Following on from last week's show on the history of Musk, Karen is here to tell you all about the synthetic musks. First developed by accident in the 1930s, synthetic musks have evolved through many different variations, each one advancing from what has come before. In this episode, Karen gives you a full and comprehensive overview of the history of synthetic musk, how they changed the perfume industry, and the musks that you should have in your toolbox.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Nitro Musks were the first synthetic musks, discovered in the late 1880s by accident. Karen gives you the history of this fascinating discovery and how it changed perfume-making.  In the 1930s, macrocyclic musks were developed as a safer and more elegant alternative to nitro musks. Karen details their history, the perfumes that pioneered them, and the impact they had.  Polycyclic musks were developed in the 1950s with the intention of being lower-cost and more commercial. Karen explains how they brought musk into the mainstream, including the Body Shop's ‘White Musk'. Due to biodegradability issues of polycyclic musk, alicyclic musks were developed in the 1970s. Karen explains why they were created and how they burst into popularity in the 1990s. BEST MOMENTS  “Musks are often more of a feeling than they are a specific smell.” “Musks change when they interact with other materials, so don't just smell them on a strip, use them.” “If you've ever smelt laundry and thought ‘that smells clean', that's a polycyclic musk.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Materials Mastery Studio Classes  Getting Started Guide              Artisan Perfumery Mastermind   ABOUT THE HOST Fragrance expert, author, teacher and speaker; Karen Gilbert runs courses in the UK and online which demystify the secretive world of perfumery in a fun and interactive way.  Karen has inspired thousands of students to explore their olfactory sense and create their own personalised fragrances.   With extensive product development experience in both the commercial perfumery and the organic skincare industry, Karen is able to offer a unique insight into creating natural and mixed media fragrances for fine fragrance, room scents and skincare/bodycare products using commercial perfumery techniques. Karen is also a certified meditation teacher and has a passion for helping people to create daily rituals that integrate scent with other modalities to shift state and increase your sense of wellbeing.   CONTACT DETAILS Website Instagram Facebook YouTube Email This Podcast has been brought to you by Disruptive Media. https://disruptivemedia.co.uk/

Hui Jing's life reads like a TVB drama.Her mum was forced to be the sole provider for the family after her dad landed them in bad debt. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Hui Jing understood the importance of money & joined the work force young - at the below-legal age of 15 - for a mediocre RM4/hour.It wasn't easy.But it kickstarted a series of jobs that saw her go from working as at McDonald's to The Body Shop to becoming a finalist for the Red Bull Female Driver Search in 2009 (they were offering a cash prize) to becoming an insurance agent (where she learned the joys of passive income) to joining a radio station as a road runner and finally…Co-founding one of Malaysia's fastest growing local convenience store chains, Bila-Bila Mart.Which is on track to hit a whooping RM150+ million in revenue & 100 stores by the end of 2025, with an IPO on the horizon!Not bad for a Brickfields girl who was once kidnapped & held ransom due to bad family debts. If there's one thing that clearly stands out about Hui Jing's story, it's this: Taking riskDuring the interview, she spoke of how:“Throwing everything outta the window (i.e. leaving corporate) sounded like an adventure. I wanted that adventure. Because I was just thinking, okay, now I have no commitments. I don't have a family… If I don't do it, if I don't risk it, I don't really see how is the world outside, when am I gonna do it?”That said, life hasn't been without its challenges.Once at a bar, she was told, “Jing, you talk too much as a female. Can you shut up?”And also advised to stop working and to “ask your husband to feed you.”Needless to say, that lit a fire in Hui Jing that led to the founding of Bila-Bila Mart, where she also spoke about:✨ How Dettol saved Bila-Bila Mart (they opened their first physical store during MCO)✨ Their first breakthrough (pivoting from the idea of selling hot food → kedai runcit model)✨ The process for local SMEs getting their items into Bila-Bila Mart✨ Dealing with chauvinistic men who question Jing's very young team✨ Why you are the decision maker of your own fateDon't forget to subscribe for future STIMY episodes!Special thanks to Bila-Bila Mart for sponsoring this episode.

