Inside This Episode
You know, what its like when you meet one of you 'guru's, one of your 'go to ' people that you just seem to connect with because the way they talk about a subject or share a subject you totally get? Well that was, what it was like when I first listened to Jo Barnes back in 2010.  I don't personally know Jo, but you feel like you know her because the way she talks about social media and entrepreneurship.  So when she agreed to be on my show I was just SUPER-SYKED.  She has created a community for those that need help with social media. Her Facebook Fan Page alone has over 29000 fans so she's definitely doing it right.  She carries her business with her as she travels with her family and works bloody hard but she's done it.  This is her story!  Her 'how I did it'.  She also offers up some great advise and tips. Thanks Jo for being part of my show.  Stay Awesome! :) 

Check the questions I asked her and listen to the interview.
