No guests this week folks! Scheduling conflicts prevented having anyone on this week but I figured this might be a good time to address some stuff that's come up over the recent weeks. I've gotten a number of messages from people really enjoying the Jacquire podcast and wanting to know more about that relationship. While Im fine talking about that when it's natural I don't want it to be the thing that defines me or this podcast. So I thought this would be a great opportunity to share the things I learned as a byproduct of the opportunities I was presented getting to work with the great team that I did. I also wrote a blog post about this a couple months ago for Puremix that I will include the link to. Hope you enjoy!https://www.puremix.net/blog/5-important-elements-of-being-an-assistant.htmlhttps://www.dropbox.com/sh/ypgv7fa6ohzlj78/AADmq_LpI0D51WYjnUlnDqUCa?dl=0
