That Tony is brilliant! What a superb human being he is, and he sounds so sexy. Was his sexiness distracting during the podcast?
Sincerely,
Tonya (not Tony)

Practical, down-to-earth advice for anyone looking for a job in any industry: be polite, don’t be pushy, learn from everyone you can, don’t be afraid to start at the bottom, try out all aspects of the business to see if it is right for you, etc. They hit every nail on the head. Just listening to their voices and words gave me confidence that I could trust their agency. They were also funny! Thanks for having these segments on the air.
