Creating an engaging website is the difference between the NOW of having a great website as opposed to what was a “great website” 10 years ago. RJ Redden is fantastic at making websites fun and engaging.

Some Time-worthy Notes:
As a small business coach and consultant, I have built my business on the idea that entrepreneurship impacts communities and the world. I work with small business owners to increase their impact, build businesses for greater purposes, hone their focus, and sort out what exactly they should be focusing on. With the members in my Full Focus Entrepreneur Program, I dive into a different key area of entrepreneurship each month to bring them EXACTLY and ONLY what they need to succeed in that area. The Podcast is a chance for me to bring in an outside expert on that topic.
