Episode 48: Emily Aborn

No Wrong Turns Pod

On our 48th episode we have Emily Aborn. Emily was born and raised in New Hampshire and Maine. She, her husband, her dog Clyde live in NH today. She would consider her job to be her passion but when she pauses she enjoys curling up with a good book, last year she read 43 books. Emily has experience in several different fields such as working in restaurants, many chiropractic offices and even owning and running an organic mattress store. Through all of her experiences we will see how most of them are linked together with a passion of hers, marketing. All of her experiences have led her to where she is today being a content writer and owner/founder of She Built This. You are for sure going to want to hear Emily’s story as she highlights her passions of content writing, cultivating community and entrepreneurship.

PODCAST RECOMMENDATION

Hey Listeners! Some of you may have heard a big part of my story on how I started this podcast. During my day job I get to listen to podcasts all day long. The ones I really enjoy are ones that encompass someone’s story and their passion(s). Since I am an avid podcast listener I wanted to start sharing podcasts and podcast episodes that I have enjoyed and that I think you will enjoy as well.

One podcast that I am currently binging is The Dropout. I had started listening to this pod when it first came out and I recently saw that it covers her trial which already happened. Quick summary Elizabeth Holmes created Theranos, which was supposed to help blood testing be quick, cheaper and less painful. She was at one point deemed the youngest self-made female billionaire, but then she lost it. I enjoy this podcast because of the in depth research and interviews that this podcast walks us through as it unpacks this story. If you are interested in a gripping story of money, romance, tragedy and deception I highly recommend putting this in your podcast queue.
