Good interview, guys. You inspired me to get a kindle sample of Mark’s book to look at.
And a “real” Credit cookie in this one after the New Releases Song. Nice
Fantastic interview guys. Really, really enjoyed this one a lot. Mark is a fascinating guy.
Thanks Lou. Felt like we barely scratched the surface with him. I hope he writes more – the mix of humor really makes it more entertaining.