This week, Karen is introducing the first in a two-part series on musk. Musk started life as one of the most prestigious materials in the world of perfumery and was often associated with nobility and power. However, over the years, it has constantly evolved and, today, is seen as one of the most common and well-known materials in all of perfumery. In this episode, Karen takes you on a journey from the beginnings of musk to its place in the modern-day world and how it has shaped both perfumery and culture over hundreds of years. KEY TAKEAWAYS Musk has a long and fascinating history. Karen takes us through it from its origins in central Asia to its everyday use today. Historically, musk was sourced from the glands of male deer; however, as the species became endangered, the material could no longer be sourced from the animal. In 1888, Albert Baur made a discovery that changed musk forever. In the 1970s, a number of fragrances entered the market that changed musk to a much more accessible product. Karen explains how and why. By the late 1980s, musk was mainstream, in large part due to the Body Shop's ‘White Musk'. Karen breaks down how this shift affected the perfume industry and people's perception of musk. BEST MOMENTS “Over the years, musk has gone from one of the most expensive materials you can buy to one of the most common synthetics in the world.” “Musk moved from a sexy smell of desire to one of laundry and light, airiness.” “Musk feeds that need we have for comfort, especially when the world outside is a much more intense and scary place.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Materials Mastery Studio Classes Getting Started Guide Artisan Perfumery Mastermind  ABOUT THE HOST Fragrance expert, author, teacher and speaker; Karen Gilbert runs courses in the UK and online which demystify the secretive world of perfumery in a fun and interactive way.

This week's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast introduces a three-week series dedicated to beauty packaging. Despite daily interacting with beauty products — including face wash, body wash, lipstick or shampoo — consumers rarely spend time thinking about the countless decisions that go into a brand's packaging. From sustainability (Are refills offered? Is the plastic PCR?) to color (think: the pull of millennial pink) to font, every packaging element is carefully considered. As our first guest in the series, FIT Professor Sebba Alqetrani, said, “The first thing the consumer sees, touches and interacts with is the package. [It] is your first opportunity to have a first impression.” Over the next two weeks, we will explore just why packaging is so important and what factors can make it impactful, whether it has to do with a product's efficacy, branding or deeper emotional resonance. But first, a look at some of this week's headlines including the launch of Ulta Beauty's UB Marketplace, a curated third-party marketplace that will allow the mega beauty retailer to integrate many new brands into its existing e-commerce site; Sephora's growth, bolstered in part by Rhode's buzzy launch, according to LVMH's recent earnings; and The Body Shop's return to U.S. sales , launching online through a direct-to-consumer site and Amazon.

In this week's Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and ClearDemand, Chris and Anne discussed: Walmart opening an auto-care center of the future Kroger using DashMart's for online delivery Walmart partnering with Wiliot to improve inventory tracking The big 3 third-party grocery and food delivery marketplaces – DoorDash, Instacart, and Uber Eats – teaming up with ChatGPT Amazon's new in-office prescription kiosks at One Medical locations And Nick Matthews, Wiliot's Vice President of Solutions and Architecture, will be joining the show soon to provide more details about Walmart's massive Bluetooth sensor rollout. There's all that, plus The Body Shop's return, The Running Man sequel, JP Morgan's $3 billion office tower, and whether Chris dreams of having his own executive washroom. P.S.

