It's Cookie Season Ya'll!

In this episode and in celebration of Women's History Month, Neil and Will sit down with Lynne Fugate the CEO of the Girl Scouts of the Appalachians.  It's not just about the cookies - hear her talk about the impact the organization makes on young girls and communities.  Then take some time and try all the cookies and figure out which one is your favorite, then go vote!  Take a listen to find out Lynne's favorite and why she is so passionate about the Girl Scouts and the lessons that are taught far beyond selling the most cookies.  You might even hear Neil give his "favorite" pick for the Academy Awards and how his "visit" went last week.  Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz of the week: Appalachian Cookie Company!
