episode 009 - Julie Lankes - The business of telling a Good story starts with your own Interesting Ish

I met Julie Lankes this past year through a Grand Rapids Chamber based program called "Leadership Grand Rapids". Julie and I hit it off early on as we talked a bit about working at Camps growing up. We're both fascinated with personality assessments and knowing ourselves well. Julie has had a successful career as a business owner as the founder of BoxBoom Creative, and has since opened up the doors to new fields of work to continue to satisfy her undying curiosity. If you're an achiever, a business owner, a brander or a business based creative ... this is a conversation for you. If you're like the rest of us and just like to listen in, there's some great content as well. Enjoy this Interesting Ish folks!
