#58: How to move on from coporate and start your own business with Shannon Russell

In today's episode of Content Magic I am chatting with my friend Shannon Russell, a career transition coach and CEO of Second Act Success. She is sharing her transition from her corporate career as a TV producer in New York and Los Angeles to becoming a franchise owner and then again her shift to starting her own business. We dive into the challenges of leaving a stable job, the unpredicability of entrepreneurship and even find some analogies with Hallmark movies. Plus, Shannon gives us a sneak peek into her forthcoming book and insights on finding work that aligns with your life.
