Episode 107 features Ashley Olafsen, Founder of Visionaria Consulting, which supports small businesses through consulting services. I met Ashley through the Next Gen HQ community and was inspired by her story to start M.O.V.E. when she was 16 and then continue on with her entrepreneurship journey in starting Visionaria Consulting.

Here is a link to the book she recommends that she always goes back to:

“When Things Fall Apart” by Pema Chodron – https://www.amazon.com/When-Things-Fall-Apart-Difficult/dp/1611803438
