In Case You Missed It
Last time, we had Jonathan Milligan, author of “Your Message Matters: How to Rise above the Noise and Get Paid for What You Know“. He’s also a speaker, blogger, online business coach, and he spent the last decade guiding and directing creative professionals on how to pursue meaningful work. Since 2009, Jonathan has run his own portable lifestyle business online. Today, he teaches others how to build a business with their passion, story, or their message. Listen and learn from Episode 86 here.
