Episode notes

Amis O'Brien and Tori Speaks are taking a break from their podcast. The pair will be back soon, but for now they're going to miss you all. They'll see you at your markets or come have lunch with them.

Our free-spirited, entrepreneurial co-host is applying advice from all our episodes on side gigs, freelancing, starting a small business — and quitting — to her own life. Emily reflects on her decision to leave her design job at HBR to fully focus on a long-time creative passion, as well as how she’s thinking about her career going forward.
