If you want to you can buy me a coffee to say thanks and support the show., I won’t turn you down LOL.  I am not quite back to eqilibrium.   Practice asking for ways others can help you.  People genuinely want to help.  If they are more focused on what they can get - they aren’t your people.   Show up.  While it’s nice to be back in-person, it is equally as important to show up and listen.  Connections are not made by who you know, but how did you make them feel in your presence.   Call to Action:: Connect with or Follow any of the amazing entrepreneur and RV families.
