Today we talk to Amy Shoenthal, a bestselling author, journalist and marketing consultant for some of the world's largest brands. We talk about her latest book, The Setback Cycle that explores the personal setbacks of prominent leaders and gives us a 4-step process for navigating our own.
Maybe you’re in between jobs or in one that’s just not awesome anymore. Maybe you’re feeling kind of stuck. Or maybe everything really is awesome. And maybe you’re like me, and you’re every one of these depending on the day. Whatever it is, Amy keeps us laughing and gives us tools we can use every day to get through whatever is holding us back.
This was so much fun. Amy is the best.
Please enjoy Amy Shoenthal.
