Episode description
Meet Amy Vaughan, CEO of Together Digital, a company focused on educating and empowering women within digital to be their best selves professionally and personally. As the first generation American of immigrant parents, Amy was taught early on she was expected to exceed and take advantage of the American dream. She set out to become a doctor but quickly realized this was not her path. At a loss for what was next, she paused school and began working full-time where she got exposed to the world of graphic design and advertising and she knew this was what she was meant to do. Over the next 13 years she would achieve tremendous success in her field. Then one day Amy began to realize that at some point the incredible career she had built had become misaligned with who she was.
On today’s episode we discuss:
- The importance of Seeking mentorship at times of big decisions
- Realizing Money and Title do not equal happiness
- Getting Laid off at 8 months pregnant
- Numbing through work rather than deal with the knowing that advertising was no longer her path
This and so much more. Enjoy!
