Episode Notes

I’ve been using HARO for a number of years. In fact, it was one of the first free services I used in order to get Penji press, backlinks, mentions etc. In my opinion it is a business staple and I was incredibly grateful to speak and thank the person who started it all.

Peter is as real as it gets. From the stories he shared about his family/personal life to the in-depth story about how important hiring is. Finding the right person or people is critical to one’s success and I hope you particularly perk your ears up when Peter talks about what he does when he hires a new employee.
