I'm a Pole Dancer

This week I've got the lovely and amazing Ginja on the podcast! And she has something to say! We talk about an ongoing issue in the pole community about non-competes among studios and intellectual property regarding pole moves. It's a hot topic - but - we do want to make it very clear that by no means are we pointing fingers at anybody. The goal is to start a healthy conversation, so we can grow and create wins for everyone.
