Media exposure has long been one of the most valuable achievements a business can experience – even if it’s “bad publicity” (which, of course, there is no such thing).

She’s funny. She’s smart. And she’s sneaky… I don’t mean that in a bad way – she has to be sneaky in her line of work. Laurie Guest is not only a professional speaker, she is also a “secret shopper”.
