Advertise on podcast: The Touchstone Showcase

Today we unveiled a new podcast episode featuring Carla Rasetta, Founder of MBC Mortgage LLC, alongside VIP co-host Chrissy Bernardini aka the "Carla & Chrissy Show."    Self-proclaimed (and without question) wildly ambitious, Carla takes us through her unconventional journey to becoming her own boss.  Her energy, passion, and genuine joy for the people around her shine through in this interview and are just as evident the moment you meet her. For someone who says social media is one of the hardest parts of the job, she's absolutely crushing it there too. We were thrilled to have Carla on and are already voting to do the next one over coffee or a cocktail at CBI. IYKYK! #TouchstoneShowcase #Podcast #RealEstate #MBCMortgage #WomenInBusiness #CloseWithTouchstone mbcmortgage.com/carla https://www.instagram.com/carla_mbcmortgage/
