You're listening to the CIPA to CEO podcast, episode 96. Hey, guys, Ellen here. I am really excited for today's episode. I have a real treat for you. Instead of me interviewing a guest or recording my own solo episode, I am actually the one in the interview seat today. And my friend Tiff Chang is going to be interviewing me. So this episode is actually one that was

0:24.0

published on her own podcast, which I highly recommend. If you love business podcast, you're going to

0:29.1

love hers. Hers is called Become an Entrepreneur. And I just felt like it was such an honest

0:36.9

conversation about what it's really like to leave your

0:41.8

full-time job, leave the corporate or cubicle world, and go out full-time on your own as an

0:47.9

entrepreneur, as the CEO of your business. And there's a lot about my story that I shared

0:53.3

with her in our original conversation that I feel like I've never really talked about on this podcast, even just touching on, you know, growing up what it was like as a first generation Asian American. You know, I immigrated here from, from China with my family when I was very young and how that experience molded

1:13.6

me up to things like ultimately what decisions led me to leaving my corporate job, why I believe

1:20.5

your comfort zone is like a wolf and sheep's clothing, how to ditch the employee mindset for good,

1:26.5

my number one strategy in business, which has

1:29.5

nothing to do with marketing at all, which I think you guys will really enjoy some of the

1:34.9

tips that I have to share around that. And just so many other things that I've learned

1:40.9

along the journey going from cubicle to CEO. There's a ton of good advice in here

1:47.0

that I just really felt like you guys would benefit from and I wanted to be able to share it

1:51.7

with you all. So I just want to thank Tiff real quick for letting me republish this episode on our

1:57.6

show. And again, if you are a podcast listener, definitely go check out TIF's podcast

2:02.2

too. It is Become an Entrepreneur. And if you want to connect with her on Instagram, her handle is

2:08.7

at it's Tiff Chang, C-H-E-M-G. Her website is the same name. I'll link all of her stuff below

2:15.1

if you want to go say hi. But without further ado, let's just

roll this episode. Enjoy.
