This episode is me doing a Q+A from my Mastermind Facebook group! I got some really good questions and I wanted to share my answers here on the podcast. I answered questions like: How to get OUT from behind the chair but still stay inspired? Whats the difference between an owner and a leader? What should I know while I am looking for my new space (leaving a suite)? and more! I also mentioned donating to the PBA disaster relief fund: https://www.probeauty.org/disaster-relief-fund/
