Welcome to Becoming BOLD where we have real conversations with passionate change-makers about their journeys to embracing their BOLD selves.
This is the podcast my younger self desperately needed. As an undiagnosed ADHDer, I fell through the cracks of the system. This is why I feel strongly about the need for more representation in entrepreneurship and more stories from the unconventional.
We can't be what we can't see.
Get ready for some BOLD conversations, and prepare to be entertained and inspired.
Hosted by LinkedIn Top Voice Amy Weidner as part of The BOLD Agency.
