Today I have a powerful CEO conversation for you, with none other than my good friend, Jasmine Star! Jasmine is the CEO of Social Curators and a social media expert, and she is just a wonderful human who was actually a member of my very first mastermind group that I worked with.  Recently, I pitched Jasmine with an idea for a podcast episode where I’m not just interviewing her, but rather, one that has us interview each other. This is the result of that conversation, as we fire questions at each other and share it all in the process. We covered so much in this raw and real episode, but we both realized that we have so much more to talk about, so you just might get a Part Two very soon!  If this episode inspired you in some way, take a screenshot of you listening on your device and post it to your Instagram Stories, and tag us, @jameswedmore and @jasminestar.  I’m doing something that I’ve never done before, and for a limited time only! I’ve created a second, behind-the-scenes podcast, called The SourcererCEO Series, and in it, I break down a series of the most powerful distinctions, concepts and exercises that have helped me thrust onto a path that has allowed me to learn more and awaken spiritually.
