Today, I had the sheer delight of sharing a virtual table with the one and only Angie Callen. And let me tell you, our chat was like a buffet of intriguing tidbits, seasoned with laughter and sprinkled with a dash of whimsy.
We kicked things off with the joys of food—because let’s face it, life is better with a fork in one hand and a witty anecdote in the other.
Angie, being the visionary she is, painted a vivid picture of her dream dinner party. Imagine this: a table set for Obama, Jesus, and Andrew Carnegie. And me!! Angie would be the culinary maestro, whipping up ravioli or a lasagna so divine it’d make angels weep (or at least ask for seconds).
As the imaginary wine flowed, so did the conversation. We covered everything from Colorado, CrossFit, Job-seeking, Ageism, quirky stuff, to the secret ingredient for success. And guess what? Angie’s got this superpower called Career Benders, where she helps folks break free from the mundane and leap into their full potential.
So, dear listeners, grab your headphones and join us on this rollercoaster ride of wit, wisdom, and maybe a few dessert recipe ideas.
