Good, Better, Best: How to Price for Profit With Rafi Mohammed | Creator Capitalist Podcast

Rafi Mohammed has published over 100 Harvard Business Review articles at a publication that rejects 99% of submissions, and he became the category king of pricing after his agent dropped him and McGraw-Hill rejected his book by answering machine.
