Welcome to the Be That 1% Podcast Experience!

Welcome to episode 30 where we discuss what it means to be a warrior with Frances Linsangan. We decided to have Frances on the podcast this month because it is Lupus Awareness Month and because our theme for this month is believing in yourself, which Frances has become great at over the course of her life.
