    I have to admit that when your email said “Biggest” guest – I was secretly hoping for Mike Myers (Austin Powers) and a redux of his performance as “Fat Bastard.” Just kidding… great interview!

    “If you can get your people out of the office having fun than you will become the creative hotbed of your industry!…It was the FUN card that made it happen.”… So brilliant!  I’m so glad she got that power point in! Thank you Barbara for sharing all your deep wisdom. :)

    Great interview, David! I love how simple, practical and downright witty her answers and strategies are! I found out about her from Shark Tank and I think she’s such a great inspiration-in-action business woman. Oh, and I can’t believe you asked my question – woohoo! Thanks so much!
