Summary

Welcome to another Friday here on the Introspective. We’re still celebrating Financial Freedom Week, but we’ll take today’s episode to the next level. It is said that one sign that you have already achieved financial freedom is when you are able to connect with people not only in your locality but across the world as well. And one way to achieve and maintain that level of global connectedness is by having cross-cultural competence in terms of communicating with people from all walks of life.

Communication has always been relevant and important throughout history, especially with today’s global pandemic crisis. In the entrepreneurial world, communication is also essential in dealing not just with the people near us but also with people we interact across the world. So today we have Jessica Stone, a journalist, an author, and a global adventurer, right here on the Introspective. As a 20-year veteran of local, national, and international newsrooms, Jessica has covered the intersection of politics and business around the world with her work appearing in the South China Morning Post, Yahoo Finance, Stansberry Research, USA Today and the nation’s FOX and CBS radio and television stations. Jessica’s journalistic curiosity and passion to understand have taken her to five continents to work alongside a variety of cultures around the world. If you’re planning to take your business in other parts of the world, this episode is for you!
