Hi everyone, this is Nerea from Team GaryVee and on today's throwback episode, I picked this

chat from three years ago about the importance of emotional intelligence and how it can translate

from a regular lives to our businesses. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

So Gary, I think one of the things we want to hit on is women entrepreneurs and

so I've owned our own business now for seven years. We're together and we are a partnership and
