Bonus Session (February 2025): Building through a vision: Day-to-Day in the host's world.
As the host of this podcast, I have the opportunity to deep dive and explore the journeys of others, growing with each conversation. I don't often speak to what I'm up to; so, in the interest of the move up from pro to amateur sport, give this a listen, reach out to connect, and stay tuned...there's some pretty cool things percolating over here!
