Welcome back to The Ground Up Show. I'm Matt Diavella, and today I'm speaking with Melissa Griffin.

She's a successful entrepreneur that teaches business owners and bloggers how to grow their

the psychology behind why we quit. We reminisce about some of our first paid gigs, and she gives me a ton of

if you leave a review for the ground-up show on iTunes.
