Switch, Pivot or Quit

Switch, Pivot or Quit

One of the top business podcasts in a Google search. As your host who has been there and done that (P.S. my name is Ahyiana Angel) I'm providing an intimate look at navigating career transitions on your own terms. This pod is for the person seeking encouragement, inspiration + change in a life filled with demands on who you should be. I'm here for you when you're asking yourself, "What's next?!" I speak with experts, professionals, and day-to-day doers who have learned best practices through their journey with personal and professional development work. My journey consists of having successfully switched careers from a sports entertainment publicist to a published author and now I run my own podcast production company (Mayzie Media), and give motivational talks! My goal is and will always be to provide helpful advice when you're deciding if you need to Switch, Pivot, or Quit®. Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ahyiana.angel/
