Corporate Brand Strategist Turned Author: Amanda Sapp

Today I got the chance to interview my friend Amanda Sapp. Amanda used to work corporate, and now consults for brands but also self published her own novel: Something of Yourself.

What began as a tactical conversation about career transitions and self publishing a book quickly evolved into something far more meaningful: a wide ranging exploration of how modern society has quietly steered us away from contentment, and what it actually takes to find our way back. Amanda brings a sharp, thoughtful lens to human behavior that makes this one worth your full attention.

You can find the full episode in the "Past Experts Section" of the classroom.
