050 Chris Cerrone & Laci Urcioli | The Importance of Staying True To Yourself
Listen Now!
Here’s the Recap:
Chris Cerrone and Laci Urcioli are the hosts of The Chris Cerrone Show, which is a topped ranked business podcast specifically for entrepreneurs. I have interviewed Chris in the past and I bring him on for the second time, because I believe the 50th episode should be an opportunity for reflection. Chris and Laci open up on why they stopped their podcast, why they hated a section of their audience, and their inability to say no.

Thanks for an open an honest conversation. It was something podcasters need to hear every now and then!
Been a big fan of Chris and Laci for a long time, joined their NLS group listened to 90% of all the Cerrone Show episodes. This interview is honest, crazy, and heartbreaking. Harry you’ve come a long way as an interviewer,you asked some tough questions and you brought out some real raw answers. Great interview.
