30 Minutes with Workroom Tech
This podcast is sponsored by Workroom Tech. Susan Woodcock and I are thrilled to bring this to you every other week! We will release it on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. As in all podcasts, you can listen at your own convenience, and we hope you will subscribe to the podcast and then you will be notified every time a new podcast is available.
Our purpose with this new podcast is to bring you education, connection, and instruction. We will have links to videos, blogs and other resources if you want more information. Podcasting is not a visual medium, but it goes without saying that we are in a visual industry! So when an explanation isn’t enough, we will have a link to help you get more information.
Here is a link to a blog post about today's podcast.
