Darcy is from the Tonal Persuasion Method. He is someone I wanted to interview for many reasons. Firstly is he makes sales a whole lot less sleazy sounding, (which let's be honest many of us hate sales and we view it as a dirty word). Secondly I love the fact that he gives crazy amounts of value for free - his social media marketing skills alone are worth having him on the show for. Thirdly, this guy is young and confident.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recently I wrote a piece on social media about the importance of de-cluttering. Getting rid of bad habits, toxic people, old ideas. But then I got to thinking, "What if the most toxic person in your life is you?"

The family would return home salty, happy and satis
