We`re in a modern era of talk radio with the new age of podcasting.  I started listening to podcasts about 4 months ago and I am addicted.  On Apple podcast there are 12 + categories ranging from Arts to business to society & culture and so much more.  Inside each category there are endless podcast titles with an eclectic mix of hosts.

I listen to podcast that relate to me and the goals I have set for myself in 2019.  I find myself listening when I am driving and when I am home.  I am leveling up this year and these podcast are my path to success.  Let’s get to it, today I am sharing my favorite podcast I subscribe to and listen too on a daily.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we can’t stop thinking about this delicious Sangria we will be making for our family and friends. The recipe is perfect for a crowd and can be easily doubled. This Sangria tastes exactly like a caramel apple, with an adult twist. It’s sure to be a hit at Thanksgiving or any of your Fall parties.

You can easily switch up the recipe by using sparkling apple cider or wine. It’ll have the same amazing taste, but with a bubbly twist. If you’re looking for a holiday mocktail, use non-alcoholic sparkling wine.

2 apples
1 cup cranberries

1. Let’s be honest, a lot of things have changed in 10 years…it was just time
2. People always pronounced our company name Vagency,(va-gen-cy), our old logo was so confusing.
3. Our clients asked for it, seriously they did. We often hear after an event, how our clients didn’t expect the event experience and level of service we provided during the event. This continuous feedback resonated and our brand refresh reflects what to expect.

We hope you love the refresh as much as we do. Show us some love, leave a comment and help us share our new look by sharing our website link with your network. Thank you so much!

Stay tuned there is so much more to come!
