Description

Welcome back to the solo episode of the Dear Black CEO podcast with your host, Karl Sona!

In today’s solo episode, I will be talking about where I am at in my journey, which I think would be very helpful for anyone planning to exit the corporate world or having a career change—the difference between starting again vs. starting over, and also how to develop your personal core competency.

Let’s listen and dig more about the perspective of starting again and personal care competency.
