Not only that,  but more than two-thirds of consumers worldwide say they would switch, avoid, or boycott brands based on their stance on controversial issues.
    Put simply, if you want to grow your audience and your business moving forward, you need to make some conscious-decisions around your impact.

Warm Audio Nuggets of Gold

I’ve followed Pru for a while from her other podcast - One Wild Ride. This podcast goes in a more inward direction, as Pru shares her wisdom candidly and with a focus on business owners. Pru is upbeat, energetic, and does a great job of keeping those levels up as she shares things she knows, has explored, and learned along the way.

The episodes are short and digestible too without skimming on necessary details. Love her approach and recommend for any emerging or esablished business owner who is looking to help themselves.
