Cori McDougald at Meat &amp;amp; Potatoes Organizing. Emma, Cori, and Melissa swap stories from a summer that included a professional athlete's move, a creepy client's storage unit, disappearing spatulas, and a whole lot of sweaty garages. It's a fun, heartfelt look at what it's really like to bring young talent onto an organizing team.
