I love to have guest speakers share their expertise in my TRU TRIBE Team. My goal is to have one on a monthly basis. I record the 30 minutes conversations for replay later in case they can’t make it. This is another perk for being a member.
Here is the list of guest speakers we’ve had so far:

- Owner of Sparks Systems, we use Anna to help us with our nutrition as well.
