As you can tell if you listen, I recorded this before my Nancy Werlin episode, and then didn’t upload it due to other pressing issues. No matter, it’s a great show with tons of really useful tips from my guest, Lisa Gottfried.

Just my two cents, of course. Though, I'm sure the long ones are more work, so whatever is easiest–as long as you keep going. 🙂

    And I really appreciate your two cents, which feels like it's worth way more! Thank you!
