I think you will enjoy this lively and resource-packed discussion. We start the conversation off by Nikki and Pete sharing their professional backgrounds, both as individuals and as a team. You are going to learn about a lot of resources in this discussion. Pete and I also share how we use some of these resources and give you tips on how to get the most out of them. Later in the discussion, Nikki talks about organizing and she shares some techniques you can use to help get organized.
