Equal parts teacher, connecter, and founder, Darrah Brustein stands for entrepreneurial empowerment. In the fall of 2018, Darrah launched "Life by Design, Not by Default" sharing stories with visionaries like Deepak Chopra, Adam Grant and Jen Sincero in a 45-speaker online summit reaching over 7,000 people. For the past 10 years, she founded and scaled two businesses in tandem: a networking events company serving 30,000+ people and a payment processing company spanning 38 states. A prolific writer and interviewer, Darrah's thought leadership articles on lifestyle design have been read by over 1 million people across Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Thrive Global. Her motivating motto "build a life of your own design, a career to fund it, and a network to support it" has inspired thousands to reach higher and dream bigger. She was even named "#1 to follow" by BossBabes. Most recently, Darrah launched the video series "Diving Deep With Deepak & Darrah" to make deep topics relatable and translatable into your life. In this episode Darrah and I discuss... What to do when you sense it's time for a change. How to genuinely build a network that will happily work for you. Relationship building tools to achieve the success you're hoping to (and how to connect with anyone you want to meet). Action steps to take you from an ordinary existence to living the life of your dreams.
