Podcast 59:45| Download | Spotify| Stitcher | iTunes | Comment
In this week's episode, we've invited one of our favorite bloggers and thinkers to pull up a virtual chair and share some of the burning issues he’s been writing about.
Nat Eliason is the founder and CEO of a marketing agency called Growth Machine, as well as the author of a fantastic blog at NatEliason.com.
Nat is not only a successful agency owner, but he has some interesting theories about entrepreneurship and scaling a multi-million dollar agency that we were keen to pick his brain about.
Nat joins us this week for a wide-ranging discussion, where he opens up about his aversions to "struggle porn", the distinction between money and wealth, and the true nuts and bolts of running a successful agency.

Why Nat believes investing in yourself can yield some of the best returns. (11:07)
