  • Inspiration

    I really enjoyed the rebranding episode so much it was a topic of conversation in my weekly work meeting and also an association at my job. The words seem to be more intention than just saying I want to do this, then you focus on that one thing.

  • Hard Pass

    After a listen, I honestly can’t say I’d tune in again. Mona seems very inauthentic. Jeanette, I liked. Hard to waste my limited time on a host that isn’t genuine.
