If you’ve ever experienced unemployment you understand the fear and even PTSD it can create. Having the rug pulled from beneath your career and finances can leave you reeling and wondering what the future holds. It can also be a blessing in disguise, nudging some of us toward an entrepreneurial path. This week’s guest Rakia Reynolds (@rakiareynolds) founder and CEO of Skai Blue Media (www.skaibluemedia.com), is no stranger to braving the business owner trail. Her brief experience with unemployment led her to ask herself how she could prevent having her world turned upside down ever again. How could she ensure that her children would grow up financially secure? How could she stake her claim in an industry that didn’t necessarily have a designated space for all of her gifts and talents? There was no choice but to carve that space for herself. If you’re asking yourself the same questions, you DEFINITELY need to hear this episode.
