The Momentum Marketing Podcast Jillian Kendrick For over a decade, I’ve been helping women entrepreneurs create a business that supports their income goals and their lifestyle. And I’m taking everything I’ve learned over the years, working with thousands of clients from all over the world and bringing it to you!If you keep doing the same things, you’ll stay in the same place you’re at. Business growth requires personal, professional, and relational growth that only comes from either experience or having a mentor to share it with you.The Momentum Marketing Podcast is dear to my heart. It’s the conversations and advice I wish I had a decade ago when I started my business. You’ll get real-world, practical advice and strategies to grow your business and take it to the next level. I will challenge you to think outside the business and move yourself in uncomfortable directions, but I promise… if you can get past the junk… the business and life you want is waiting on the other side. Stop being afraid to say what you want, and go out ther The Art of Arms l’Arte Dell Armi At the Art of Arms we have one solitary vision, to bring the historical martial arts we study as HEMA or WMA practitioners to life by telling the stories of those who lived it. The hours of research, writing, transcription and translation are worth it when we get to see Altoni’s Spiedo section in action at the Baglioni Palazzo, Fiore’s armor techniques displayed on the battlefields of San Giovanni in Persiceto, Liectenauer’s rossfechten techniques thundering across the terrain of southern Germany, the Anonimo’s sword and gauntlet brought to bear in the lists of Mantua; these are the moments where history and martial arts meet, and we’re dedicated to bringing these moments to you our dear listeners. We hope you enjoy!
