On this episode of "Get Started" on the StartMyBiz Podcast, I chat with Anita Chew a marketing and graphic design agency owner. This episode was pretty relaxed and felt like less of an interview and more of a conversation.

On this episode of "Get Started" on the StartMyBiz Podcast, I chat with Ruth Dorsainville a serial entrepreneur who was retired twice and got back into the game.
