USE YOUR SUPERPOWER OF SUPPORT
Here’s your chance to use your superpower of support. Don’t rely on telepathy alone! If you’re enjoying the show, would you take two minutes and leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts? I’d also be willing to remove my cloak of invisibility from your inbox if you’d subscribe to the newsletter for superguest announcements and more, occasionally.

BEST ADVICE
It’s not what you say, but how you say it. If you have some bad news, don’t send an email, pick up the phone and call. With the texting and devices and get off my lawn, just pick up the phone. Be able to politely disagree, and show positivity whenever you can. Have a strong portfolio online. Keep on blogging and sharing what you know.
