I will figure it out.’” “When I started focusing on making an impact, I was able to fully be myself.” “Impact is a sustainable business model.” “When you’re struggling with something, it’s probably something you haven’t worked on internally.” DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: www.amandabucci.com Amanda’s Instagram, Youtube, Podcast Be Obsessed Or Be Average
