A Stranger's Instagram Post Changed My Life. That's Why I Started a Podcast. | Cheryl Lau

In 2018, a stranger's Instagram post stopped me mid-scroll. She had just quit her corporate job to start a business, and something about the way she wrote it gave me the courage I didn't know I needed. That person was Vanessa Lau. That post was why I eventually started this podcast.

In this solo episode, I share what's working on EDIT HISTORY right now, one thing I'm doing differently, and one experiment I'm running - including a new episode structure I'm testing called the Stone Age, the Renaissance, and the Present Day.

I also answer two listener questions: why I stopped talking about leaving law school (and then talk about it in full), and why I chose podcasting specifically as my medium.
