I went into this week’s episode anticipating a conversation about GRATITUDE and how it can save us time, and came away with answers to that question and so much more.

📣This week on The Time Management Podcast I am joined by Chris Schembra, a celebrated keynote speaker, best-selling author, and expert in human connection. USA Today calls him their “Gratitude Guru”, he’s the Founder of the 7:47 Gratitude Experience™ a 2-time Emmy Award winner and Pasta sauce inventor.
