For as much as we all joke about the, "kids these days" mentality that every generation seems to have in one form or another, for most of human history this sentiment was often more anecdotalI than anything else. Typically we see youth as a combination of  'risky behavior' mixed with 'poor decision-making' - a dangerous cocktail to be certain - but trying something new at ANY stage of life will often look foolish to those on the outside. The question each of us faces, then, is how much are we willing to trust ourselves. It's a question my guest this week wants her clients to answer with confidence, and maybe a little bit of laughter. Nermin Jasani joins us this week for a conversation about how she went from managing to get into a Wall Street job at the height of the financial crisis to moving across the country to attempt a tech start up, ultimately coming back to the law as a consultant for other women in the profession. We discuss the importance of hiring good people, why technology is fantastic but can't replace our responsibilities, and how the business of law is always rooted in the economics of Supply & Demand.Enjoy the show!

In part one of this Building Better Foundations interview, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche talk with Greg Lind, founder of Buildly and OpenBuild, about bridging the gap in software development through AI, automation, and collaboration. Greg shares how modern teams can overcome silos, strengthen communication, and build transparency into their workflows — creating stronger, more adaptive foundations for success in today's fast-paced, AI-driven world. "We wanted to bring developers and product managers into one tool—so they could build together rather than as two separate teams." — Greg Lind About the Guest — Greg Lind Gregory Lind is an American software developer, author, and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in open-source innovation, software efficiency, and team transparency. He's the founder of Buildly in Brooklyn and co-founder of Humanitec in Berlin, helping organizations modernize systems through collaboration and automation. A frequent speaker at Open Gov and Open Source conferences, Greg advocates for open, scalable solutions and smarter software processes. His upcoming book, "Radical Therapy for Software Teams" (Apress, 2024), explores how transparency and AI can transform how teams build software. Bridging the Gap Between Teams and Tools Greg's journey toward bridging the gap started years ago while working with Humanitech in Berlin, where he saw firsthand how poorly connected processes caused frustration and inefficiency. Traditional Agile frameworks, while once revolutionary, began to buckle under the pressure of multi-repo, multi-cloud, and AI-driven development. "Agile started to break under the pressure—especially when we introduced AI-driven tools and CI/CD pipelines. The cycles just weren't fast enough." — Greg Lind To solve this, Buildly introduced a Rapid AI Development (RAD) process — a modern evolution of Agile that supports faster, release-based cycles rather than rigid sprints. It's an approach designed to keep pace with today's distributed teams and complex workflows. Bridging the Gap Through Automated Communication At the heart of Buildly's philosophy is a belief that communication shouldn't slow developers down — it should empower them. By integrating tools like Trello and GitHub, Buildly connects product and sprint backlogs into one transparent view. Developers' commits, issues, and updates automatically feed into team dashboards, reducing the need for endless meetings and manual updates. "You shouldn't have to explain what you did yesterday. Your commits already tell that story." — Greg Lind This approach allows teams to focus on outcomes rather than overhead — building trust, visibility, and true alignment across departments. It's automation as a bridge, not a barrier. Using AI to Bridge the Gap Between People and Process While Greg embraces AI's potential, he warns against depending on it too heavily. AI is great at identifying tasks and patterns, but humans still bring creativity, empathy, and strategic thinking to the table. "AI can tell you what's urgent, but it can't understand what's important." — Greg Lind In Greg's view, AI should be a co-pilot — helping teams filter information, automate repetitive work, and focus on higher-value decisions. By balancing automation with human insight, teams can bridge the gap between efficiency and innovation. Empowering Developers to Bridge the Gap Themselves Greg encourages developers not to wait for leadership to fix broken processes — but to take initiative. Automate your own workflows, visualize your backlog, and demonstrate how better systems can look in practice. "Even if you have to automate your own backlog—do it. Show your team what better looks like." — Greg Lind This proactive mindset transforms teams from reactive to adaptive, ensuring that everyone contributes to bridging the gap between communication, accountability, and delivery. Bridging the Gap Toward the Future of Development Greg Lind's insights remind us that bridging the gap in software development isn't about adopting the latest framework — it's about reconnecting people, process, and purpose. When teams share context, communicate openly, and use AI responsibly, they build stronger foundations for innovation. As this episode shows, the future of software isn't about faster code — it's about better collaboration. And bridging the gap is where that future begins.

