Today you'll meet a dad who is grateful to be home with a thriving online business! His last "real job" was as a delivery driver for FedEx and a Donut business. Brad was working up to 70 hours per week and wearing himself out. When he first discovered Amazon selling he hastily bought a pricey course and got burned by the terrible advice it contained - but fortunately for Brad he persisted and a friend told him about our podcast, the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course and our community. The rest is history! He's been full-time selling online for several months now and is looking to cap off 2019 selling over $700K on Amazon.
