Summary
Today's episode is an original mashup of what I believe needs to be talked about more in the business world... kindness. I've made it a goal of mine to speak on soft skills being more instrumental in business success than the hard skills. You can build the biggest business in town without tearing anybody else down. You can get rich while being kind! This is so important and I really feel like you're going to get a lot from this episode.
Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.
