She said she’d been binge-listening to our podcast. She kept hearing story after story of people finding their way to career happiness. Linnea listened to these stories on her commute to work, on the treadmill at the gym, and while she cooked dinner at night. She was hooked.

We also explore what she enjoys most about what she does and why she likes it. We also talk about the importance of playing the long game when it comes to building relationships.
