On this week's episode of Own the Microphone, Bridgett McGowen welcomes an entrepreneur who speaks to audiences around the world, helping them think, play, and pay differently, Les Adkins. Bridgett and Les discuss finding your passion, transitioning from in-person speaking to virtual, recommendations when it comes to virtual presentations, and more!

Download Les's app @DigitalGift and send him a note on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn with a picture of your phone with you and his app.  Les will pick one lucky winner to receive a $100 DigitalGift card from his app and a 30-minute 1-on-1 interview in how to understand how people make decisions.   Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/les.adkins   LinkedIn:  http://linkedin.com/in/lesadkins Twitter:  @Orange2Social
