4 pages of notes!
I can’t say enough about this podcast. It’s great! I was able to catch up, listening to them at work yesterday and conspicuously took four pages of nuggets. It gave me motivation to dive back into my Etsy shop. I did sign up for her other course about a month ago, and I’m excited to continue with her learning path. I highly recommend, listening to her podcast the information she provides is something people typically would pay for.
