I had an amazing time speaking with Danielle Desir creator of the WOC Podcasting Community. She will also be a speaker at the Money on the Mountain Financial Retreat for financially single women. I wanted to speak with Danielle about brand and community building for the Brand Building series that I’m sharing on the show.
