Send us Fan MailIn this episode of "Time To Press Pause," host Ellen Williams interviews Hilary Topper, CEO of HJMT PR and the Chief Curator of HJMT Media Company. Hilary discusses her career, beginning with the founding of her firm in 1992 and its growth from a home office to a larger team. Despite business success, the constant networking and responsibility became overwhelming, leading her to a crucial moment where she chose to "press pause" and reassess her life. This turning point came when she saw people running and, despite never being athletic, decided to start running herself. This new passion eventually led her to participate in triathlons, become a triathlon coach, and shift her business model to allow more flexibility and personal fulfillment. She also shares a personal story about her sister's tragic experience with a misdiagnosed aneurysm, which later influenced Hilary's own health decisions when she faced a similar scare. The podcast emphasizes the importance of taking breaks and making significant life changes for personal well-being and health.
