Fireside Chat with Laura Butler

¡Hola! 😄

Last week, I had the amazing opportunity to attend the Fireside Chat with Laura Butler at Microsoft! :-D

It was an amazing little adventure, my head blew up many times with the Pearls of wisdom that Laura shared with us. These Pearls of wisdom are the ones that I want to share with you in this blog post.
