I met Traci at the SMBS Summit and she was kind enough to notice that I wasn’t talking to anyone, since I felt like such an imposter. She’s also been unflagging in her support every time I give her an update (or, more often, non-update) on my writing progress. Just hearing her voice again has inspired me to keep pushing. Terrific episode!
So happy to hear this! Glad you enjoyed it. We agree, Traci is great!
Bill, you are too kind! But you reminded me—I haven’t heard from you in a while. 😉
