  • Summary

  • As business owners, we live the struggle between work and life everyday. Instead of sacrificing one for the other in a never ending game of whack-a-mole, we'll explore how you can create BOTH the business AND life of your dreams. My name is Brett Ingram, and I am a digital marketing entrepreneur and award-winning software business owner. I'm also a proud husband and father of three, a sports and movie fan, and a fitness enthusiast. I started this podcast to shatter the myth that you need to choose between success at work and success at home. I believe you can have your dream business and your dream life, and I want to share my experiences and journey and learn from yours too.
