My guest this week is me, Maria Franzoni, I'm talking to myself. Well, I hope I'm not talking to myself. Why am I here talking to you? Well, I wanted to talk to you about what has been going on, there have been a lot of changes in the last year and a half and I wanted to share where I've come from and where we are going to next. You may have heard the rumours; I've closed my speaker bureau and I am moving on to new things. In fact, I'm going to be sharing a lot of knowledge that I have from my speaker bureau in forthcoming podcasts.
