On January 1, 2016 I launched the Dreams In Drive podcast.
Prior to that, I had no clue about the industry of podcasting. I had an idea and a dream and was determined to show up for myself and see what would happen.
Fast forward 5+ years and I've had over 250+ episodes, 220 + guests, 1 million + downloads, 40+ press features...and more...
I've been putting that dream into drive and haven't stopped yet.
Listen in to this week's episode to hear me reflect on the journey to now and all that I've learned along the way.

"When you limit your experiences, you limit yourself." Is it possible to start over and then start over again? Tricia Lee thinks so. After years of climbing the corporate ladder at Mac Cosmetics, Tricia decided to venture into entrepreneurship and launch what would become the widely popular - Polish Bar in Brooklyn, NYC. After learning the ropes of entrepreneurship and growing a thriving brand, Tricia was ready to move on... yet again. So, she did what most probably wouldn't and closed down shop to step into another world. Now, Tricia serves as a real estate broker and entrepreneur - helping others find their purpose and build new chapters in their own lives. Her journey wasn't linear, but isn't that what #dreamdriving is all about? Tricia shares, in detail, how she was able to navigate multiple career changes and why she's a believer in constantly chasing new life experiences.
