You see things differently than most. It’s likely you’ve got a “one-of-a-kind idea, that will not only spread like wildfire, but will also change minds, incite action, and leave a legacy you can be proud of” – Michelle Mazur.

Today’s episode is so much more than figuring out your elevator pitch. It’s all about getting to the root of what you believe in, why your business exists, and how to rebel against the status quo.