Today, we take a nuanced look at automating cyber risk management.   Let's start with ingress of data.  Kemp Jennings-Roach from the DoD understands the concept of having a complete inventory of an agency's data. Still, his experience shows that data coming in from multiple missions, potentially with various classifications, can be challenging.   Combine that with varying kinds of reporting requirements, and you get a process that can overwhelm even the most experienced individuals. His recommendation is to consider a platform approach that can help normalize data, allowing it to be used in a meaningful way.   Matt Goodrich from Diligent expands on some of the benefits of automation. For example, you may have a shortage of talent that can be compensated for with an automated platform. Automation reduces human error and can speed up the time to report.   Goodrich makes a great point about summarizing information. The goal of reviewing logs for anomalies is not to create a report, but to increase speed to action.      Rather than arbitrarily selecting an automated system, Goodrich suggests looking for tools that can integrate with existing systems and align with compliance frameworks, such as FedRAMP and NIST CSF.

Developing strong financial habits starts with understanding how you interact with money—both consciously and unconsciously. To truly make the most of what you earn, you need to uncover the hidden patterns in your spending and recognize where money might be slipping away. So, what everyday habits could be quietly draining your wallet without you even realizing it?   Links: Want lower interest rates?

Learn more about Triangle Credit Union   Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.   In order for us to live financially free lives, we need to take charge of ALL the ways we spend money. Part of taking charge involves recognizing all the productive and unproductive ways we're spending our money.   Last week we covered five sneaky ways our habits can drain our wallets and this week I'm going to present five more for you to be aware of.  Exorbitantly High Interest Loans High-interest loans—like payday loans, certain credit cards, or quick cash advances—can trap you in a relentless cycle of debt. What starts as a short-term fix often turns into long-term financial strain, with interest piling up faster than you can pay it down. These types of loans are especially risky in tough economic times, when borrowing may feel like the only option. Unfortunately, the high rates make it difficult to catch up, and the stress of mounting debt can affect your overall financial health.  If you recently discovered you're paying a lot of money towards high-interest debt, explore alternatives like refinancing, balance transfers to lower-interest cards, or consolidating debt through a reputable lender. If you're unsure where to start, speaking with a financial advisor or nonprofit credit counselor can help you find safer, more sustainable solutions.   Overspending on Convenience Services Food delivery, express shipping, and pre-packaged items are all about ease—but that convenience comes at a cost. Whether it's the markup on restaurant meals, the extra fees for rush shipping, or the premium price of ready-made products, these small expenses can quietly snowball into a major budget drain. It's tempting to lean on these services when life gets busy, but using them regularly can eat into your finances more than you might expect. In today's economy, where every dollar matters, convenience should be a conscious choice—not a default habit.   Plan ahead to reduce reliance on convenience services. Cooking at home, batching errands, or choosing standard shipping instead of express can lead to meaningful savings without sacrificing too much comfort.  Lifestyle Inflation As income grows, spending often grows right along with it—a phenomenon known as lifestyle inflation. It's easy to justify upgrades like a nicer car, more frequent dining out, or luxury gadgets when you're earning more, but these habits rarely improve long-term financial security. In fact, they can quietly prevent you from building savings, investing, or reaching bigger financial goals. Without a plan, higher income can lead to higher expenses and little progress.   Keep your lifestyle modest even as your earnings rise. Automate savings so a portion of your income goes directly into a savings or investment account, and set clear financial goals to stay focused. That way, you can enjoy your success without letting it slip through your fingers.  Buying Low-Quality Items That Need Frequent Replacement Cheap products may seem like a bargain at first glance, but poor quality often leads to more frequent replacements—costing you more over time. Whether it's clothing that wears out after a few washes, electronics that break down quickly, or furniture that doesn't hold up, these purchases can become a cycle of spending that feels never-ending. In the long run, constantly replacing low-quality items can drain your budget and leave you frustrated. Plus, the environmental impact of disposable goods adds another layer of cost that's easy to overlook.  Invest in durable, well-reviewed items when possible. While the upfront cost may be higher, quality purchases tend to last longer, perform better, and offer greater value—saving you money and hassle down the road. Overpaying for Expensive Brand Names Premium brands often charge significantly more for products that offer similar quality to generic or store-brand alternatives. While the packaging and marketing may be more polished, the actual performance or ingredients are often nearly identical. In many cases, you're paying extra for the name, not the value. This is especially true with household goods, groceries, and personal care items, where brand loyalty can overshadow smart spending. Over time, these brand-based purchases can quietly inflate your expenses without delivering better results.  Take a moment to compare ingredients, reviews, and performance before buying. You might be surprised to find that a lower-cost alternative works just as well—or even better—than the name-brand version.  Being mindful of these habits doesn't mean you have to live ultra-frugally or give up the things you enjoy. It's about making smarter choices that align with your financial goals. A few small changes can lead to big savings—and a lot less stress when you check your bank account.  That concludes this week's list of five more sneaky habits that can drain your wallet. If you didn't catch the first five, check out last week's Money Tip for the rest of the list.  If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org and don't forget to like and follow our Making Money Personal FB page and look for Triangle on Instagram and LinkedIn to share your thoughts.  Thanks for listening to today's Money Tip Tuesday.

