It's never too late to make a change. I just had my daughter 14 months ago, and a couple of months ago I was questioning a lot of things in my life. I think it was a little bit of postpartum depression. One day, I just understood that I was experiencing so many changes, and maybe it's just time to take a new step, to do something different, to find value in another place. I started to think about what I need to do to change how I feel in my career, to get more challenged. That's where the opportunity to join Endpoint Digital appeared, and I also realized I have an unfulfilled purpose to serve others through what I know about leadership. That's when I started thinking about my podcast. I'm 37 years old right now, and I don't even think that the number can determine how fit you are to do something. It's never too late to start. I just decided one day while I was getting my baby to sleep that I was going to start writing what I want to do. I started writing the script for the podcast, and as soon as my baby fell asleep, I came to my office and started recording myself. I shared it with my husband and my oldest daughter, and they were like, oh my god, that's amazing, people would love to hear about that. I just decided to take the step and start my own podcast. It's never late, and it's never the right moment either. You can think about wanting to do this or that, but needing to save money first or do another thing first. You just need to get started. That's it.

I think there's a lot of new technologies coming out, so probably staying up to date with everything and making sure that where you focus your energy is the most relevant field. You see now with artificial intelligence, every single day there are more and more and more tools available. So making sure that you spend the energy in the right tools, ensuring that you are getting the best value of everything you learn, I think that's one of the biggest challenges. And there's not enough people to do everything we have to do right now. Right now at Endpoint Digital, we are hiring because there's a lot of needs in the data and analytics and AI space, so that's also a challenge.

I think transparency, humility, and being able to be vulnerable. I think that's key for everything. You can be an amazing person, you can know a lot of things, but when you are not humble enough to put yourself in somebody else's shoes, I don't think the relationships can really grow. And also, always be transparent with your word, do what you say, commit to what you are saying, everything, always. That, to me, is super important. So, humility, transparency, and vulnerability.
