About this episode
Do you think that you are living in a dress rehearsal?
This is a one-act play called your life. What kind of role do you want to play? Because you don't get to do this again.
The genesis of living a meaningful life is knowing what success means to you and stripping away the obligations that are no longer in service of that meaning. Of course, success is about more, but it's not about the more we think. Success is more of what matters.
Karen Mangia knows the true meaning of success and how you can have success from anywhere.
Karen is one of the most sought-after keynote speakers in the world, sharing her thought leadership with over 10,000 organizations during the course of her career.

She serves on multiple boards, including the Racial Equality & Justice Taskforce. She is the author of four books: the newly released Success From Anywhere, Listen Up!, Working from Home, and Success With Less.
