My guest today is Taylor Pearson, the author of the #1 Amazon best selling book The End of Jobs. Pearson has spent the last several years researching and traveling the world and talking to successful entrepreneurs, which inspired him to write the book.

Trend Following Radio: True, Simple and Genuine

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Michael,

Greetings from Houston, Texas.

Your recent podcast discussion on Speculation vs Gambling was stunning. Stunning enough to force me to take a moment and send this thank you email. Although we are submerged in information these days (blogs, podcasts, books), true, simple and genuine information has gotten harder to come by.

I have yet to write a review for your podcast. I am still evaluating. Don’t want to underrate you by just giving 5 stars. Michael, THANK YOU for clearing the bullshit in the air.

Sincerely,
[Name]

Thanks!
