TOPLESS GOVERNMENT

I am pleased to have my guest join our show. Ron Hamm, President of Hamm Consulting Group Hamm Consulting Group. Ron is a friend and colleague who taught me how to be an effective advocate for my clients. [Ron talks about his background and the Hamm Consulting Group.]

In this episode, Ron and I are going to delve into how the qualities and abilities of candidates running for public office have changed in a dramatic way and may not be in the best interest of our nation.

Thank Ron Hamm for coming on the show and being my guest on Topless Government.
