In this episode of Work in Progress, Nicole Engelmann sits down with Tania Chakraborti to explore what it really means to build a business with authenticity. They dive into brand positioning and messaging, overcoming imposter syndrome, living in alignment, and the courage it takes to leave a secure job. Together, they discuss why slowing down often brings more clarity than chasing financial milestones.Host & guest info:
