Weddings for Real

With finances, I still have blocks (listen to the intro) preventing me from fully feeling comfortable and empowered when it comes to things like tax planning, KPIs, and projections.

I’ve learned through conversations with wedding pros and my own real life experiences that overwhelm can lead to avoidance, so my goal is to make conversations like this one easy to digest and not something you run the other way while covering your ears.

Because as business owners, we really can’t do that. Fortunately, today’s guest Tatiana Podel is someone who explains everything in a way that anyone can understand.
