You are about to experience a first for the podcast. I went on the road to Orlando to the Car Care Council’s Women’s Board Winter meeting. Going to a conference is not the earth shattering news. Bringing my recording equipment was.

This episode is a compilation of short interviews done in Orlando in early February 2016. These interviews were done randomly in a make shift mobile studio set up.

Why Listen?

The women interviewed, spoke on their experience at the meeting, their take-a-ways and of the value the agenda brought to them both personally and professionally.

Get a feel of the buzz that enveloped the participants and reactions to the value of networking.

Forgive the background noise as we were LIVE on site. The women’s board was very supportive in my quest to record these moments and thoughts of these twelve industry professionals. I thank the women’s board team and president Amy Mattinat for their support.
