Changing What Power Sounds Like with Samara Bay
Welcome to Episode 16 of Forging Fortune, an inspirational podcast for leaders, liberators, and impact entrepreneurs from around the world. Today’s episode is all about shattering. Shattering the glass ceilings, the old ideals of our world, and creating anew. Today I am truly honored and downright giddy to welcome Samara Bay, dialect coach, podcast host, and author to the podcast.
