    Came for my friend Liz Wilcox’s episode and stayed for more! Ben is such a wonderful host and has an amazing guest lineup, all with a wealth of experience and knowledge, super willing to share and support! 400+ podcast episodes is an incredible feat for anyone and that consistency and discipline is hard to find! Even if you go back to previous years, the topics are still incredibly relevant, so no matter what stage of life or stage of business you’re in, you’ll find something that resonates with you and your goals! @gloriachoupr
