Called to Serve: Carlos and April’s Visiting Angels Journey
Paul and Joan return to the Home Care Millionaire Podcast with an inspiring story about faith, perseverance, and building a home care agency with heart.This week’s guests, Carlos and April, owners of Visiting Angels in Virginia, left stable careers to follow a long-standing call to serve seniors.
