Great Podcast! We are just now building our launch team for Eat Live Thrive Diet – coming out March 2019. I’ve been a part of other author’s launch teams (Michele Cushatt, Pam Farrel, and others) and have a sense how it works. However, your tips for serving their audience well and finding creative ways to help the influencers was brilliant. Can’t wait for the next podcast!
