Why having a crooked career path is actually a good thing with Brianna Doe

Work in Progress

Brianna Doe did everything “right” on paper. She worked in fast-paced environments, consistently overachieved on her goals, and climbed the corporate ladder. But she still felt completely miserable.

So she broke away.

In this episode, Brianna gets real about what made her walk away from the safety of a 9-to-5 job and bet on herself. She talks about the early days of building her agency, what happens when a business partnership goes sideways, and the element of “competition” that women deal with in the workplace.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How time blocking can help you stay focused
• What to ask before going into business with a friend
• Why you should have your own “personal board of directors”
