Most people think that data and gut feelings are opposite ends of a spectrum. But pairing them together can give you the confidence to do the things that others might not have.
Rachel Romer, CEO and Co-Founder of Guild Education, relied on both when, in 2015, she decided to move her company from the bustling San Francisco to—what others believed—nowhere, Denver. Turns out, she was right.
Now, she chatted with @Joe Mills on this episode of the 1,000 Stories podcast to talk more about moving her company to Denver, how motherhood affected her perspective on life and work, her Enneagram, the books that made the biggest impact on her, and more.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-
Parenthood shifts your life. You’ll need to reevaluate your priorities and identity if your company has been your sole focus until you’ve become a parent.
-
Privilege is a non-productive buffer for failure.
-
5 impactful books that can help you change your perspective and better develop yourself.
