Summary

“Don’t be afraid to share your story and struggles with other people because (I’m sure) other people are dealing with it themselves.” I was so glad that content creator, self made entrepreneur and storyteller, Iris Chen was able to join me at my home before flying back to the East Coast after a whirlwind podcast tour in California. Iris didn’t choose the traditional path of life. She understood that she needed to make a huge change in order to pursue the career she wanted. Her resume is a testament to her talent. With names like Gary Vaynerchuk, Damon John and the Fung Bros as past employees and collaborators, this inspiring 24 year old is crystal clear on what she wants in her professional and personal life.
