Choosing Authenticity with Venessa Kaufman

We ALL crave human connection. Real, authentic human connection. In this episode, we’re so excited to be joined by Wealth Management Broker turned blogger, Venessa Kaufman. Venessa shares her own personal story of building a side hustle that eventually replaced her corporate job, and how she has been able to connect with her audience authentically. It’s that human connection over real conversations, and adding value to other’s lives that have been a major piece of her success in building her blogging career.
