Informative, easy listen

Wow! I gained some great info and knowledge from listening to your download. With a daughter aspiring to be the next “Erin Andrews” this was so great to hear. I felt connected to Mackenzie and Shelby the way they spoke of growing up with the internet (logging on after school!) and I think their roles have so much potential. Looking forward to the next download!
