Summary
“I had the comfy corporate job, making over 6 figures with all the great benefits and now I’m coming to my husband saying - I want to give that all up and take the biggest risk of my life.” In this week’s episode, host Nikki Closser is joined by Karianne Munstedt, a successful portrait photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona. Listen as Karianne shares how she went from being an Assistant Dean at a University to taking the biggest risk of her life and starting a portrait business. After spending 17 years in a career that didn’t fulfill her passion, Karianne started digging deep in photography and absorbing everything she could to further her portfolio. In 2015 Karianne discovered Sue Bryce and her whole world changed. After joining Sue Bryce Education, Karianne was able to not only leave her corporate job but was able to afford to let her husband stay at home with their newborn son. If you’re on the fence about making a life-changing career decision, this is a can’t miss episode!
