Perception is Reality, and The Business of Breast Cancer

In the guest chair:

Trudy Davies-Davis and Host Dana Barrett

Trudy Davies-Davis, Mrs. Georgia International 2013 and Founder & President of The Image Academy was in-studio today to talk about why image is important in business and things to think about when considering your own image.  Trudy, also a breast cancer survivor and advocate also joined me in a conversation about the business of breast cancer and why it’s not as “pretty” as it seems.
