Brittany Hammond A Canadian Expat Navigating France

09/05/20 • 37 min

Welcome back! Let’s take a walk around Paris, adopted home of Brittany Hammond Producer, Story Mentor and Videographer.

Always ambitious Brittany always had an inkling her future lay in France, daring bravely she applied to study film and got accepted. Knowing that this is the place where she wanted to be this Enterprising Expat gained two Masters Degrees, was one of the early adopters of building a business online and now travels across Europe and to North America to work with her clients.

Behind the glamour, there are wrangles with bureaucracy, strange business hours and the barrier of different attitudes to being self-employed.

Let Brittany tell you how she:

Overcame imposter Syndrome and what caused it
Creating a job title when pre-defined roles don’t capture what you do
Celebrates her ambition and success as she’s overcome playing small
Why she had to get 2 Masters degrees to build her business
Having a shadow career ?? (Listen to find out what that is!!)

I’d love to continue the conversation, do you have a question about the episode?

Please share the episode with another expat - so that we can all bloom where we are planted.

Cheers

Eleanor An American in Munich

I'm back! Episode 17 is a hoot!

I got the chance to speak with Eleanor Mayrhofer an American who decided to visit Germany for a year and hasn't returned.

We are taking you back to the nineties when tech was meeting art and Photoshop was becoming popular.

Eleanor got the travel bug early traveling to India with her aunt, after college she decided to go to Germany for one year and hasn't returned.

We cover stepping out of the comfort of the expat bubble, building a business and the hard decision to close it down.

Sometimes the answer to what you should do is right in front of you you just have to tweak it a little bit.
