She is also the host of The AmberMac Show podcast on SiriusXM with co-host Jeff MacArthur. Amber has keynoted more than 700 events around the world and has moderated sessions.

As a parent, she working hard every day to teach the simple stuff to her son so that he’s prepared for the world of work and the challenge of running a business.

Here is her list of "the simple stuff":

• Show up on time. Actually, show up early.
• Respond to people promptly.
• Be polite and communicate clearly.
• Take the time to learn how to spell and pronounce people’s names correctly.
• Send thank-you emails or texts when you finish a job.
• Pay people promptly.
