Brian Aquart sits down with Anna Burgess Yang, who went from Fintech corporate executive to creative freelancer.
At the peak of her career, Anna realized something crucial was amiss — personal fulfillment and operational influence. After a 15-year hustle, the pandemonium of the pandemic presented Anna with unique challenges — working remotely while balancing her role as a mother of three. It was in this moment that her priorities underwent a seismic shift.
In a heart-to-heart with Brian, Anna delves into the itch to leave the security of a steady job for the riskier waters of freelancing. She recounts the trials parents face, especially during unprecedented times, and the subsequent advocacy for flexible and asynchronous work. Listen in as she reveals how she effectively built a career portfolio that now brings her immense joy and satisfaction.
Anna's story is an eye-opener to the necessity of aligning one's career with core values and the freedom of being your own boss. If you've ever dreamed of taking control of your work life or finding a balance that suits your personal situation, this episode will resonate deeply with you.
Enjoy!
