A Stranger's Instagram Post Changed My Life. That's Why I Started a Podcast. | Cheryl Lau

In 2018, a stranger's Instagram post stopped me mid-scroll. She had just quit her corporate job to start a business, and something about the way she wrote it gave me the courage I didn't know I needed. That person was Vanessa Lau. That post was why I eventually started this podcast. In this solo episode, I share what's working on EDIT HISTORY right now, one thing I'm doing differently, and one experiment I'm running - including a new episode structure I'm testing called the Stone Age, the Renaissance, and the Present Day. I also answer two listener questions: why I stopped talking about leaving law school (and then talk about it in full), and why I chose podcasting specifically as my medium.     TIMESTAMPS:   (00:00) Introduction (01:47) What's working (05:25) What's not working  (11:41) What I'm experimenting with  (15:46) Q&A 1: You don't talk about leaving law school or the PhD much anymore! (22:35) Q&A 2: Why did you choose to start a podcast?     CONNECT WITH CHERYL LAU   Website: https://cheryllau.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cheryltheory  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheryltheory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheryllau WORK WITH CHERYL LAU   I produce distinctive and deeply resonant podcasts for leaders and organizations who want their content to command attention, spark meaningful conversations, and attract high-value opportunities.
