Welcome to Family First Fridays which is a new segment of the podcast named in honor of my book, The Family First Entrepreneur. Last night, I held my very first book signing at the Books Inc. In Palo Alto and I had a blast. I wasn't planning on giving a speech at the bookstore last night, but I ended up giving a 15-minute impromptu talk, which I'm sharing with you today. Enjoy!
