I’ve mentioned in previous podcast episodes that I don’t believe in paying too much to competition. Too often as entrepreneurs, we give our competition way too much credit and waste a lot of time trying to either stay ahead of them or worry about what they are doing. But that doesn’t mean I completely ignore them either. I like to put a side eye on them and in this episode, I go over what types of information I try to learn from my competition and the technology that I use to do it.
