Puno Dostres aka maybe the coolest person I’ve ever spoken to is this week's guest. She’s a self-declared "slashie" - teacher /  digital designer / the founder of PeopleMaps, which is my favorite Instagram marketing tool and ilovecreatives - an online platform for creatives - it’s a job board and an education hub where Puno teaches some amazing courses. Puno has been a speaker at Create and Cultivate and Girlboss Rally which is next-level cool. This episode is a bit of a ramble, in the best way, but we talk about how getting laid off in the 2008 financial crisis might’ve been the best thing and her advice for others in similar situations now in 2020, following your path and not worrying so much about the future.
