Most of the time the answer is no. Why is it so hard for most people to create content that generates market action?

On this week’s episode of The 2X Podcast, Bill gets in to the details of what is standing in our way of creating consistent content and why most people fail. He also gives some way to overcome those barriers.

What Story Are You Telling Yourself?

In this episode of The 2X Podcast, Bill deals with a problem that we ALL have, but most likely don’t know they have. The problem is the stories that run in our mind.
