Phenomenal Conversation W/Angie Hanlin

Phenomenal Conversations w/ Mr. Short: Angie Hanlin 🎙️ Back in December, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Angie Hanlin, co-author of It’s Possible, for a great conversation that lasted nearly two hours. Because of the length, I decided to split the interview into two parts. There were a few lag issues in the recording, but I was able to clean it up using the app Descript, which helped remove delays and improve the overall quality. I hope you enjoy Part 1, and be on the lookout for Part 2 this Thursday. Be Phenomenal, Mr. Short
