What's goin' on everyone? It's Steve Larsen, and this is Sales Funnel Radio.   Today I'm gonna tell you guys, and try and convince you that you should never hire a marketer.   I've spent the last four years learning from the most brilliant marketers today, and now I've left my nine-to-five to take the plunge, and build my million-dollar business.   The real question is, \"How will I do it without VC funding or debt, completely from scratch?\" This podcast is here to give you the answer.   Join me and follow along, as I learn, apply, and share marketing strategies to grow my online business - using only today's best internet sales funnels.   My name is Steve Larsen, and welcome to Sales Funnel Radio.   What's up, guys?
