Episode 5 - Olivia Van Wormer

The fifth and final episode of The Thing About Sales features Olivia Van Wormer. Along with Olivia's title of "Account Executive" at PandaDoc, she also has the title "World Traveler." At the age of just 19, Olivia bought a one-way ticket out of the states and subsequently spent the next year of her life traveling to over 15 different countries in multiple continents. In this episode, Olivia and I talk about her experiences and inspiration for her trip, and then we dive into some hard questions discussing how to thrive and not drown at a new company. Demonstrating this perfectly in her own career, Olivia was promoted to a "closing" role in her company after working only one month in a position that was completely foreign to her. Olivia is fantastic at giving practical advice that applies to everyone, and her adventurous take on life is a refreshing thing to listen to in the seriousness and busyness of life.
