This podcast popped up on my Instagram and I’m so glad it did! 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!

I feel much better informed and more confident about wholesale (we’re at the very start of our journey) and I also love Therese’s friendly and approachable style. The problem I now have is if I ever meet her then to me she’ll be like... more
