How to follow your passion and start a new career with Matchmaker and Entrepreneur - Kate Edwards

Before I can begin to introduce this week's guest you need to go check out her LinkedIn profile (click here) - you will notice one of the most creative and well-written summary's I have ever seen with a focus on five things:

1. I meet the coolest people
2. I do the coolest things
3. I hear the coolest stories
4. I make people happy
5. I do what I love, not what I’m supposed to

How would you like that as your "Job Summary"? That is exactly why I was so excited to share her story on this episode of The Happiness of Pursuit Podcast.

Kate talks about her life in pursuit of the American dream - an ivy league education, Internship at Facebook and MBA from UCLA, multiple VP Roles. It's the type of resume you see in future TECH CEO's, with one big exception. Kate chose to leave the 'typical' path to pursue something she was passionate about and not only joined a start up, but founded one of her own, Textpert, with previous HOP guest, Ray Christan.
