She was then able to share her knowledge of SEO and sales. We have had a significant improvement in our sales due to Kimberly’s work, and we also appreciate the increased professionalism of our online presence."
“Josh was relentless in our company in general. He is tireless and also one of the smartest men I have been around in business. He would be a tremendous asset to any organization.”

On getting coached through financial fears
“I’ve been working with the pro forma and I learned so much working with Josh on this…one of the areas where it helped me the most is learning to slow down and look at things more realistically and to have an expert eyes on my goals.”
