Welcome to So Money.

Everyone, I'm your host, Farnish Terabi.

You know, we always say that it's very difficult to be an entrepreneur, to start your own company, especially these

days with so much competition. Our guests today actually received 148 rejections

from investors to invest in her company. I mean I think most people

would take that as a sign that you either have to pivot or just scrap the idea altogether

and start fresh but our guest Catherine Minchou who's the

founder and CEO of the Muse did not give up and in fact not only is the Muse today, she is also out with a new book that captures all of the findings, all of the perspectives that the Muse, which is a career platform, has gathered on how to land that dream job, how to learn

professional skills and how to take your career to the next level. The book's

called The New Rules of Work, the Modern Playbook for navigating your career and Catherine and her business partner

Alexandra Kavylacos offer a guide for the Modern Workplace.

A little bit more about Catherine, so clearly she's not a quitter. She's been named as smart

Rwanda with the Clinton Health Access Initiative,

and she also worked as a consultant at McKinseyan Company.
