Season 2, Episode 5: “Women, Wealth and Wow” with Pierre Bennu [Podcast]

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 5 of the Indie Business Podcast! In this fifth episode of our Women, Wealth and Wow! series, I introduce you to my guest and dear personal friend, Pierre Bennu, of exittheapple in Baltimore, Maryland.

Pierre and I first met in 2010 when he joined me and his lovely wife, Jamyla Bennu, at small business advocacy meetings at the Small Business Administration in Washington, DC. As you'll hear, Pierre is a champion of women in general, particularly when it comes to their innate value. He also celebrates the amazing opportunities all of us have to thrive and achieve in today's environment — where, as you'll hear him say — we are surrounded by the freedom to Dream In Detail. Enjoy my chat with Pierre NOW!
