Greetings PM Family,

Can you believe it's September already? We are only a few weeks away from PM Virtual in October….and we're pumped! Today we're excited to present the first round of speaker announcements for the event, featuring some of the most amazing speakers to ever take the PM “stage”. We also have a sponsor for the Podcast Movement Facebook Group, and are very excited for some of the resources they'll be sharing over the coming months! Let's do this.
