Meet the Guest 

This week’s guest on the Hello Frances Podcast is Erin Sharkey, owner of City and Clay. Erin and Shantelle “met” on Instagram after Erin reached out to us about our Enneagram & The Workplace series. From there, Shantelle and Erin connected over the journey of starting and owning their own businesses and how Erin started City and Clay with just $100.
