Shining through the Chaos
Three Days. A thousand entrepreneurs. One unforgettable experience.
That was the tagline for Ali Brown’s Shine event, held November 5-7 in Las Vegas, which I was privileged to attend after having won a scholarship by submitting a video about myself and my business. And for me it was an unforgettable and truly life-changing experience.
I was thrilled and honored to be chosen as one of
Reflections in a Coffee Mug
Okay, I admit it. I like to be appreciated.
