Amanda Montgomery is a business lawyer who helps small businesses and entrepreneurs with all of their legal needs. She truly believes your vote matters. Amanda shares that message with all of our listeners today. A passion for helping women and small business owners led her to serve this group.

Now it’s 22 days till the election when this podcast airs. Amanda shares about how she came to be interested in politics and why she enjoys talking about it. KnowYourVote.io - shares different issues and where the candidates stand. It’s not just the presidential election, the house and senate elections are ongoing. ballotpedia.org - if you don’t know what your ballot looks like, go here. They provide profiles on each individual. These sites make it easy to find out more info about who is running in the elections and what is their background. Trying to discredit the integrity of the election process is a form of voter suppression. Voter fraud is not a prevalent problem. We talked about how we vote with our money every time we spend our money. Choosing to shop small is a form of this type of voting with our dollars. Your vote matters here too. Websites for looking at companies - bcorporation.net voteplus10.org It’s important to think about ways we can give back and take a bigger interest in our cities and underserved areas. Amanda shared the quote, “Fortune favors the prepared mind” and talks about how it can be modified to help us educate ourselves. Change favors the prepared mind. Budgets for education favors the prepared mind. Whatever side you decide to vote for, remember - your vote matters. Her definition of success - putting her kids to bed, getting to see them a lot, family time. The more you get of time with your loved ones, the luckier you are. The 3 words she thinks of when she hears the word money - security, vacation, freedom.
