Serious value for the emerging copywriter!
I can’t get enough. I am absorning as much as I can, as fast as I can, in order to get my business off the ground. The makers of this podcast know their audience VERY well. They know exactly where we are. What guidance and advice we need. They know our insecurities and our fears and they address all of this head on to help give us a leg up. Thank you, Nicki and Kate!
