What happens when you do everything right? Aace school, land the prestigious job climb the ladder and still end up burned out, disillusioned and questioning who you’re building your life for? For tech creator and entrepreneur Megan, that moment of reckoning led to a complete reinvention. After graduating from UVA and joining the Big Four, she quickly realized the traditional corporate path wasn’t built for her.

Today, she’s a full-time creator earning over $500,000 a year, teaching others how visibility and personal branding can transform their careers.
