Real talk that is helpful!

Enjoyed listening to the show, like how Maggie gives real insightful advise on how to have a sustainable business.

Linsey L. ,

Simple and helpful

Maggie is very experienced in small business and gives really great advice and insights into the small business world. I really enjoy that she does not simply talk crap about people, but offers solutions to how we can be more transparent, honest, and authentic in our businesses while still making money. We don't need to use tricks to get people to trust us and buy from us.
