Better Satellite World Podcast: Summer Fun 2021, Episode 1 featuring AB5 Consulting and Farmer Charlie's Betty Bonnardel-Azzarelli

Summer is a time for fun in the sun, for vacations, hobbies and taking a step back from the usual business of the industry. In this podcast series, we check in on what people in the industry are doing this summer, what they're thinking about for the fall as they head out on vacation and what they're planning to do to when they return to make a better satellite world. The first episode of the 2021 Summer Fun series features a conversation between SSPI Director of Development and Innovation Lou Zacharilla and Betty Bonnardel-Azzarelli, Founder and CEO of AB5 Consulting, Ltd. and the award-winning SME Farmer Charlie. Lou checks in with Betty on her summer plans and and learns more about how she was recently honored as a Member of the Order of the British Empire by Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II!
