I should have posted this weeks ago
so here's the link to the Huffington Post article written by Julia Moulden that mentions my role as a New Radical Entrepreneur.
so here's the link to the Huffington Post article written by Julia Moulden that mentions my role as a New Radical Entrepreneur.
I was introduced to Divine Caroline, a place where "women rule and all the things that matter to them can be covered every which way" by Rob Mee of Pivotal Labs. Pivotal is an awesome team of Ruby on Rails developers who worked on Divine Caroline and also helped my partner and I create Bring Light. I love the variety of content on Divine Caroline, and how easy the site is to use.
Today the article for Divine Caroline that I had written about Julia Moulden, the author of New Radicals book, was featured here.
I am so honored to be one of the New Radicals featured in Julia Moulden’s fantastic book, We are the New Radicals: A Manifesto for Reinventing Yourself and Saving the World, which was just published last month. And it was tremendously inspiring to meet many of the other New Radicals at the book launch event in New York City a few weeks ago - not to mention finally getting to meet Julia in person.
I had spoken to Julia on the phone several times as she interviewed me for the book last spring, and based on our conversations, I was really looking forward to meeting her. She’s an accomplished writer who coined the term New Radical as a way to define the emerging trend of ordinary people (just like you!) finding ways to do good in the world. On top of that she’s engaging, energetic, funny and articulate - just the kind of person you want more of in your life.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I starting reading her book (and I never got used to seeing myself quoted, even when I knew it was coming) but wow - was I impressed by what a great job she did. Julia’s writing style is so appealing and she thoughtfully presents the unique stories of the New Radicals she spoke to, interweaving their experiences and insights into a compelling narrative. She also provides practical advice and examples of what you can do to join the New Radical movement - whether you want to embark on a completely new path, as I did, or just reinvent yourself in your current career.
I’ve already recommended the book to several friends who’ve told me how much they’ve enjoyed it. Check out Julia’s website and learn more about how to order the book and how you can become a New Radical too.
