Welcome to Build Your Tribe with your host, Shalene Johnson.

Welcome to Build Your Tribe. My name is Shalene Johnson. I will be your host. You will be my co-host, normally.

But today's show is a solo show. I almost said it's a rant. I hope it doesn't turn into a rant.

I hope it doesn't come across as a rant. Although sometimes I get super duper

and say, wait a second. Hold on. Let me just share with you this information. So at least you can

make the best informed decision for yourself. What am I talking about? I'm talking about the

right way to do things when it comes to your business. This is going to be a brief episode because
