Motor City Hdj Podcast

Today's episode is a change of pace from the typical conversation with other vendors. I wanted to highlight one of the amazing fundraising/awareness organizations I continue to work with and fight alongside. I had such a great time chatting with Nicole about their annual event Walk to End Alzheimer's and the many facets to what this group does.

I'm so happy that the first interview of 2021 is with my pal Kara Zummer. Our first time working together professionally was at a brewery (more on that in the episode) and now she's bringing the sweets to everyone who calls on her. We talk about our origins working together, how she got her start, what she's up to, and our unhealthy obsession with "The Office."This podcast is always sponsored by E2iDesign.
