Then you ABSOLUTELY can’t miss Episode 17 of The Road to a Billion with Stefan Georgi…

The call-in show where YOU get to ask him questions about copywriting, freelancing, relationships, scaling offers, entrepreneurship, mindset, and more!

In this episode, Stefan and co-host Ed Reay are joined by living legend Brian Kurtz…

If you don’t know who Brian is (he would NOT want to assume that you do)...

He is one of the most recognized and experienced marketers in the world of direct response marketing...

Who, throughout his 40-year (so far) career, has helped generate over a BILLION dollars in sales ...

And who’s mentored, collaborated, and learned from virtually EVERY legendary marketer you can think of (names like Perry Marshall, Dan Kennedy, and Parris Lampropoulos, just to name a few).

Make sure to listen until the very end, and pay special attention to this episode because every line coming out of Brian’s mouth is pure gold!!

Here’s a glimpse of some of the game-changing insights you’ll learn:

The “Three-Legged Stool” strategy to become the BEST marketer you could ever be

The ONE trait most A-list copywriters have in common (if you develop it, you’ll be up there with them!)

A dozen “war stories” starring some of the most RENOWNED names in the direct response world (you’ll learn the craziest lessons from them!)

  • The BIGGEST mistake many copywriters and marketers make when ‘specializing’ and positioning themselves. Brian Kurtz also reveals why something called the ‘3-Legged Stool Of Marketing’ is the secret to success for many industry titans.
  • How paying for postage made Brian Kurtz a better marketer. Discover the FATAL assumption many email marketers make in terms of list management. (Hint: Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.)
