I did this crazy thing the other day.
I went on Facebook Live and let people ask me anything about my businesses and life. And suddenly, the 90 minutes I had allotted had flown by, and I had answered quite a few questions from people located all over the world.
See below the video for the questions and links to websites that I mentioned.
You can also go to the video directly on Facebook with the time stamps and comments here.
