It also allows guests to share their passion, grow their brand message, and personally connect with the audience.”

“We’re looking for guests who reflect the entire community on a wide range of topics,” Boynton said. “Gardening, health, fitness, wellness, food/restaurants, travel, events, music, arts, home decorating— whatever you’re doing, we’d love to hear about it!”
