ROI Podcast™ — the #1 Entrepreneurial Business meets Comedy podcast hosted by Law Smith + Eric Readinger
Law Smith and Eric Readinger turn ROI Podcast® episode 505 into a very stupid, very specific, very competitive Scrabble-adjacent bloodsport. After confessing that his viral Iron Cross video was a high-tech fake, Law pulls out the Auburn business school alumni magazine and sends the conversation into full Scrabble challenge mode. Not because Auburn deserves shade, because Auburn gave the boys something smart, polished, and weirdly irresistible to obsess over. Harbert Magazine becomes the launch point for a lovingly unhinged breakdown of racks, bingos, bonus squares, tile counts, point...

Jodi Scott is the CEO and co‑founder of Green Goo by Spry Life, a plant‑based first aid company that started the way a lot of real businesses do: out of necessity, frustration, and a kitchen that slowly turned into a production facility.
