Have you heard of the Being Boss podcast? If so, you’ll know my guest today – one half of the BB duo – Emily Thompson.
If not, you’re in for a treat.
In this episode, I interview Emily about what it means to be the boss of your business and your life.
We cover a lot of juicy mindset topics, and we discuss Emily & Kathleen’s new book – Being Boss.
I loved talking with Emily, and I hope you get a lot out of this episode!
