Entertaining, Insightful and Refreshing

It’s so refreshing to hear the perspective of rising stars. So often we hear about the finished product but we don’t realize all the hard work, struggle and fun that went into building the career. I love this podcast. It’s funny, light, informative, refreshing and I’m so excited for more episodes to roll out!
