How to Get Paid

This week, I sit down with one of my dearest friends, a future doctor y’all. As a child of immigrants, particularly West African immigrants, I constantly heard a doctor and lawyer were the gold standards of career choice. I am finally able to relieve the angst of not fulfilling my childhood dream career through the gems and reflections she shared at this point in her career as a 4th year medical student.

Journey with me as I talk to folks across backgrounds, job titles and industries to figure out how they sustain themselves and their families.

I’m listening in learning about the skills people cultivate that empower their work, how they spend their shift, and how that impacts the lifestyle they are able to create for themselves.

From doctors, artists, carpenters, to educators, performers, artists, maybe even a clown or two. I want to better understand how people use their time and get compensated for it.

How to Get Paid, I’m looking forward tothe answers.
