Bella Del Podcast
A mentor once told me that I shouldn't pursue a career; rather, I should pursue a problem and be open to the careers that have the capacity to address that.
In all selfishness, this podcast is my way of figuring out what that problem might be for me by talking to people who’ve been thinking deeply about theirs for years. These conversations are also a way for me to learn how they think, to ask better questions, and to see which ideas I continue to think about long after the conversation ends. I figured I would leave up my previous episodes from past iterations of my podcast and continue to publish new ones so that you can learn along with me.
