Great guests and interview style

I’m particularly interested in how the mind works, the psychology of business and marketing. This podcast has it all!

Ready Set Grit incites wake-ups for rising entrepreneurs.

Thank you, Elin Barton, for creating a podcast that incites wake-up calls for rising entrepreneurs. As a guest, your questions led us into interesting places as we imagined going to couple's counseling with money, as we illuminated aligned vs. misaligned approaches to business creation, and as we dared listeners to let the old chapter go so they could say yes to their greater calling. Grateful for our conversation in Episode 80. Look forward to more great episodes from you!
