Everyone walks a unique career journey. No matter how "linear" it may look in their LinkedIn profile, it is never that simple. Most people that have careers you aspire to have had to struggle. They had their own obstacles and made their own luck. Some careers you dream about may not even be what you assumed it would be. All assumptions should be tested and that is what I seek to do in this podcast. Follow along as I interview people on what they actually do in their careers and why they made the jumps in their careers, some quite unorthodox.

#81 - Terrance Kwok, Product Manager at HyperComply. From Audit to Startup Sales Rep to Product Manager and Digital Nomad.
Join in for a conversation with Terrance Kwok, Product Manager at HyperComply. Terrance was one of the pivotal folks who recruited me to KPMG to start my accounting career. It’s been a while since then and today we go through Terrance’s journey from leaving accounting just before getting the Chartered Accountant designation to join a young Vidyard, before it became the 150+ tech company it is now, in an entry role in sales. We explore how he pivoted from sales to product management, working remotely in London, UK while working for a company based out of Kitchener and his subsequent journey being a digital nomad product manager at Chilipiper and HyperComply. This was a super fun conversation where we dove into what it was actually like to make each pivotal jump in Terrance’s career and how shame, embarrassment and doubt are all real and even normal emotions when you go through an unconventional career. Please forgive me on places where the audio quality isn’t as great as with COVID-19, Terrance was taking refuge in a hotel where the connection wasn’t the best. But, I promise it won’t change how fun this conversation will be for you!
