The only thing I can control is how I show up.” - Matthew GouldWatch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7-ijkOyvv6oConnect with Matthew Gould:Website: https://www.moreco.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moreco.ca/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewgouldmoreco/ Connect with Wendi Swanson:Website: etymongroup.comLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/wendiswansonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557265653368 Email: [email protected] notes by Podcastologist: Angelo Paul TagamaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
