I know that you’ve all heard my story about growing a Pinterest marketing agency, but it’s always helpful to hear other people’s story of growth. In this episode, I interview Presh Rodgers about her journey to what her agency looks like today.

This summer we’re airing a summer story series for those who need a little break from all the tips and just need to listen to how others approach business and even how they grew their platform. These are a series of business owners I’ve handpicked to hear their stories with the hope of being inspired. Some I’ve heard before and want to share with you, but others are totally new to me and I’m excited to be led down the path of their story in hopes to learn more about them and possibly something about myself.

I have one ask for you as you listen to this series. When an episode impacts you will you share it with a friend? I believe stories have the power to help us learn and provide ah-ha moments that we often need as we’re growing our business. Your share with a friend would be the highest compliment of this podcast and I’d love it if you would extend the story to another.
