Today, I sat down with the mastermind behind the marketing and advertising of the Max Tornow brand and Freedom Business Mentoring, Robin Bouwman.

He’s generated over $50 million in revenue for his clients worldwide, and in this episode, we’ll talk about the biggest bottleneck when it comes to scaling your business from $50k a month to multiple six figures a month, how to stand out against your competition, and how to spot and catch marketing trends early.

We’ll also discuss the importance of perpetual learning, how business shapes you into a better person, and what you can learn from the biggest companies like Amazon or Booking. Enjoy!
