After years in the corporate world in Paris, I hit a wall: burnout, lack of meaning and the feeling that something had to change.
In this solo episode, I share my story and how I went from being a corporate employee in marketing to becoming a business owner in Hong Kong.
I talk about what it took to rebuild my career and start over:
– Making the leap to move abroad
– Finding my first clients and building my marketing agency
– Launching the Asian Business Owners podcast
– Learning patience and self-trust along the way
