Erin Rollenhagen is joining us!  Erin is the founder and CEO of Entrepreneurial Technologies - which is a people friendly-tech company based in Des Moines, Iowa.  She’s also the author of “Soul Uprising - which is an incredible book that encourages entrepreneurs and business leaders to trust their purpose and embrace IMPACT as the true measurement of success.  Erin joined us back in episode 253…where we talked about how you can be strong AND authentic. It’s a powerful episode and one of our most popular of 2020… so I encourage you to go back and check it out.  Since that time, Erin has continued in her leadership at Entrepreneurial Technologies… AND she’s also found herself consulting entrepreneurs and other business leaders to navigate the wild emotional ride of entrepreneurship and leadership… in life in general… as well as during crazy times. We recently reconnected and as I heard about that work… I wanted to have her back on the show to talk about some of the strategies she uses herself… and well as what she suggests for her clients… especially when it comes to our emotions… and thriving at any time… but especially during unpredictable times.  So let’s get to it!
