#046 Listen to Maggie's journey from physical therapist to tech entrepreneur, a story that will inspire anyone considering a career pivot. As co-founder of Embodia, she unpacks the trials from the stability of a physical clinic to the dynamic world of a digital startup.
Starting her own practice was a leap of faith for Maggie, driven by a combination of professional frustration and a lack of adequate mentorship as a new graduate. In this episode, you will hear that Maggie emphasizes that aligning yourself with the right individuals can be the catalyst for success, and the implications of knowing who owns the tech companies you engage with in your decision-making process.
The closing of her clinic to focus on Embodia serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of entrepreneurial life. This episode is for those thinking about the idea of leaving a career or job they are not happy with.
Join us as we explore the entrepreneurial journey of Maggie and her tech startup Embodia. Perhaps you'll find what you need to make a transition in your career.
