This episode gives valuable insights on what it means to have a great career and achieve success especially to those who have been messaging me about identifying their passion, stepping into their purpose, and finding success in all these. I'll give you a hint: the secret lies in taking advantage of tangential opportunities that present themselves and leveraging them for the new skills they can teach you and keeping at it despite any challenges that come your way.I talk more about these in the podcast but here are some truths you probably didn't know about me:1. Branding was never my first career--I studied to be something else!2. I went through several watersheds in my career before I found contentment in what I was doing. I share why you will too and how you’ll be better for it.3. I was over 30 when I began my career in branding and design. So don’t think it’s ever too late to start. Thanks for listening!
