Shayla: Welcome to the Shortcut Content podcast. I am talking with Dave Young today. Dave, I’m going to be honest with our listeners, I have no idea what the product you’re holding in your hands is right now, but I want you to tell me about it…

I don’t normally do book reviews on Shortcut Content’s blog, and I’m not really sure why. Maybe I need to read more books. But I did read this one: “Be Like Amazon – Even a Lemonade Stand Can Do It,” by Jeffrey and Bryan Eisenberg and my Wizard of Ads business partner, Roy H. Williams.
