When we talk about the science of self made success, we're not just talking about sales, marketing, and data analytics. We're also talking about things that are difficult to quantify—the human being behind the business, the one whose heart and soul makes all of the magic happen—yes, we’re talking about you. In today's episode, we are sitting down with one of my favorite poets, authors and actors, Arielle Estoria, to dig into the process of unfolding to discover who you were always meant to be.
