#15 - "Overcoming Awkward" with Monica Parkin

Today I welcome Monica Parkin to the podcast!

Monica is accomplished in so many areas from business to hobby farming... and now a best-selling author of the book, "Overcoming Awkward:  The Introvert's Guide to Networking, Marketing, and Sales"!

Monica wrote this book in only 30 days and actually inspired me to finally get around to writing that book I've always had on the back burner!

Today Monica and I talk about relationship-building, peaceful productivity, and creating joy.
