Inspired by an employee who is working from home during lockdown who doesn’t think she has what it takes to be self-employed...   In The Show Nicola speaks of bitcoin, poker, scones with sister Heather, sourcing faster broadband to share with daughter Phoebe, and a close relative taking a Covid-19 test and finding it negative. Judith has lots on in her role as chatelaine and does some thinking aloud about Own It! the Podcast and whether it is or should be just about business. #Bitcoin #Business #Halvening #Self-Employed #Covid-19 #Chutzpah #JordanBPeterson #LorieLadd   What's Fuelled Their Fire?
