In this episode, I speak with author and entrepreneur Sean McCabe (@seanwes) about the practical path to making a living from your passion.
Sean is the author of Overlap: Start a Business While Working Full Time and has built multiple successful businesses in different niches. He now spends most of his time helping others do the same.
