Ed Dale has been an important influence on the Secret Women's Business Network. We all met through the Thirty Day Challenge and have found some of our best training to come through the Thirty Day Challenge, the Underachievers program (no longer available) and the Immediate Edge. So, we were incredibly excited when Ed agreed to talk to us for the SWBN podcast.
