Happenstance

Our careers are built out of opportunity and are impacted by our community, our desire to grow, and our openness to taking changes.

Lauren Mahomes Cerney's career story embodies all of that and more. Throughout this episode Lauren share's the failures that weren't really failures, the chances that she took, the opportunities that she said yes to (even when they were really scary) and how she has thrown the 5 year plan out the window.

She's in the middle of her career story and shares an honest look at how she got and here and what's next.
