On today's episode, I will be sharing 5 networking tips to prepare you for your next networking event as business owners and for all job seekers. These are not your ordinary networking tips, because these will take the focus off of us and put the focus on helping others. We will take the pressure off of networking and create a very simple plan to connect on a more meaningful level. 

I'll also share my favorite app, Nashville burger place and so much more.

My guest today is Mandy Osborne, owner of Milk and Honey Tees. She runs a successful t-shirt printing business from her home. What I love about Mandy is the intentional way she runs her company. She does things on purpose and I can't wait for you to hear her share about what she does. Plus we had a blast chatting that I think we both forgot we were recording. So much fun! She started out selling to friends online and this soon became a "larger than expected" business on Etsy.  Mandy is also a mom to 3 boys. She purposely kept her business at home so she could be available to her family. She gives us lots of nuggets of truth and wisdom on living and working from home.   We also talk about her Etsy Pattern website and how that has grown with her business. Listen to hear what Mandy is doing to give back to a community in Rwanda. The THREE THINGS she is loving: 

1. Tan Towels - Easy to use self-tanning towels 

2. New Morning Mercies - Her devotional book by Paul David Tripp

3. When Breath Becomes Air -  Memoir by Paul Kalanithi

Another book we talked about was Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living by Shauna Niequist
