From taking different routes to work to saying yes to the right events while learning to say no to energy-draining commitments, Angel provides practical steps for diversifying your experiences and building meaningful community connections. She opens up about everything from her Jim Gaffigan comedy show insights to the importance of being around people who "get it" in your entrepreneurial journey.
