What if walking away from your polished product career was the exact move you needed to grow?

In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc and Ben sit down with Jori Bell to explore her unconventional journey from PM roles at Spotify, SoundCloud, and Audible to building a coaching practice, curating intimate community spaces, and teaching at Cornell Tech. After two years of self-exploration and reinvention, Jori is now bringing her rediscovered superpowers—curiosity, empathy, and intuition—into her new role at Hampton, helping founders and CEOs cultivate meaningful peer connections.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone considering a career pivot, rethinking their relationship with work, or exploring how product skills can show up in unexpected, high-impact ways.
