Accounted For

Join in for a conversation with Jordan Hill, the VP of Finance & Operations at #paid. #paid is a company that helps social media influencers get paid by matching them up with companies who want to advertise via influencers. With the continued polarization in the marketing world where we are seeing more leaders that dominate small niches this is a really interesting space to play in. Before #paid Jordan was a fellow Big 4 auditor but like many he knew this wasn't for him, in fact his partner told him this wasn't for him. After which, he went to be a career development coach. He was first solo then he teamed up with a partner to develop a product to essentially make a licensing product for organizations. We go through all the trial and tribulations of entrepreneurship ins these varying stages and also dig into what he actually does and why he actually wouldn't be doing what he is doing now if he tried to jump straight from accounting.

What is Accounted For?

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.
