Our 100th Episode - Biggest Lesson Learned Over the Last 10 Years with Cassi Claire

November 23, 2021 Jaine Kershner

I can’t believe the day is really here but today marks our 100th podcast episode! I’m beyond excited and thrilled that this little podcast that started off as something to do for fun has truly turned into something so wonderful. I want to say thank you to every single person that has listened to the show. We wouldn’t be here today without any of you! This podcast has opened up so many doors for me as a business coach, educator, speaker, and it’s also created so many wonderful relationships along the way. Thank you to my VA’s past and present whom without you, I wouldn’t be able to do this week after week. So, with that being said, I’m so excited to go back to the beginning and have one of my besties on today, Cassi Claire. She started it all with episode number one which is still one of our most listened-to shows ever. I wanted to have a conversation with Cassi about what we’ve learned over the last 10 years we’ve been in business. This episode is almost an hour-long, and it’s a good one. A little bit about Cassi is that she’s is a wedding photographer, educator, who works with her husband, and has created a successful associates program while following her dream. Cassi is fueled by travel, summer, fashion, faith, and Netflix.
