Hey friends, we are very excited to drop this episode! Today we have Val Litwin on the pod. Val is an inspiring person who co-founded Extreme Kindness, a social-enterprise aimed at creating a little more good in the world through random, yet intentional acts of kindness. Val also co-founded Blow Dry-Bar, which now has over 90 locations worldwide! He was also the Vice President of operations for Nurse Next Door, the CEO of the Whistler Chamber of Commerce, as well as the CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce.
