    Ivy Insights

    The How To Start Your Own Business podcast hosted by Ed is one that I highly recommend to anyone looking to grow themselves and their consulting or coaching career. I stumbled upon this podcast on Clubhouse last year and have been hooked ever since. One of the best aspects of this podcast is the value that Ed consistently provides. His questions are smart, his topics are relevant, and his insights are incredibly valuable for those looking to take their business to the next level.

    One of the things that sets this podcast apart from others is that Ed unearths the facts that most gurus don't want you to know. He shares his own experiences as a real business expert, showcasing both his successes and scars. This authenticity adds credibility to his advice and makes it all the more powerful. Additionally, Ed continually upgrades his skills and pays it forward, ensuring that he is always providing up-to-date and actionable information.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is the practicality of the content. Listeners are encouraged to keep a pen and paper handy while listening because the steps provided can be applied straightaway. Whether it's strategies for growing wealth, improving health, enhancing relationships, or finding happiness, Ed covers a wide range of topics that can positively impact various areas of life.

    There really isn't anyone else who gives as much excellent content for free as Ed does. His generosity in sharing valuable information through his podcast, YouTube channel, Facebook page, Instagram account, and Twitter feed is unmatched. If you're looking to change your life for the better in many different areas, I highly recommend listening to this podcast and following Ed's work on various platforms.

    To get the most out of this podcast, I suggest starting from the beginning and going through each episode in order. This allows you to follow along with Ed's journey and learn from his experiences in a systematic way. By doing so, you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your own potential.

    In conclusion, The How To Start Your Own Business podcast is a gem that I'm so grateful to have discovered. Ed's easy-going demeanor and seemingly put-together nature may be deceiving, but his wealth of knowledge and insights about various aspects of life are truly remarkable. Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up in your business, this podcast is a must-listen. Take notes, implement the strategies, and watch as your life and business improve. Thank you, Ed, for inspiring me and countless others with your valuable content.
