Denise Interviews "The Leader Builder, Stephanie Oden

** Programing Note **

Due to a technical glitch the program cut off right at 60 minutes and while the bulk of the program was recorded, we did not have an opportunity to wish our listeners happy holidays. I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2009. There is no regularly scheduled program until January 2009 and that date will be posted here soon.

Happy Holidays!
