Have you ever caught yourself thinking I'm meant to do more than this? Not in a dramatic way — just a quiet, persistent sense that the job you're in isn't the full size of what you're capable of? If so, this conversation with Emily Sexton is for you.

Emily is the founder of The Flourish Market, an online boutique that carries more than 50 brands working to provide dignified jobs and fair wages to artisans and makers in vulnerable communities around the world. She built it into a multi-million dollar business after feeling that exact calling — the one that won't go away — while working a high-powered Wall Street job. She didn't know what she was supposed to do next. She just followed the thread of her curiosity, took the next action she could see, and then the next one.

We talk about the actual steps she took from point A to point B, what she had to let go of along the way, and how she got from a job that looked impressive on paper to a business that fits her and changes lives. If you're somewhere in the middle of that same shift, you'll want to take notes on this one.

This episode originally aired on Hitting Rock Middle, the show that has since evolved into The Sallie Ogden Show.

About the show:

The Sallie Ogden Show is for the woman who's already built something — and is stuck at the plateau where the old playbook stops working. Tactical when you need a number. Honest when you need a mirror. Hosted by former lawyer turned consultant Sallie Ogden.
