Today I'm joined by Karen Gamba, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer at ExV Agency, a creative business development agency, and Founder of Women Building Women, a nonprofit that mentors and career counsels women from underserved communities.
Growing up in South Africa during the apartheid and being privileged enough to have the possibilities and the tools to succeed in corporate America, Karen developed a unique value system she then used to build her own career path and find fulfillment through her job.
Her truth is about why she wanted to get into corporate America and what made her want to leave. Other truths that set her free were the things she learned and discovered about herself in that process.
We talked about Karen's successful journey in corporate America and what made her pursue entrepreneurship, her experiences living in South Africa during apartheid. We also explore the importance of trusting and following our instincts and why it is more fruitful to visit our failures more often than our successes.
