As is the case with live TV, segments are quick and never long enough to hit on everything I’d like to cover–it also doesn’t help that I haven’t mastered the art of speaking in few words…the Italian in me loves to talk. In the final minute of the segment, Angela mentions a few topics that I wanted to elaborate on…
Check out the conversation Angela Ganote and I had about how you can create room in your budget for the time being. As you’ll see toward the end of the segment we ran out of time to hit everything I was hoping to touch base on so I thought I’d add those couple of items here: Additional considerations: If possible,…
