Live & Linking with Ashley Leeds

As an entrepreneur, I want to explore what other business owners are doing to make money, grow, keep sane and basically get stuff done. I teach people to use LinkedIn and also coach business owners to grow and expand. I have a weekly live show on LinkedIn and thought that I"d share these episodes with you. I will be doing ad hoc podcasts as I gather momentum so if there is a topic that you"d like me to cover then please let me know.
