The Personal Image System Podcast

One thing many of us take for granted is the smell of our breath. It’s right under your nose, so you can’t notice what’s going on. You’re too used to it.

Even though you can’t smell it, everyone else can. It could be costing you in your personal and business life.

Think about it, do you want to be in a close negotiation with someone who smells? Do you want to kiss someone who smells? It can make you worried that there’s something worse going on in there.

Luckily, this is a pretty simple thing to fix.
