Hi, my name is tena and I talk... a lot. So I figured I may as well put these vocal chords to good use. This isn't my first podcast but it just might be my last. See, my passions are probably not unlike yours - they are plentiful and kind of all over the place. I can hardly be defined by one area of expertise when it comes to biz and I love things like weiner dogs, a good game night and books - all the books. So honestly it just made sense to brand me. This brings us to this show - tena talks. I think you may just get a kick out of it.