La sostenibilidad del parque, la IA, el recambio y el VO como elementos clave para la rentabilidad protagonizan IBIS Iberia 2025 - 530 profesionales asisten a la tercera edición de un evento que reúne a los protagonistas del negocio de la posventa de automoción - IBIS Iberia se consolida como foro de referencia para el sector en España y Portugal CESVIMAP e IBIS Worldwide han celebrado los días 15 y 16 de septiembre de 2025 la tercera edición de IBIS Iberia, la conferencia internacional que reúne a los protagonistas del negocio de la reparación de automóviles en el mercado ibérico. Bajo el lema “Dando forma al futuro: liderazgo desde la colaboración”, IBIS Iberia 2025 ha sido foro de reflexión y avance, abordando los grandes retos que enfrenta el sector: la rentabilidad y la eficiencia, la sostenibilidad, la irrupción de la inteligencia artificial, el vehículo de ocasión y el papel del recambio. Tras dos ediciones récord, IBIS Iberia ha regresado al Centro de Congresos Lienzo Norte de Ávila con una agenda repleta de conocimiento, liderazgo intelectual y debates de vanguardia. CESVIMAP, el centro tecnológico y de innovación de MAPFRE, e IBIS, proveedor de conferencias sobre el mercado de reparación a nivel mundial, apuestan por la transformación y la colaboración como motores de éxito. La jornada IBIS Iberia 2025 planteó seis sesiones temáticas, que abordaron las principales preocupaciones y oportunidades del sector: 1. Transformación del ecosistema aseguradora-taller-recambios El seguro es un pilar en la actividad del taller. Se analizaron las tendencias del ramo en España y Portugal, la relación entre aseguradoras y proveedores y el impacto de las tecnologías en los costes de reparación. Participaron Pablo Jiménez Villa (ICEA), Francisco Javier Cobos (MAPFRE), Luis Ursúa (CETRAA), Rodrigo Ferreira da Silva (ARAN) y Carlos Martín (ANCERA). En cifras de ICEA, la situación del mercado automovilístico ha mejorado respecto a años anteriores, abriéndose camino el vehículo electrificado. Si bien España está en el top 5 de la UE en 2024 en matriculaciones, con un 8,1% (cifras globales), en turismos, aun siendo positiva la cuota de matriculación, está por debajo de la media de la UE. 2. Sostenibilidad y excelencia operativa en los talleres La sostenibilidad se convierte en una palanca de rentabilidad. Se abordaron prácticas como el uso de recambio eco, la eficiencia energética y la necesidad de adquirir formación en procesos sostenibles. Intervinieron José Luis Gata (Solera), Gonzalo Pinto (Desguaces El Choque), Arantxa Hernando (ARVAL), Vicente Loustao (Stellantis&You) y Francisco Villacañas (3M). En su ponencia, Solera desveló la previsión del parque de automóviles a 2035, con apuntes significativos: - Menos del 8% del parque tiene una connotación sostenible (phev, hev, gas…). - Los coches de más de 15 años triplican a los jóvenes y, en 2035, la mitad del parque tendrá más de 15 años. De hecho, los vehículos van a desguace con 21 años, 5 más que hace una década. - La facturación de los recambios crecerá un 47% en 10 años. Actualmente, el 5% del mercado del recambio es eco, que puede ser aplicable al 20% de las reparaciones (con un coste medio de este recambio inferior, en un 55% al OEM). En este sentido, posteriormente en la mesa de debate se compartieron los beneficios que puede aportan los distintos tipos de recambios, con los que se podría reparar gran parte de un parque de automóviles envejecido y facilitar un servicio 360 al cliente. Se postula como herramienta clave para la rentabilidad para el taller. También se abordó en el debate la necesidad de formación específica para afrontar el Smart repair, que requiere procesos y medios específicos que den una respuesta rápida y de calidad al cliente. Y se adelantó la certificación de estos procesos como el próximo gran reto. En materia de sostenibilidad, ésta pasa, en primer lugar, por la rentabilidad del taller, por lo que es preciso apostar por procesos eficientes y por la eficiencia operativa. 3. Nuevos modelos de uso del vehículo y del negocio posventa España es el país con mayor número de empresas de suscripción, posicionándose como líder europeo. El modelo de suscripción y el “mobility as a service” abren nuevas oportunidades para el taller. En este contexto, surgen nuevos programas de garantías y soluciones aseguradoras específicas, así como programas de servicio, mantenimiento y reparación adaptados. Participaron José Martín Castro (AER), Gerardo Bermejo (Europcar), José Ignacio Moya (FACONAUTO), Juan Manuel Rubio (Mondo Car) y Carlos Fernández Ramos (Enterprise Mobility) Según informa AER, España lidera en Europa la intención de abandonar el coche en propiedad. De hecho, ya el 14% de los hogares españoles han renunciado a coche o motocicleta en propiedad. El modelo de suscripción de vehículos es uno de los servicios de movilidad más activos actualmente, sobre todo en menores de 36 años de entornos urbanos. En la mesa de debate se presenta el ejemplo de Mondocar, la única plataforma creada por concesionarios para concesionarios. Su aparición contribuye al rejuvenecimiento del parque de vehículos y promueve la suscripción a vehículos híbridos y eléctricos. Sus clientes buscan movilidad sin ataduras ni cuotas a través de un servicio 100% digital. Europcar, empresa de movilidad per se, desde su creación hace 75 años, comparte con el auditorio las líneas básicas de un negocio nacido para hacer la vida más fácil a todos los participantes de este sector. Europcar se enfoca hacia la solución, ofreciendo desde alquileres tradicionales hasta períodos de larga duración. Enterprise apuesta por ayudar al taller con fórmulas rentables y sostenibles. Para Enterprise, la movilidad es una experiencia en la que hay gustos para todos, y las nuevas opciones multiplican las experiencias de movilidad. Que haya nuevas opciones, afirman, nos animan a innovar, porque los clientes están pidiendo cosas nuevas. Faconauto apuesta por aprovechar este nuevo ecosistema con diversos usos del vehículo para alargar y afianzar la relación del concesionario con el cliente. El valor de la posventa es clave: actualmente, el combo posventa + recambios, siendo el 16% de la facturación, supone el 47% de los beneficios del taller. 4. El vehículo usado como motor de crecimiento del aftermarket El V.O. se consolida como un negocio estratégico, con previsiones de más de 2,2 millones de unidades en 2025. Se debatió su impacto en concesionarios, talleres y fabricantes. Las operaciones de acondicionamiento y remarketing llegarán a representar un volumen de negocio significativo, pudiendo convertirse en un negocio lucrativo. Intervinieron Jaime Barea (GANVAM), Fernando Rodríguez (OcasiónPlus), José Antonio Baeza (Renault Retail Group) y Marcel Blanes (Adevinta). En su exposición, Barea puso el foco en la profesionalización del sector del reacondicionamiento y en la necesidad de invertir en este negocio para atraer al particular. Para Fernando Rodríguez, las claves del éxito en este negocio son la confianza y la transparencia. Como para José Antonio Baeza, que entiende que la relación con el cliente en posventa es clave, enfocando sus esfuerzos a fidelizar al cliente. En referencia al particular que compra V.O., Blanes traslada al auditorio datos reales de las tendencias del usuario. Si bien es cierto que busca vehículos con menos de 5 años de antigüedad y, preferentemente, híbridos o eléctricos, la realidad conduce a vehículos diésel de más de 10 años. También la intención del particular es comprar a profesional, aunque luego la realidad sea otra. 5. La inteligencia artificial como motor de cambio en el sector de la posventa y la reparación La IA ya transforma la reparación de siniestros. Se presentaron casos reales de automatización de procesos y soluciones de peritación inteligente. Intervinieron Ramón Antelo (Capgemini), Andrés Morote (Assured Europe), Jaime Silvela (Solera España), Diego Bodas (MAPFRE) y Lucía Bonilla (Bonilla Motor). En esta sesión se planteó la aplicación de IA como palanca para mejorar la experiencia del cliente e incrementar la eficiencia del taller. Destacando que la IA ha llegado para acompañar, siendo el aporte humano fundamental. 6. El recambio como pilar económico clave para los talleres El recambio es clave para la rentabilidad del taller. La cadena de la distribución se está concentrando y de su estrategia y servicios adicionales a la entrega del recambio dependerán cuestiones como la contención o reducción de costes para el taller, la optimización de tiempos o la eficiencia del proceso productivo. Participaron Fernando López (GiPA), Joan Solans (VW Group), Juan Carlos Martín Rivas (AD Parts), Nines García de la Fuente (GAUIb) y Fernando Montes (Solvd). En los mensajes objeto de debate fueron protagonistas los conceptos ‘precio' y ‘rentabilidad', que ponen en duda la sostenibilidad del modelo actual, estableciendo una comparación del negocio nacional con el europeo. Tanta importancia tiene el recambio para el taller que, sin el negocio que genera, los talleres tendrían dificultades para su continuidad. El evento IBIS Iberia 2025 se inició con una recepción de bienvenida el 15 de septiembre en Sofraga Palacio. Las conferencias se desarrollaron el 16 de septiembre en el Centro de Congresos Lienzo Norte, Ávila.

