"When I spoke with Mary, I was more than pleasantly surprised. Why? Because she came with resources that I can use in my business right now. But then also she was just like freely open and giving it without any expectations. And it made the pressure of like, 'is it going to be one of those one on ones?' It took it off and I really enjoyed the call and I cannot wait to do more work with her."

"I've done a lot of presentations and Mary has been there the entire time and given me terrific advice on how to present my brand. When I look at what Mary does in terms of really trying to get you to think both in terms of the questions that she asks, but also in getting you to ask the right questions with the experiences she's got, she's just invaluable."
