    Don't Give Into Fear! Help, Help, Help!
    Apr 21 2020
    With all that is going on in the world, there is a ton of fear and frustration. This week I talk about mental health and the notion of supporting others through helping! You can help through writing recommendations on LinkedIn and/or endorsing skills! You can also send someone coffee & hop on a video chat! eGift cards are easy to send & $10 for Starbucks might be everything to someone. This and much more on this week's podcast.