The result is transformational.In this weeks' episode, Bill Park shares his remarkable journey through the collision repair industry and how his biggest discoveries weren't about paint or production—but about money. Along the way, Bill identified a critical gap in financial management that most shop owners face: relying on CPAs who focus on tax filing, not strategic financial management.Bill introduces his solution: Crunchit Financial Services, a “white glove” approach designed specifically for collision repair businesses. Using a financial blueprint process—similar to blueprinting a repair—he shows how to align management systems with accounting systems, ensure daily reconciliation of transactions, and build an accrual-based accounting structure that delivers accurate, timely insights.Bill also pulls back the curtain on tax optimization strategies that most shops miss—structuring finances in ways that can save tens or even hundreds of thousands annually. This isn't about complicated spreadsheets—it's about creating financial freedom by putting the right systems in place.5 Key Takeaways:Financial strength starts with systems: management and accounting must be aligned.Most CPAs miss opportunities because they only focus on filing taxes.Daily reconciliation creates accuracy and confidence in your numbers.Accrual-based accounting gives shop owners better insights than cash-based methods.Tax optimization can unlock huge savings and directly fuel profitability.If you're ready to run your shop with confidence, clarity, and the freedom that comes from perfect financials… join us this episode and let this be your roadmap to financial freedom!GUEST CONTACTBill Park - billpark8@me.comCrunchit Financial Services – https://www.crunchitfs.com/LinkedIn – https://tinyurl.com/499zeephSupport the showJoin our Mind Wrench mailing list!

