Hint of Hustle with Heather Sager - Get More Out of Your Podcast Interviews with Christina Lenkowski
Transcript

So I'm going to find out who exactly that is. Because I'd rather get them on a smaller show full of those people as opposed to a giant show of people that don't give a crap what you have to say.
