How We Got Here - Career Stories

In this short clip, I chat with Yvonne Prang about her experience as a mentor and she offers specific advice on how to find a mentor.

What I really like about this episode is that we get the perspective from a mentor - why she gives back, and how she benefits from it too. A lot of us think mentorship is a one-way street, but it really is a mutually beneficial relationship.

Enjoy!

In this short clip, Yvonne gives some really great insight into how she approaches maintaining work-life balance. She is very self-aware, and that helps to inform her strategies for coping with a busy schedule and a busy lifestyle.

What works for her might not necessarily work for you, so we both encourage our listeners, to be honest with themselves to figure out what works for them, and what doesn’t.

Enjoy!

In this short clip, Yvonne talks about her approach to handling stress. She's had her fair share of people coming to her looking to solve major problems. She talks about making sure that you see the whole picture, how to manage expectations, and how to make sure that you learn from these challenges and improve in the future.

In this short clip, Yvonne talks about the traits of a good leader - inspiring others, accountability, and leaving ego aside.

In this short clip, Yvonne and I talk about the differences between men and women in the workplace, how societal views of women have evolved and where they need to go, and she provides detailed advice for young women starting their careers.

In this short clip, I chat with Yvonne Prang about how she handles career challenges, something that is very relevant for all of us today.

It’s useful to reposition these challenges as an opportunity to learn and push ourselves outside of our comfort zone while balancing what needs to be done today with our longer-term goals.

In this episode, I’m joined by Meghan Rowe, co-founder of White Leaf Provisions, an organic regeneratively farmed food line.

Meghan is an entrepreneur creating a new category, but it took time for her to figure this vision out.

She went from being unhappy at an advertising agency, to moving to Key West, Florida and staying there for 4 years working side gigs and launching a photography business, to eventually starting a business.

Things to look for in Meghan’s story:

Honest signals that New York City was not the right city for her

How she knew that Charleston, SC was the right place for her and her husband to relocate

Life leads you if you listen to it

What is was like during a  7-hour meeting with a potential investor

Coming up with the brand behind White Leaf and creating the narrative

Getting her product distributed by WholeFoods, Wegmans and other Natural Grocers

In this short clip, Meghan talks about the origin of her idea for a business. Like many other business origin stories, Meghan was facing a problem with seemingly no solution.

We talk about what she did immediately after the idea struck to further validate her concept.

That business now sells products distributed by Whole Foods, Wegmans and other natural grocers.
