1. Success! Now what? Don Akchin 19:02

In her book Climbing Down the Ladder, Laura Black describes coming face to face with The Void – the great unknown once she had walked away from her company. Laura shares in this interview about:

* The nearly simultaneous shocks of experiencing “Retirement,” the Empty Nest, and the declining health of her parents.

* “Who am I without a business card?”

* A near-death experience that opened her to a different perspective.

* The freedom of having nothing left to prove.

You can learn more about Laura Black and her book on her website, laurablack.net.
