Episode Summary
Misha Bleymaier-Farrish opens up to host Meg McKeen about her unique career path - and pivots - and finding fulfillment in the ebbs and flows of life. We honor the importance of celebrating achievements, the concept of "shiny objects" in entrepreneurship, and the outdated notion that work *must* make you miserable. Misha is an inspiring entrepreneur and author and you'll be glad you slowed to listen to this conversation!

noteworthy quotes
“GSD is not just get shit done, it's a deeper meaning.” [16:55-16:58]
“As I met with other publishers and different things, once I got home, I was like, you know what? I want to do this my way. I want to do this with my voice, and I want to retain my intellectual property. Because my words mean something, and I want to retain that, especially as a woman. And so I decided to self publish. But I went one little step further. I said we have GSD Factor LLC, but we actually ended up doing GSC Factor Publishing, LLC. So that now the book is published under its own publishing firm. And what's happened now is now other authors are coming to me saying, can you help me write my story? What does this path in this journey look like?” [23:15-24:05]
“When I look at the projects that I'm doing, I love speaking, I love having conversations, but it's only remembered in that moment or a little bit after that moment. Whereas with a book, it's there. It's a timeless asset that I have to my name”. [27:27- 27:46]
