From Theater School to Solopreneur to Product Analyst: This is Amanda's Story
Manage episode 498640565 series 3662243
Meet Amanda - She's a SHINE alum who felt lost in her Product career but found the courage to test out a stint as an entrepreneur, then take an unexpected (but perfect!) role once she got clear on her unique career vision. She's an absolute star and it was so fun to catch up and hear how her new job has been going.
We talk about:
- How she transitioned into a Mental HealthTech start up (after being a teacher and then selling cowboy boots in rural Colorado 👢🤠)
- How working in Sales, Retail and e-Commerce was actually a perfect gateway to an Associate Product Manager role
- What it was really like to navigate a squiggly career path and imposter syndrome
- The real value of getting clear on her personal career vision
- Launching her business - real talk
- The ups and downs of her year as an entrepreneur and how it set her up for success in Product
- The move back to a stable, salary job in HealthTech
- How she picked between two very different job opportunities - P and Product Analyst
- Why prioritizing community was the unlock she didn't know she needed
