We're back with another Brassy Roadcast adventure from Asheville, North Carolina, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our first stop was Biltmore Estate to see the Christmas decorations.

What if…we were encouraged to bring our creativity and our unique gifts to work with us? What would the world look like? Would we be better humans? Would we do better work?

Rebecca Fleetwood Hession, host of The Badass Women’s Council podcast joins me...

I'm still a bundle of nerves before I hit the stage and it doesn't matter if it's a speaking gig or I'm playing music. Joining Toastmasters helped me significantly. It gave me confidence because it forc...
