In this episode of the Voted Least Likely Podcast, I’m joined by Vanessa Bucceri, founder of Vanessa Bucceri Creative, who shares how she used her data skills to map out a thoughtful exit strategy from her corporate job and step confidently into entrepreneurship. We talk about what it really takes to trust yourself in business, how intuition and strategy go hand in hand, and the reality of making a creative pivot in your career. Vanessa opens up about the early days of building her brand and web design studio, the lessons she’s learned working with over 90 clients around the world, and how she helps style-forward entrepreneurs show up with confidence online. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a role that no longer fits, or you’re craving a creative leap, this one’s for you.
