Listen on Saturday, November 21 & 28 at 11 AM (a 2 parter!) to hear Ira speak with IZZY GESELL and JAYNE PEARL. Izzy is an improv trainer and humorologist; Jayne is a writer and expert about kids and money. The 3 of them discuss how they’ve met regularly for years to help each other think things through, be it a project, a challenge, a personal roadblock. Hear how they provide guidance without being advicey and how there is accountability without pressure and judgement. They discuss how small business owners can easily assemble a similar brain trust; how they ask good questions; how one’s perspective can be improved by this kind of camaraderie. This is a 2-part episode, and after, both will be on the station’s podcast page at whmp.com/podcasts
