First Degree Connections ft. Sean Stevenson and Amar Flora
We all know the story of Cinderella. She was left at home to clean up while her step-mother and step-sisters went to the prince's ball. A fairy godmother showed up and helped send her to the ball, eventually leading to her getting married to the prince and having a happy life.
While not as dramatic, most successful people met someone along the way that had a profound impact on their career.
We at First Degree Connections want to tell the stories of these 'Career Fairies'. We interview successful people from various industries to talk about the key people that significantly impacted their career.
In this episode we interview two guests:
