The Labor of Love with Francesca Hogi

SIMON SINEK
About this episode

It’s what all the poets write about, all the musicians sing about, and all the brokenhearted cry about. That’s right… It's time to talk about love.  

I was lucky enough to talk to Francesca Hogi, a love coach and all around incredible person, about how we can traverse through the world of digital dating, rejection, and modern day love.

So… care to join us? Great. It’s a date.

This is… A Bit of Optimism.
