Berni Takes Passion To Another Level!!
Berni is awesome and I love her passion. You can feel that she really cares and that is a beautiful thing. Definitely a blessing to the world. Cheers and fantastice Job on The Shup Up Show.
- Andrew Alliance (@Uriyya)
An dose of reality!
Fantastic show! You need to listen to this if you want to hear the truth, with no sugar coating. Berni won't let you get away with fluff. She wants it real, and that is the way she tells it. (But Berni is a woman who has been there, done that, and has the t-shirt--she knows her stuff!) Great show! Refreshing, fun, and a great lesson in learning from others!
Love the dynamic
Berni and Phil have a great dynamic and they bring on a solid variety of guests that always have some solid information. Full disclosure: I was a guest on the show, so I am a little bias, but I’ve been a fan and listener long before I was on the show, and I still listen to every episode. Love these two and the SUS.
