Work That Feeds The Soul with Joanna Sharma | Ep. 23

My guest on this week’s episode of The True North Show is Joanna Sharma. Joanna shares with me how a placement in a tech start-up company during the time she was studying at University, opened the door for her to step into her power of the human side of marketing. She also talks about the challenges she faced when she first started her company, particularly the fact that she didn’t have as much freedom as she thought she would and how asking for help was so incredibly important.
