Sunday, November 7, 2021I was trying out the new Entre app tonight, which is a "social network for entrepreneurs & the future of work." (At least some of the features are just about a week old, but the company has existed much longer.). Little did I realize the CEO & founder of Entre, Michael Marra, had jumped into my show & was requesting to speak. We had a great conversation that lasted most of this episode. Hats off to Michael & his team for creating a social audio app that is more than just audio, & I wish them the best of luck moving forward.
