I’m hope you’ll join me on Monday! Everybody’s favorite Irish business coach, Krishna De of Biz Growth Live, grills me on the possibilities of blogs, business and branding. I’ll be giving away copies of the book + instant access to some of my courses to a few lucky listeners – but you have to be […]
