About this episode

I love this quote so much I have to repeat it: “I can’t ask for permission. I just need to do it.” 

That’s what Holly said when she decided to draft a proposal for a copywriting position and present it to her boss …

… even though she was working a full-time customer success position.

… even though she was well aware she had bills to pay and this was a “risk.”

That proposal? It was rejected.

But you’ll want to listen to this one to hear the full story and—spoiler!—happy ending.
