Want to laugh and be inspired today? Please meet two of my favorite people in the universe.
They’ll teach you about the beauty of miscommunication in dating, the making of a marriage in which one spouse often leaves the country, and why they let their unmarried friends be all up in their bizzzz-nass. Oh, and they’ll teach you about their actual business practices, social passions and facial-manicuring tricks.

I’ll be watching the whole thing of course, but STILL! I had to share it for other people to click on the awesomeness. 😉 ♥
Thank you Shawndra!
Oh my goodness! I just watched her Plywood presentation and WOW! I guess I grew up in too much of a bubble. I had no idea how much inequality still existed. Also, this interview was awesome. All of your interviews have been awesome. I have learned so much from you and your friends this year. These two are inspirational. Their business model is inspiring.
This is so encouraging Nathan! I hope you share with people who also may need to hear about some of these truths. As men and women I think we both need to recognize the areas in which we can build each other up and never under estimate the power we have to empower one another. So glad you enjoyed. More interviews coming soon!
Corinne thinks...
This was great, Joy!
