This week's episode is a bit unique, because it's kind of like a history lesson. Briana came on the show wanting to talk about some of the legends in our industry and the lessons that she's so quickly learned from them.
She had some rough timing with the start of her business, but her philosophy of serving first helped her become a positive contributor to her community. She's such a joyful person and her spirit is contagious, so it's no wonder she's made such an impact.
We chat about integrity, efficiency, "doing things right", and tools and techniques developed by a few of the legends she and her team follow.
I also ask a few rapid-fire business questions to Bri, including one about my most recent curiosity: exit plans. I think they're not talked about enough in our industry and I appreciated Bri's willingness to share hers!
Also, this week's UGlu Hotline topic is all about insurance - why you should have it, when you might need it and where to look for it.
