With the current pandemic and changes in our economy, many people are looking at other ways to create multiple streams of income by starting their businesses.

Hi, everyone. I'm super excited to interview Tammy Johnson today. She's my dear guest all the way from Canada. I love to interview people from different time zones. So this has got to be a really fun interview because I love chatting with Tammy and I just have to start this interview otherwise, we're just going to go on all day. But I think today it's going to be really great podcast because I know during this current pandemic and changes in our economy, a lot of people are looking at other ways to make money or create multiple streams of income. And not surprisingly many people look at starting their own business or taking their skills and experience into bringing it in terms of making a product or service into the world. So a lot of people are thinking, can they adapt? Can they transition? So I think Tammy's story and expertise can really help a lot of small business owners or want to start people to have a think and maybe take some notes about this.

So I really hope this is going to be a useful interview for a lot of those people, but also it's going to be lots of fun.
