#362 Ilise Benun on How to Get Better Clients with Bigger Budgets

For February I’m reading aloud another essay I love from the poet-philosopher,&nbsp;David Whyte, and his book of essays&nbsp;CONSOLATIONS: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words. This one is on&nbsp;“courage” so much more important than confidence, which so many people claim not to have.
