Everyday get, “Just A Touch Of Love!” Ronnell is giving us “just a little bit” of encouragement, inspiration, and lighting of the fire 🔥 with “Daily Drinking!” Keep listening and keep climbing! Thanks 🙏🏾, Ronnell!

Julian Hayes II ,

Potent and efficient

Firstly, this is a fantastic name for a podcast. Secondly, you’re not going to feel motivated and inspired to conquer the world every morning. And that’s where this podcast shines. This straight-to-the-point podcast is the perfect antidote to low energy and “taking it easy” toward your dreams for the day.

Make this podcast a daily staple of your morning routine so you can get your mind right, learn some valuable insights from an experienced entrepreneur, and hit the ground running with some momentum.
