Today’s podcast is completely different than anything I have done in the past. Today, you get to listen in as my executive assistant, Tiffany Laughter-Twining, and my personal assistant, Adriane Allred, interview me. They’re asking me all the toughest, most personal questions come from you, O Constant Listener. I somehow suspect they slipped in a question or two of their own as well. Expect to be entertained and surprised.
