Invaluable

Your latest episode with guest Peter Goldstein was fantastic - so relevant to what we are navigating with our business today. This episode was consistent to the experience I’ve had with the many other episodes I’ve had the opportunity to hear. With each one, I glean golden nuggets to learn and grow in my own pursuits. I appreciate the time and effort you put into sharing your wealth of knowledge and that of many others.
