Jenny Alday Townsend Season 3 Episode 187

In this inspiring episode of The Stroke It Podcast, host Jenny Townsend sits down with Stefanie Overturf — bestselling author, passion-driven entrepreneur, and business coach — to discuss her 15-year journey from cleaning houses during a recession to selling a multi-million dollar carpet cleaning company.
