    Career Pivoting and Travelling Cross-Country

    Two conversations, the same message throughout: resilience and showing up for others never fades and only gets louder as you evolve. Jennifer Doty, leader, author, and health entrepreneur shares her journey from public accounting to portfolio career, and why self-awareness, not job titles, is the real foundation of lasting success. Risa August was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Then she got on a bike and rode across the country. She shares one of the most remarkable reinvention stories from diagnosis to patient advocate, from fear to purpose. Feedback Form https://tally.so/r/lbvXGW
