Episode description

We love to revisit past guests who started their Amazon selling journey months or years ago and have continued to climb to new heights! Today we visit a guest who was last with us three years ago - right in the middle of covid panic! It was episode 345 when we last hear from Spencer and he as a nurse working frantically to leave his "career" behind and gain the flexibility of an Amazon based income.   He's yet another incredible success story from the provenamazoncourse.com family!   When we last interviewed him, he had just made the leap to full-time on Amazon with the REPLENS Amazon model, but get this - his business is now more than 6X bigger than it was.   He's learned a lot of lessons along the way and he's also joined us as a coach on our team and he's presenting at one of the over 40 breakout sessions at the TheProvenConference.com event July 6-8th in Columbus Ohio   You'll love catching up with this student who continues to climb while learning and teaching invaluable lessons as he goes!   Watch this episode here: https://youtu.be/LeTDkCB01Lg   Bonus content!
