YOU WANNA DO WHAT?!: Personal Brand, Thought Leadership, Social Media Marketing For Mid-Career Professionals YOU WANNA DO WHAT, Monica Rivera

I don't have to tell you that 2020 has been far from perfect. But you've made it this far, through COVID and quarantine and phased re-openings. Maybe you lost your job, or even worse, a loved one. You became besties with an app named, Zoom.
Or maybe you haven't felt like celebrating at all. And that's understandable. Life wasn't meant to be lived like a real-life version of The Sims. You had plans. And those plans were tossed out the window. But that's why it's more important than ever before, to find your own light.

If you’re an aspiring beginner runner, a sometimes runner, or a wannabe runner that daydreams about running if only you had more energy, the right clothes, weighed less, fresh joints, more hours in your day, a plan to follow, or tips to get started, then today’s episode is a must-listen. The runners gliding through your local park might be enough to motivate you to head out on the road yourself, or maybe you’re just looking for a way to be more active or lose weight. But no matter why you want to start running, it’s time to lace up and enjoy every step, well, maybe not every step, but you'll get there.
For some backup, I invited the creator of the blog and Facebook group, FATGIRLRUNNING, Mirna Valerio to the show. Mirna is an ultramarathoner, teacher, National Geographic 2018 Adventurer of the Year, and author of the book, A Beautiful Work in Progress. 
And even if running never crosses your mind, something does. Something that u have wanted to try or succeed at, that until this point has eluded you. Keep listening, because there are some gems in today’s episode for you too. Practices and philosophies you can apply to whatever goal or item are on your to-do list.

"Do you think life will go back to normal after the pandemic?" Living in NYC, I get that question - a lot. With more than 30 million Americans filing for unemployment and deaths in the hundreds of thousands, what exactly is normal?
