  • Authentic and amazing

    I’m so grateful to have found this podcast because it is relatable, valuable, entertaining and so real! As an early entrepreneur it is so cathartic to know I’m not alone in some of the raggedy struggles that come with entrepreneurship. And the episode with Fawn — life changing!