In this episode of the IT Experts Podcast, I sat down with the brilliant Fiona Challis to separate reality from the noise and give MSP owners a practical route to value. We opened with a simple viewpoint. AI is not a magic fix and it is not a toy to chase. It becomes powerful when it sits on top of clear processes, clean data, and a focused plan.     That theme runs through the whole conversation with Fiona Challis, who has spent recent years enabling partners around enterprise AI and then translating that experience for the MSP world. The result is a set of grounded lessons that help you create capacity, improve client experience, and grow revenue without creating chaos.    We began with the service desk, because it is where most MSPs feel the pain. Fiona Challis drew a helpful line between automation and AI. Many teams still have a backlog of simple automations available inside the tools they already pay for. Tidy those first to free time and reduce firefighting. Once the ground is set, AI can handle a large slice of tier one demand through voice agents and smart triage. A well-trained voice agent can answer calls, qualify the user, create a ticket with the right context, and get it to the correct queue. That single move lowers the noise floor and gives engineers the space to do higher value work. The critical point is that none of this works without basic workflows, decent documentation, and accurate data. Garbage in leads to poor outcomes. A little discipline in process creates a lot of value once you layer in AI.    Sales and marketing came next. Many MSP owners dislike this part of the job and often push it to the bottom of the to do list. AI can carry a heavy load here when used thoughtfully. Fiona Challis explained how an AI SDR can answer inbound calls at all hours, qualify interest, book meetings straight into your calendar, and route non buyers to relevant assets that nurture interest. That removes delay and prevents lead leakage. On outbound and account development, an AI analyst agent can sweep your CRM and contracts to surface missed opportunities across your existing base. We discussed one real world example where this activity revealed more than six hundred thousand pounds of potential from accounts that were already paying the MSP. That kind of return changes the shape of the quarter and gives your team a clear priority list.    Tool choice came up, and we gave a steer that saves time. Do not buy software based on headline price. Measure tools by the hours they give back, the improvement in client experience, and how they help your team perform. Money can be earned again. Time cannot. If one platform removes half of your tier one traffic or cuts proposal cycle time in half, that platform pays for itself many times over.     We then tackled client offerings, with a special focus on Microsoft Copilot. Many MSPs sell the licence and stop there, which leaves clients confused and creates security risk from ad hoc use of multiple AI tools. The fix is simple and valuable. Adopt Copilot inside your own MSP first and create one or two internal champions. Capture the time saved and the outcomes you achieve. Lead with those use cases in your conversations. Follow that with a paid AI or Copilot readiness assessment that checks data hygiene, permissions, workflows, and change readiness.    Fiona Challis has seen MSPs charge meaningfully for this assessment, then package remedial work to clean data, lock down access, and prepare the environment. Once the foundations are set, run a 30-day adoption pilot that targets a visible quick win, like meeting summaries with actions, agent setup for routine tasks, or document drafting for proposals. After the pilot, move into an acceleration phase that adds leaderboards, prompt packs, training rhythms, and light gamification to drive real adoption. The message is simple. You are not selling a licence. You are guiding a transformation that raises productivity, revenue, and experience for users and clients.    