163. Quit Story: How to Pursue an Unconventional Career & Entrepreneurship as an Asian Immigrant (Betty Xie)

A few years ago, Betty blew my mind when she shared the following metaphor:  "If you think about the fundamentals of a palette, you really just need the three basic colors - red, yellow and blue. And if you have those three colors, you can make a thousand, millions different shades, all shades come from those three colors. So bringing that parallel to talent, we just need what you already have, the shades that you already have to make a thousand different beautiful possibilities." THAT is the type of coach Betty is: She is a coach that advocates for people to be compassionate and kind to themselves, and to leverage what they DO have to create amazingness in this world. Needless to say, Betty is brilliant and I am delighted to invite her onto the show to share not just other brilliant nuggets, but also to dive into her story   On episode 163 of The Thought  Leader Club Podcast, you'll hear about:   Growing up in different cultures/locations, immigrant parents, and the other early experiences that shaped Betty into who she is today  The decision to go into the humanities, to pursue post graduate studies, what peeps around you were doing, etc  The multiple hats that Betty wears, including flmmaker, fundraising consultant, coach, business owner, and many more And other conversations about creating an award-winning podcast, traveling, and so much more~   About Betty: Betty Xie is a filmmaker, fundraising consultant, career coach and podcaster.
