29. Knowledge that never goes to waste + Looking at your career as an experience and not as an end goal w/ Maria Burgos
05/22/23 • 47 min
In this episode, we have a special guest, Maria Burgos, who is a mentor willing to share her knowledge, experience, and personal journey with us. Maria provides valuable insights on career exploration and encourages us to think outside the box. She discusses the latest trends and highlights the unique characteristics of our generation compared to previous ones when it comes to careers. Maria's own career path is a testament to combining passion, skills, and purpose, as she has started three companies and held sales and marketing positions aligned with her passion for helping others. Her experience of living in four different countries has given her a deep understanding that despite our origins, we share more similarities than differences.
Maria's expertise in problem-solving with a creative approach, gained from working in diverse industries and challenging economic environments, adds value to her mentorship.
She is the founder of Trendy Seconds, a company that promotes responsible fashion consumption among women. Maria is a firm believer in the interconnectedness of people and advocates for second chances, a topic she addressed in her TEDx Countdown talk in Houston last October. Without further delay, let's begin our insightful conversation with Maria.
