#7: Today I have my best friend Emily on the podcast! She is a member of Serve Scale Soar and got her start as an entrepreneur seven and a half years ago working with an MLM. In February of this year, she decided to try something different and started a business as a Pinterest manager. She quickly found out she loved building and designing funnels. On today’s episode, we will be discussing what it’s been like transitioning to this new business and the freedom she has been given now that she has her own online business.
