Dani Fankhouser got her first full-time job thorough a Craigslist search. When she graduated undergrad during the recession, she couldn't find a company to hire her. So Dani decided to go to grad school in journalism and started to pursue her curiosities. She taught herself Ruby, completed a 200-hr yoga program, created a social network for enthusiasts, wrote an ebook and is currently pitching her second to publishers.
Dani is clearly someone who gets shit done. She sets a goal and works on achieving it through a systematic approach. She wanted to pay off her student loans so she decided to scale down and figure out creative ways in order to do that. Dani shares you never know where your opportunities will emerge so be open, keep searching and explore your curiosities -- and soon you'll discover what you're interested in.
Today's episode is a bit about money and a bit about life. We talk about how to land that first job, how to pay off your student loans, how to analyze your finances and how to start a side hustle. Dani also shares some ideas of how you can start exploring your own (hint - it’s easier than you think).
