  • Fun and informative

So much information is shared by Therese and her interviewees and I feel like I know a lot more about the industry already which is super empowering. The chats are fun and easy to listen to, and for a wholesale newby, lead me to feel less daunted and excited to get stuck in. Thanks Therese!
