More About The Powered AF Show:
My vision in creating Powered AF was to create a space where we can share the stories, strategies and lessons on how you pushed past fear, overcame adversity, and imposter syndromes to achieve the highest levels of success in business and in life.
I feel that by hearing real, raw conversations from visionaries and some of the top producers in the entrepreneurial and digital space, other entrepreneurs will be encouraged to step out of fear and into action -- and have the tools to do so.
