The podcast you need

I stubbled across this podcast while listening to Amber interview on another podcast and it was just what I needed. I love Amber's approach and the way she gets us to think differently. One of my biggest takeaways has been transforming how I manage my email inbox and plan my weeks. Making these simple changes has made such a difference in both my personal life and business.

Brandon Fong is the real deal. ,

Thoughtful & thought-provoking

Amber challenges us to think differently about how we invest our time. Her curated guest list delights and informs. I have had the unique honor of not only learning from this podcast but of sharing my message that self-care isn’t selfish in episode 313. Amber brings out the best of the guest and of the audience.
