The Lively Show TLS #27 with Kathryn Jackson: "E-Brain", Natural Products, and Family Businesses
oday I’ve got a fresh new Lively Show for you full of actionable life and business ideas!
I’m talking with Kathryn Jackson, the founder of Protect Your Pumps, a product that protects the soles of your high heels, and the co-founder of Essentially Mint, an all natural beauty product line out of Milwaukee.
