Transcript of Cami's Commentary:
I firmly believe in using my local community to promote my business, but I've also expanded by networking in the WordPress community. For freelancers starting out, reaching out to your own community can quickly attract business. Community groups, like my 12-year membership in BNI, have been crucial for my business growth. Engaging with the Chamber of Commerce and attending events consistently leads to valuable contacts that often become clients in the future. Recently, I designed websites for a music festival and an arts and craft fair in my Beach Community. Remember, if you're struggling to find clients, your own backyard can be a fruitful source of opportunities.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
