Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Ultimate Business Tune Up
Allen Rich · 2017
54/100
👎 Skip It
Rich Allen (note: retailers actually list him as 'Rich Allen,' not 'Allen Rich') has a genuinely varied resume - Army captain, corporate HR exec, and small-business consultant since 2007 - which gives his distilled business model some real-world weight. But there's no outside review to confirm how that model plays out for readers, and the byline mismatch needs fixing before this goes live. Solid credentials, unproven execution.
