This week Andrew talks with national bestselling author Annabel Monaghan. In college, Annabel studied English at Duke University — but didn’t immediately pursue a career as a novelist. Instead, she went on to get an MBA & spent the beginning of her career in investment banking. Eventually, Annabel pivoted back to writing — and ultimately became a bestselling author. This conversation is filled with powerful ideas about being true to yourself, following your passions, developing new ideas, filtering out things that impede your success, & so much more.
