This week on the podcast I am joined by Nicole Lovald. Nicole is a yoga teacher, yoga studio owner, and author who joined me from Minnesota! Nicole started practicing yoga to help relieve her stress from her busy corporate job and fell in love with the practice to the point that she decided to teach.

We discuss finding your niche, creating products and services that they love to support your business, and much more!
