The podcasts are a companion to the book, "Markup & Profit; A Contractor's Guide". Michael frequently directs the listener to specific pages in the book, if you don't already own the book you will want to purchase it. These podcasts are the same recording as the audio version of the Markup & Profit class, broken into smaller chunks and now available as a download in MP3 format. You can purchase podcasts individually or together.
