Creating a Career That Matches Your Potential with Alison Hemmings – Ep.395
Q: So tell us a little bit about your background and particularly I'd like to hear about your kind of career through corporate before you started your own thing.
Hemmings began in retail management and discovered her strength in hiring and placing people. After a client rejected a candidate because of their race and her employer fired her for objecting, she opened a recruiting business within 30 days.
Leaving CNN For a New Calling with Carol Lin – Ep.394
Q: What inspired you to write this book?
Lin wanted to complete the story she had begun after leaving CNN and give her daughter a fuller account of her life, including its mistakes, grief, healing, and purpose.
Leaving CNN For a New Calling with Carol Lin – Ep.394
Q: What was going on for you internally, and what circumstances led you to leave corporate news?

Build Stronger Relationships After Leaving Corporate with Morag Barrett – Ep.392
Q: What would you say to the Morag you were back then about starting her own business or about leaving corporate?
Barrett would encourage herself to outsource sooner. She says her time is best spent representing her work, meeting prospective clients, and maintaining relationships, rather than doing every transactional or design task herself.
