Welcome back to the Wealth Within Reach podcast, Season 3!

“If she could do it, I think I can do it, too. And so that’s the power of exposure, and it’s also the power of you telling your story. You have no idea who is watching you, what they’re going through, how your story can inspire them.” – Erika Brown
