Manage episode 420045903 series 2868773
Welcome back to the Pivot With Purpose podcast, where we delve into the art of career transitions and finding your professional footing. I’m your host Meghan Houle and today I get to sit down with Danielle Stead Blanton! Danielle is an attorney and business operations strategist, working with early-stage businesses to provide the strategies, systems, and resources to grow and scale legally compliant, operationally efficient, and financially thriving businesses that create impact in clients' lives. Using her past experience as a D1 collegiate athlete, Nike-sponsored marathon runner, corporate attorney, and angel investor, Danielle has worked with hundreds of business owners across the globe to scale their business of their dreams, on their terms. She currently lives in her native Los Angeles with her husband, one-year old son, and husky!
In this episode, Danielle shares her personal journey of hitting rock bottom not once, but twice, and how she found the strength to rise from those experiences. From facing legal battles to dealing with betrayal, I’m so excited for the valuable insight and encouragement in this conversation for anyone who has faced adversity in their journey!
