I love doing a summary show from time to time. It allows me to choose a topic and mine out gold nuggets to share with you from multiple guests. Approaching a topic in this way gives us a broad perspective with different insights from different guests. On today’s show, we’re talking about using social media to build your business. Let’s face it–social media can be intimidating, but we’ve had several guests focus on its importance, so I wanted to highlight some of their teachings for you today.
