For the first time in 92 episodes, I’m turning the tables and having my good friend, Laura Leigh Clarke, interview me.

One of my most memorable podcast interviews was with Laura Leigh Clarke, Founder of ProsperityQM. Whenever we talk, our conversation naturally spins into high gear as Laura has a knack for getting me to discuss the things I’m most excited about.

In this conversation, Laura quickly gets me going on the topics of adventure, experimentation and shifting your energy. More than anything, this is a fun discussion that will remind you to focus on creating the business that you really want as well as some mindset + strategy on raising your rates and growing your business.

I hope you enjoy the new twist in the show format this week. It was a lot of fun being on the other side of the interview.
