Find My Catalyst Podcast
We all have problems we are looking to solve. We know that there are solutions out there, but we struggle with this.
How do we find the solution, where does the nudge come from to help us take the next step, and start solving tough problems. The intention of this podcast is to help you find your catalyst and take that next step.
