0:00.0 | Welcome to another episode of The Chicks on the Right podcast. Today I have with me one of our |
0:04.8 | favorites, our BFF and sponsor Zach Abraham of Bullwork Capital Management. |
0:09.9 | Zach, interesting topic that we have for you today. And that is apparently two representatives |
0:15.7 | that you would not expect to be working together, Anna Paulina Luna and AOC have decided to work together to introduce |
