#005: Be a Lane Switcher with Lia Zneimer

Lia Zneimer is a former marketing VP, writer, author, theater kid at heart, and dog mom to Waffles.

She is working on her YA novel set at theater camp, while navigating the many swim lanes of her career and finding comfort in being able to go back and forth between in-house roles and working for herself (while writing her book)

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Giving ourselves the permission to define our own success in our career.
• Going back in house, and seeing that as part of a larger career ecosystem.
• Being theater kids (I promise, we move on quickly).
• Writing a novel, using the 'author' label before it's published, and having big dreams for where it can go.
• Being brave enough to examine your career and ask "do I like this or am I just good at it"
