Customer Reviews
Loved the April 6 Episode
I really enjoyed listening to the episode you guys did with Christa Jones from Rose City Organizing… the hour flew by it was so good! I loved how down to earth she was when talking about her business and how if you want things to work, you gotta put in the work and be confident about it. It was really uplifting and got me into a positive outlook in my own business to push through my fear and just go for it. You gained a new listener after this one. Great podcast!