Many business leaders craft successful companies but only a few elevate that to the level of a masterpiece. What is it about some companies and leaders that allows them to achieve this status? How does the vision of ‘the good life' differ across corporations, large and small?Charles Spinosa is a management consultant and the author of several books. His latest book is called Leadership as Masterpiece Creation: What Business Leaders Can Learn from the Humanities about Moral Risk-Taking.Greg and Charles discuss Charles's vision of business leaders as artists and creators who shape organizations into masterpieces, rooted deeply in humanities and philosophy. The conversation covers various business leaders, including Jeff Bezos, and how their leadership styles create distinctive moral orders within their companies. Charles connects principles from Shakespeare, Nietzsche, and Machiavelli to modern business practices and explains how leaders can cultivate courage and virtue within their organizations. They also explore the differences between founders and inheritors of businesses, the role of leaders in shaping corporate culture, and the implications for leadership education.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The three questions behind masterpiece leadership18:05: My three questions are: What always goes wrong here? That tends to be an easy question for 80% of them to answer. What would you love to do instead? That is the hard question. That is the one you think is easy, but what would you love to do instead? That is hard because these men and women are geniuses at managing around what always goes wrong. They have been rewarded for managing around it, and they are good at it. And then, once we can get to “What would you love?”—what risks do you need to take to do what you would love? And that is where we begin to work out the kinds of risks, the hard risks they are going to take. Because when they make these changes, if they do not succeed, they are going to be seen as not just foolish, but actually evil. They have gone out and harmed people in careers and so forth. So we have to figure out those, and then we have to put them in a kind of strategic order. But that is, in short, my masterpiece-building strategy. Leadership as a moral masterpiece03:10: Masterpieces are not just attractive and compelling aesthetically. Masterpieces give us a distinct new way to live that we consider a good life. They are moral masterpieces, and they are morally distinctive.Cultivating courage in organizations42:34: It is not that hard to build a company that cultivates courage. When you realize that part of courage is realizing that you figure what you think is right, and then you compose a way for people to hear it.Why leadership calls for admiration22:15: I can admire Google, and I can admire Amazon. A lot of people cannot. I have had people walk out on me when I say that about Amazon. But choose another company—choose The Body Shop, choose Zuckerberg's company, Meta—quite different from Amazon. Again, if we can admire different companies, we do not have to embrace everything we admire, and that gives us a sense of different good lives that we can admire. And I want that to be the virtue that we develop, which is a step above tolerance. I mean, really, with tolerance, which is the modern virtue for dealing with difference, we tolerate things that are different that we cannot eliminate. They are too powerful. We do not consider them quite as good. We tolerate them, but it is never a happy tolerance.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Friedrich NietzscheJeff BezosWilliam ShakespeareOthelloIagoHamletJack WelchMartin HeideggerLorenzo ZambranoJames C.

