There are a lot of mixed feelings about Taxi with some claiming it’s a pay-to-play scam while others sing their praises across the Internet. Either way, there’s no arguing that some people find great success through Taxi and swear by it.
On today's episode, I sit down and chat with two of our own 52 Cues members, Chris Moser and Jeff LaPlante, who seemed to have cracked the code!. We talk tips, strategies, understanding Taxi’s real strengths, and discuss the lessons learned in Taxi’s seemingly enigmatic and elusive screening process.
Plus, we take a listen both of their cues which helped them be named to Taxi’s top 10 members list for May 2022!
