The 10-Minute Commute #27: Leadership Crush with Sherrod Schuler

This week's episode of Behind the GRIND, I have Esther Pfeifer in the Grind seat. In this conversation, we discuss her brand new blog launch called Wielding Power.

Wielding power was birthed from a deep desire to see individuals overcome trauma, shed pseudo personalities, and unlock their true identity. The objective of this blog is to help activate power and purpose within the reader as they become who they were intended to be from birth. Regardless of life experiences and environments……we all have POWER within us.
