Fabulous Resource
Amy Woods Butler has created a podcast that shines light on the path for those coming behind her in this industry. She is engaging...asking all the questions you are wanting to know the answers to while keeping the show fun and interesting! Thank you Amy for this gift!
Always interesting
A very well done podcast. Amy Woods Butler is a pro. I listen to many, many podcasts and Amy has a real gift. Amazing to me the number of “big time” podcast hosts who love hear themselves talk and the guests can’t get a word in edge-wise. They could all use a lesson from Amy! She asks great questions and draws out engaging, interesting answers from her guests. I love the variety of guests and I always learn something new.
