This episode you're going to hear from my friend Curtis about the print-on-demand space. 

We were talking about this software called MyDesigns that he's been building.

He's gotten to $100,000 a month in revenue and had an offer to sell before launch. 

Curtis is also going to give you a masterclass in building print-on-demand businesses. If you're trying to build a passive income engine so you can get post economic this is a perfect place to start.
