The 90/10 Rule | Taking Your Spouse For Granted

This week we have Rob Corcoran on the podcast, who is a real estate expert and has been a resident real estate agent for 24 years.

Today we talk to Lorene Mah,  founder and CEO of Glitter & Spice, a company that sells safe and beautifully designed teething products for babies and toddlers. Since it's founding in 2015, Glitter & Spice (and Lorene herself) has won multiple awards for innovation and product safety, and has provided countless parents and infants with fashionable solutions to all of their teething and sensory development needs.