A question many owners ask is who delivers all of this. The pathway is not heavy. Your AI SDR filters interest and books the right conversations. Your internal champions run the readiness assessment with a clear checklist. Your engineers deliver the remediation as projects with defined outcomes. Your client success rhythm then tracks adoption and wins. That repeatable sequence turns Copilot from an unprofitable add on into a profitable solution stack that protects your base and attracts buyers who value progress.    Throughout the episode, Fiona Challis emphasised a steady cadence. Create a two-year roadmap across four quadrants, service operations, sales, marketing, and client offerings. Pick one quick win every 30 to 90 days. Implement, measure, and move to the next win. That rhythm stops the noise, builds confidence, and compounds results. It also positions you as a managed AI provider in the eyes of your clients. You become the partner who assesses readiness, remediates risk, aligns workflow, and accelerates adoption with measurable impact.    AI becomes a growth engine when it sits on top of simple process, clean data, and a plan your team can follow. Start inside your business. Automate what you can. Deploy AI where it makes a dent in time and quality. Use AI to make sales and marketing consistent so that your calendar fills with qualified meetings. Become your own best Copilot case study, sell the readiness assessment, deliver the remediation, and lead a visible 30-day pilot that wins hearts and minds. Keep going with an acceleration pack that keeps adoption rising every week. That is the path to scale with confidence.  You can connect with Fiona Challis on her LinkedIn HERE.  Make sure to check out our Ultimate MSP Growth Guide, a free guide that walks you through a proven process to take your MSP from stuck to scalable, without working even more hours.

Most people fail with money because they're stuck in extremes. Underwhelmed by the same old advice like "save more, spend less, lock it away and hope compound interest saves the day." The truth is simple: You are the asset. Your ability to create value is the greatest investment you'll ever have. This episode breaks down Garrett Gunderson's framework for the six money moves that actually matter. Stop locking money away in qualified plans. Stop self-insuring when you should transfer risk. Stop overpaying taxes as a W-2 employee with only 8 deductions when business owners access 475. Focus on cash flow assets that let you live today while building wealth for tomorrow. The penalty for following broken financial philosophies is permanent, but aligning your plan with who you are brings freedom sooner than you think.Chapters:00:25 - Opening Segment04:55 - Why most people fail with money06:35 - You are the greatest asset08:15 - The underwhelming advice: save, spend less, lock it away10:35 - Spend less is capped - grow yourself as an asset instead14:50 - Overwhelmed by conflicting tips19:05 - Teaching value creation20:20 - Step 1: Automate and build liquidity with whole life23:20 - Daily burn rate calculation method (263 days liquidity example)26:50 - Step 2: Transfer risk, don't self-insure29:05 - Pacific Palisades fires: Self-insurance myth exposed33:15 - Step 3: Estate and entity structure (trusts vs wills)39:35 - Step 4: Stop tipping the government41:05 - 8 deductions vs 475: W-2 employees vs business owners43:55 - Sourdough bread business example45:50 - Step 5: Invest in alignment with your investor DNA46:25 - Get to vs have to - does it feel like noise?50:00 - Step 6: Focus on cash flow, not accumulation54:45 - Living today while building for tomorrow57:20 - Closing SegmentKey Takeaways:You are your greatest asset - ability to create value is the greatest investment you'll ever haveStandard advice (save more, spend less, hope for compound interest) keeps you brokeStep 1: Automate liquidity using whole life as emergency fund - calculate daily burn rate to know exact days of liquidityStep 2: Self-insurance is a myth - transfer catastrophic risk to insurance companies for pennies on the dollarStep 3: Get trust in place to avoid probate - if you don't have estate plan, government has one for youStep 4: W-2 employees have 8 tax deductions, business owners with EIN have 475 - create business entity nowStep 5: Invest in your investor DNA - ask "do I GET to do this or HAVE to do this?"Step 6: Focus on cash flow assets, not buy-and-hold accumulation in qualified plansGot Questions?

