Welcome to the Table: Say Yes First, Figure It Out Later

In today's episode, I got to speak with Christine Richmond, a Licensed Master Social Worker and Geriatric Care Manager about her journey from immigrant, single mother to founding two incredible businesses in the elder care space.  She talks about the power of putting yourself out there and just saying yes when opportunity presents itself.  She talks about some of the pitfalls of being raised to be a caregiver and finding her purpose through volunteering.  She cares so deeply about humanity and is smart and hardworking and delightful.  I am so happy you are here to listen to her story.