Daniel Gardner is operational finance business partner at FirstGroup Plc, a leading UK-based provider of public transport. Daniel brings a unique perspective shaped by a diverse finance career across iconic consumer brands like L'Oreal, the Body Shop and Hunter Boots, where he led major forecasting overhauls and drove commercial transformation. Now at First Group, he is leading the development of a cloud-based forecasting system for a billion pound division, working with more than 50 stakeholders to deliver scalable real-time insights.  In this episode he talks about the power of “systems thinking” in the CFO's Office as a way of understanding how different parts of an organization (or any complex system) interconnect and influence each other.”If there's an area, I'd say that FP&A could do with its systems thinking. Structure makes behavior and behavior makes structure. So it travels in a loop, which means that to make changes in an organization, you either have to hire people who do not exhibit the behaviors naturally or you've got to change the structure and alter the incentives that are producing the problems.” In this episode: Bringing my philosophy-training to finance  Six week finance transformation at Hunter Boots  Getting from lagging to leading indicators  99% of People Problems Are Really System Problems Python+ Excel (practical examples)

This is a Fan Fav episode. The Body Shop launched a global report this year that revealed 60% of women wish they had more respect for themselves. This study is shining light on a self-love crisis. Sexuality, economic status, age, and time on social media were all factors that seem to impact how people felt about themselves and their ability to love themselves. In this episode, we have 7 powerful women who understand the pain of being in a mental space that doesn't make you feel confident or much like a badass. The throughline here seems to be that self love requires you to take the time to get to know yourself.

Send us a textEpisode Notes: In this short, but valuable episode of Mind Wrench, we dive into the power of resilience as the key differentiator between success and struggle in both business and life. Resilience is the invisible backbone of achievement, enabling individuals to bounce back from adversity swiftly and maintain focus. Author & keynote speaker Brian Tracy shares his powerful insights, the concept of "mental rehearsal" – a technique that prepares you emotionally for inevitable challenges before they arrive. Tracy's straightforward wisdom reminds us that "all of life is a continuous series of problems" interrupted only by occasional crises, a perspective that helps reframe our approach to difficulties, like we experience daily in the collision business, right? Rather than being derailed by setbacks, truly resilient people immediately shift to solution-focused thinking.  In addition, we share Tracy's "mind storming" technique, also known as the "20 idea method," is highlighted as a transformative tool for financial success. By writing down 20 potential solutions to a specific goal, individuals are pushed beyond obvious answers, often leading to breakthrough insights. This simple yet powerful exercise encourages creative thinking and problem-solving.By adopting these strategies, shop owners can enhance their ability to handle setbacks, drive business success, and achieve personal growth. Tune in to strengthen your resilience and transform your approach to life's inevitable challenges. More from Brian TracyLink to YouTube talk: Secrets of Self Made Millionaires by Brian Tracy Sign up for FREE to my "Quote of the Day" below: https://tinyurl.com/fv5xr68hSupport the showJoin our Mind Wrench mailing list!

Send us a textEpisode Notes: The difference between a good collision repair shop and a truly exceptional one often boils down to one critical factor: how people feel when they interact with your business. Join us this week as Sheryl Driggers, former MSO owner and now lead CSR trainer for Mike Anderson's elite Spartan Groups, reveals the science and strategy behind creating meaningful connections that transform both customer experience and employee satisfaction.Here are three effective actions collision shop leaders can take from Sheryl's insights:Cultivate a Positive Environment: Focus on creating a positive workplace atmosphere. Encourage a culture where positivity is the norm, as it enhances decision-making, creativity, and productivity. This can be achieved by recognizing and celebrating small wins, offering support, and fostering open communication among team members.Enhance Emotional Connections: Train your staff to prioritize emotional intelligence in customer interactions. Encourage them to go beyond standard service protocols by making customers feel valued and understood. Simple gestures like personalized follow-ups or remembering customer preferences can create memorable experiences that enhance customer loyalty.Implement the "One Degree" Concept: Encourage your team to consistently perform small, thoughtful actions that exceed customer expectations. This could include personalized thank-you notes, unexpected discounts, or simply going the extra mile in service delivery. These minor enhancements can significantly impact customer satisfaction and lead to increased referrals and repeat business.Taking these actions, rooted in positive human interactions, can transform both your customer service and employee engagement, driving long-term success for your business! GUEST CONTACTSheryl Driggers - sheryl@collisionadvice.comCollisionAdvice – www.collisionadvice.comShawn Achor Ted Talk: https://youtu.be/GXy__kBVq1M?si=robDiWbKpUVOTuaAThe Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: https://wSupport the showJoin our Mind Wrench mailing list!
