https://youtu.be/0nvWBlvFWtI I’m really excited to share this interview I did with Shaunda Necole. She’s a woman I have known for about five years, who started out as the owner of a retail store at the mall. Remember the mall?  One of my favorite quotes from our interview is this one: “I found myself evolving with the times.” And her mall days morphed into an online business. Now, she teams up with businesses to promote their products and services to her audience. Does this sound like something you would like to do? Then listen to our conversation, where Shaunda breaks down the steps she takes to get in front of the people who need to hear from her.
