Kind words from Samantha Wills

I got my issue of OAK Magazine, and I have read every interview. If you have a small business, I cannot recommend this mag enough. You have probably heard my story a zillion times but it’s THE OTHER stories in there that I am seriously obsessed with. It’s an inspiration-fest.
Grab a copy, have a read.
