Tune in for a conversation with Justin Michael, Founder of the Justin Michael Method, on how AI is reshaping sales without replacing what matters most: the human connection.

They dig into the rise of fractional work, why consulting can unlock both freedom and income, and how the smartest sales leaders are using AI as a force multiplier, not a crutch. If you want a front-row seat to the future of sales strategy, start listening now.
