About Today's Guest on The Sales Podcast

Jason Scheff was a 20-something singer with a drug problem when he got his big break to audition to become the singer and bass player for one of the hottest bands of all time—Chicago.

That was 1985.

He cleaned up his act, won over the band, and for most, that would be "the rest of the story."

Fast forward 30 years, and Jason isn't just sitting back playing gigs and collecting royalties.

No sir. Hear what he is doing to stay current and rich in this episode of The Sales Podcast.
