If this conversation doesn't just scream empowerment (through a plastic megaphone with a one-color imprint) on all levels, we don't know what does.

Listen in as Samantha Kates, VP of Sales, and Ashley Colautti, Senior Account Manager for industry service provider commonsku, about what it's like being two of the women behind the company whose community of distributors have achieved $1 Billion in network volume as of April 2021.  They also talk about the inspiration they get to be a part of daily, working for the powerhouse that is Mark and Catherine Graham,  the power in empowering each other in all things we do, and they even get real about the effects the pandemic has had on them, their families, and their careers.  

This is one you do not one to miss, friends.
