Marketing Happy Hour

How I Built a Career by Taking BIG Risks and Pitching Myself


Listen Later

In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the unexpected journey that’s brought me to where I am today—from pitching myself into my first full-time role, taking big risks in new cities, and leading teams at a young age, to launching a business and growing a podcast that changed everything. I’m sharing the biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way: why nothing is permanent, how to pitch yourself (even when you’re scared), the value of taking risks early, and how to constantly reassess what you actually want. If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or just in need of some honest perspective on what it means to build a fulfilling, self-made career—this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:

// Why taking risks early in your career can pay off in unexpected ways

// The power of pitching yourself—and how to do it with confidence

// What it really means to grow your skills outside of a traditional career path

// How to build lasting relationships without expecting instant returns

// Why self-awareness and reflection should be part of your career strategy

// How side projects (like a podcast!) can turn into major career opportunities

// How to own your story—even when it’s still being written
