I'm Heather Woods, and in episode 1 I talk about why I'm doing this podcast, why I started my own business and how I had my passport confiscated in Prague. I can't even remember how many times I've said to myself "Damn, I wish I knew that sooner." And that's really where the idea for this podcast started. Sharing personal stories to help people get smarter, quicker. Do you know someone that has an inspiring story? Maybe you know something that could really help someone else? I want guests!
