Welcome, AMSE members, supporters and partners! I'm your host, Moni Jefferson, and you're tuning in to the "Owning Up Podcast," a show tailored for today's modern, mission-driven business owners. As we step into November, the spirit of gratitude fills the air, and here at AMSE (Association of Military Spouse Entrepreneurs), we want to express our deep appreciation for all of you.

It's the perfect time to familiarize yourself with the array of benefits that come with your AMSE membership. On November 7th at 7:00 pm EST, we're entering the 11th week of the Elevate to Impact Collective. This is a mastermind group designed for military spouses seeking to transform both their personal lives and businesses through a 90-day virtual coaching program following the Evoke method. We're also excited to announce an in-person retreat in January 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona, so be on the lookout for the upcoming spring mastermind.
