In Control at 50+ with Kerry Hannon
Throughout our own careers, we’ve seen tremendous changes in the business landscape. From cubicles to open floorplan office factories, a cocktail at lunch to lunch at our desks, overtime to overworking. While the evolution is apparent, nothing could have prepared us for the new way to work post-pandemic.
Our guest today, Kerry Hannon, has been reporting on business and finance for years and has seen many of these shifts up close and personal. Listening to our discussion today will brighten your day. Kerry is an incredible optimist and believes in and inspires women to purposefully craft their own futures.
Kerry shares so many incredible stories with us. Hear how she does ‘it all’ as an author, contributor, speaker, and columnist, how an interview with a Navajo rug weaver opened her eyes to the importance of loving what she does, and the importance of financial security.
