The ultimate purpose of creating a visionary business is not to make money. It is to transform the world by doing what we love to do and what we need to do to bring about a new era of peace and prosperity. It takes courage and commitment to materialize dreams into matters that matter. It also takes a bit of playfulness and magic. This is where Marc Allen comes into the game. Join Voice Visionary Kara Johnstad and Marc Allen, Author, Speaker, Teacher, and CEO of New World Library, as they talk about the role that our voice plays in manifesting our dreams.
