What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
Every week I get to meet new people. Not all of them will necessarily become clients, but I work heavily on LinkedIn, so I'm constantly connecting with people. It's amazing.
I've met people from all over the world, and sometimes they don't become clients, and that's totally fine. I recently met someone from across the United States who has a phenomenal career and is doing amazing work. We had a great conversation.
Sometimes our initial meetings are supposed to be 15 minutes long, but they turn into an hour because the person is so fascinating. I'm fortunate that I get to do that, and I enjoy it tremendously.
