December 6th was our Get in The Know Event, which saw us welcoming numerous entrepreneurial super stars. As many of you know, we at the Modern Day provide resources to help you have it all and this is one of the reason why we produce these interactive, information-packed events. Providing events and other digital resources to assist you in being your best, most authentic self, we adhere to the idea and implementation of bringing others with us on this fun journey. If you missed the event, we’re providing you a recap, so read on!
