Episode 233 Pizza Dudes, Children, and The Meaning Of Life October 6, 2018
Sunday Oct 07, 2018
Sunday Oct 07, 2018
I stood at the counter of my local pizzeria, holding my son Paul who was 6 months old and stealing the show.
The owner of the Pizzeria, who I only knew as “The Pizza Dude” (but being from NY I’m sure it had to be Mario or Tony or something) was looking at my son and it was quite evident that he was drifting off on an “outer body experience”.
Turns out, he had been traveling back in time and then said something to me, that I have never forgotten.
In this week's episode of The Sales Playbook Podcast I share it and quite honestly, it wasn't easy because its quite personal!
