Go Inspire Go with Toan Lam
I met Toan Lam at an AAJA convention in Boston where we both spoke on a panel. We formed a quick bond, one reinforced over the years as we have both encouraged each other in our field. Go Inspire Go is his labor of love, a site and a brand dedicated to telling stories of people doing good and then encouraging others to be agents of change. Please check it out here.

Now Michelle is thriving as the owner of Nourish Kitchen + Lifestyle, a shop in the picturesque southern NSW town of Berry. Check out her site here.
