In Episode 17, I discuss how to break into business management consulting. I spent 6 years with a top global management consulting firm and the last six years building a startup and small business strategy and tech consulting firm. The skills required to be a successful consultant change in importance as your career progresses. New consultants must depend of their analytical skills while seasoned consultants must demonstrate leadership to successfully deliver solutions to their clients.

I am teaming up with Airbnb Open Homes, a program that enables community members to offer free, temporary housing to people displaced by disasters. During disasters such as the Tropical Storm Barry in Louisiana, one of our greatest needs is making sure every resident has a safe place to stay. With hurricane season around the corner, the time to prepare is now. If you are able to offer free, temporary housing for neighbors impacted by a disaster, sign up to be an Open Homes host by going to: airbnb.com/mpeterson. You will only be contacted when there is a need. This will add a great tool to our community's disaster response toolbox."
