This week on the podcast, I’m fortunate to again welcome a returning guest, someone I think is simply an awesome individual.

Her name is Natalie Sisson, and you’d have to go all the way back to Episode #023 to hear our first chat together. Hard to believe it’s been over 5 years.

Natalie’s new book is one I’m learning a lot from, and I believe you will too, especially if you’re attempting to run your own business, or you plan to one day.

It’s called The Freedom Plan: Redesign Your Business to Work Less, Earn More and Be Free. In it, you’ll learn exactly how and what you need to create your own unique freedom plan that allows you to do the work that matters, that gives you purpose and puts a dent in this world–all while living your perfect day, every day.
