I love telling people's stories. Stories of those pivoting to chase their entrepreneurial quests for success. Finding their passion and actually making it happen and the drive they have to help others in their own way. This episode is just that. About a woman in STEM. An engineer, turned financial advisor. A woman who through her own financial journey was driven to help other women, women in STEM, accomplish the same.

My guest, Sandra Park, a Texan born and raised engineer and now financial advisor, is dedicated to assisting women in STEM retire earlier. In 2016, she embarked on her personal finance journey to master money and now aims to accelerate the process for her fellow women in STEM.

We can all learn from each other’s journeys and we have a great conversation in this episode!

He founded his namesake firm, Jody Fisher PR, and created his unique “PR Garage” brand after the 2020 pandemic, insisting that “Every Story Needs Someone to Tell it.” 

And I can’t argue with that. Every story does need someone to tell it. But how do you get your story out to the right people, well you have to think like those you are pitching to. 

Jody will share what makes a good pitch, what you should do and what you should avoid because your story needs to resonate with those who need you.
