Today I sit down with Brooke Kuffel, who played four years on the University of Wisconsin Womens Softball team, to discuss her journey from T-ball to playing in stadiums across the country as a Badger athlete. She shares how she dealt with the pressure to perform and how she balanced being a student athlete, emphasis on student, and everything in-between.

From Dreamer to Doer, I sit down with Dana Brandt from the Tampa Wedding Network as we discuss her journey from a volunteer wedding photographer to becoming Venue Management for weddings at two separate venues in Florida.