The hardest part of business development isn't effort, it's consistency. Most recruiters know what to do, but struggle to do it every day while juggling clients, candidates, and placements. You know you should be reaching out to prospects daily, but between managing active searches, candidate interviews, and client meetings, your pipeline suffers. The solution? Build automated systems that generate leads while you focus on conversations that close deals. Giorgio Zanella is a go-to-market engineer who's built hundreds of automation workflows for recruiters and founders. Working out of Clay's New York office, he's spent three years mastering the platform and helping recruitment professionals scale their outbound without losing the personal touch. In this behind-the-scenes episode of The Resilient Recruiter, we break down the exact infrastructure, tools, and strategies you need to automate your outbound without sacrificing personalization or sounding like spam. This isn't theory. Giorgio has analyzed thousands of campaigns and knows exactly what separates automation that works from automation that gets ignored. You'll learn why Clay.com has become the number one platform for scaling outreach, how to choose the right tools for email and LinkedIn automation, what infrastructure you actually need (domains, inboxes, and warming protocols), and how to achieve 3-5% response rates on cold email when most people can't break 1%. We cover the complete tech stack: Clay for workflow automation and data enrichment, Instantly for email sequencing, HeyReach for LinkedIn automation, and how these tools work together to create synchronized multichannel campaigns. You'll discover how Clay's "waterfall enrichment" replaces expensive tools like ZoomInfo (saving you $15K+ per year), why LinkedIn outreach gets higher response rates than email (and its hidden limitations), and how to build email infrastructure that protects your domain reputation while scaling to hundreds of sends per day. Giorgio shares the exact formula for safe, sustainable outreach: 3-4 alternate domains, 2 inboxes per domain, 12-15 emails per inbox per day, and the two-week warming process you can't skip. He explains why most recruiters wreck their deliverability by sending from their main domain, how to set up synchronized campaigns where email, LinkedIn, and phone calls happen in coordinated sequences, and why relevance (right person, right time, right message) beats volume every single time. You'll learn what "good" response rates actually look like (spoiler: they're lower than you think, but the ROI is massive), how to calculate return on investment for cold outreach campaigns, and why even a 1% response rate can generate huge returns when your infrastructure costs are minimal. Giorgio breaks down why personalization and timing are more important than blast volume, how to track real-time signals like job changes and promotions to time your outreach perfectly, and the practical first steps to start automating your business development this month. This episode is part of our new course, Automate Your Outreach: How to Generate Client Leads Daily on Autopilot, a four-week implementation program where Mark and Giorgio guide you step-by-step through building your own automation system. Whether you're a solo recruiter trying to scale or an agency owner looking to systematize business development across your team, this conversation gives you the blueprint. Episode highlights: • [00:50] Introducing Giorgio Zanella and the vision behind the "Automate Your Outreach" program • [03:30] What is Clay and why recruiters are using it to automate lead generation • [07:35] The tech stack you actually need: Clay, Instantly, HeyReach (and what to skip) • [12:20] How to replace expensive data tools like ZoomInfo with Clay's "waterfall enrichment" • [18:40] Email vs. LinkedIn outreach: which gets more replies and why • [23:25] How to run synchronized multichannel campaigns (email + LinkedIn + phone) • [31:30] Why personalization and timing beat volume every time • [40:55] Building a bulletproof email infrastructure (domains, inboxes, warm-up rules) • [52:00] What "good" reply rates look like and how to calculate ROI on outreach • [1:10:00] Practical first steps to start automating your BD this month For more information or to register for the Automate Your Outreach course, visit recruitmentcoach.com/automate Get your FREE 30-minute strategy call: http://www.recruitmentcoach.com/strategy-session/ Connect with Giorgio Zanella on LinkedIn Subscribe to The Resilient Recruiter on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Jason Wright is a speaker, author, entrepreneur, real estate investor, and digital marketing architect known for designing intelligent AI agents and automation solutions for business owners. After starting as a teenage lawn care entrepreneur and enduring a tumultuous journey through corporate HR, sales, and safety roles, Jason carved his own path by embracing the ups and downs of self-employment. Today, he runs Intentionally Inspirational, specializing in AI-driven marketing and automation for real estate investors and fellow entrepreneurs, helping them scale efficiently while keeping a sense of humor and authenticity at the forefront. How humble beginnings (mowing lawns for fishing tackle) sparked Jason's entrepreneurial bug—and why he rebelled against the "get a degree, find a boss" script.​ The struggle of his first business launch, running out of money, and being forced to ask family for support—and why hitting bottom forged business resilience.