JODIE,
Totally enjoy watching your videos and reading all your wonderful articles. I’ve learned so mush from you by subscribing to your newsletter. This weekend I watched your video on how to create a playlist on spotify. I’m very new at this and was wondering what you need to do to get your playlist. Appreciate any help you can give.
PS watched you on the day of your presentation this past week. You were outstanding!! Enjoyed Soar to Success everyday!