​ Pivots through jobs (cars, mortgages, publishing), freelancing on Upwork, and finally building a niche business serving real estate investors with automated marketing solutions.​ The essential mindset shifts: the world doesn't owe you anything, ego means nothing, and success requires adapting to rejection and uncertainty.​ Why discipline, over motivation, is key to entrepreneurship—and how the habit of working through difficult periods produces long-term results.​ Jason's advice for leveraging AI now, niching down, and automating the parts of business that drain your energy.​ Top 3 Takeaways You must earn your entrepreneurial credibility through setbacks, pivots, and doing the grunt work—even without recognition or immediate financial reward.​ Automate, outsource, and delegate aggressively; focus only on the work that maximizes your unique value and happiness.​ Embrace failure as a necessary precursor to growth—your timeline is unpredictable, and your highlight reel will be built on low points.​ Notable Quotes "The world doesn't owe you anything. Your ego doesn't mean anything in the entrepreneurial world."​ "Motivation is not required to get things done—even if you're not motivated, do it anyway."​ "Most business owners overestimate the value of their time, and underestimate the importance of discipline and automation."​ Connect with Jason Wright: Website: intentionallyinspirational.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Send us a textReady to break free from endless to-do lists that never seem to get shorter? Discover the exact productivity system that transformed my workflow and doubled my output without increasing my working hours.Most productivity advice falls flat because it focuses on cramming more tasks into your day rather than optimizing how you work. Through years of experimentation, I've developed a three-part system that works with your natural energy patterns instead of against them.The Power Block Method revolutionizes your schedule by recognizing that different types of work—administrative, creative, and strategic—should be performed during specific times based on your energy levels. By mapping my creative work to mornings when I'm freshest and saving administrative tasks for late afternoon, I immediately saw a dramatic improvement in both quality and efficiency.Next, the EAD Framework (Eliminate, Automate, Delegate) systematically removes low-value activities from your plate. I share specific examples of how eliminating unnecessary client communications, automating scheduling processes, and delegating podcast production tasks freed up hours each week for high-impact work. The moment I realized someone else could edit my content at 80% of my capability was the moment I reclaimed control of my calendar.Perhaps most powerful is the 80-20 Focus Principle, revealing that just 4% of your efforts produce 96% of your results. I walk through how identifying my highest-leverage activities led me to close an underperforming coaching group and redirect that energy toward opportunities that required less time while generating significantly more income.What would you do with twice the productivity? Whether you're looking to scale your business, spend more time with family, or pursue creative passions, this system provides the framework to make it happen.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik speaks with Kelly Lorenzen—award-winning entrepreneur and CEO of KLM Consulting—about sustainable entrepreneurship. Kelly unpacks practical systems for avoiding burnout, her CODA method for delegation, the role of community, and why health must sit at the center of every founder's strategy. She also shares how navigating breast cancer clarified her definition of success and pushed her to create businesses that serve life, not consume it. This focused conversation gives founders concrete steps to reclaim time, protect well-being, and scale with intention.   About the guest  : Kelly Lorenzen is the CEO of KLM Consulting (DuplicateMyselfKLM.com), a marketing and management firm helping small businesses grow sustainably. With 20+ years of ownership experience, a degree in Entrepreneurship & Communications from Arizona State, and a PMP certification, Kelly is a breast-cancer survivor, philanthropist, and mentor committed to founder health, community, and systems that scale.   Key takeaways: Resilience is built, not born: repetitive “recover and re-tool” cycles created capacity to withstand shocks. Mindset interrupt: quickly redirect negative spirals to neutral or positive action to prevent cognitive tailspins during crises. CODA for workload clarity:K = Keep only tasks only you can do; O = Outsource expert work (tax, marketing); D = Delegate five- to ten-minute tasks; A = Automate repeatables. Health first, always: preventive care and daily self-care are strategic levers, not luxuries. Community is a safety net: mentors, peers, and teams function like “insurance” when life hits. Redefine success: choose wise ambition—business should sustain your life, not replace it. Service fuels leadership: philanthropy and giving back restore meaning and reduce isolation. Practical next steps: brain-dump tasks, tag with CODA, book your overdue health check, and schedule one weekly connection that isn't about sales.   Connect with the guest   LinkedIn: Kelly Lorenzen Website: https://duplicatemyselfklm.com/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
