I wanna rebroadcast this conversation I have had with one of my favorite Asian female leaders, Karen Coyne. Karen is a CFP, certified financial planner - she is not only a financial wizard, but a charming and engaging podcast host! Check out her podcast called fresh off the vine - the Podcast about money sometimes about wine and always about getting better with time. Yep it sounds so cool right - I totally just took that tagline from her podcast :) I really had so much time talking to her in this episode called “breaking the stereotype of the typical accountant” - in fact that really has been my mission and purpose of writing my book, my coaching and speaking. As you know, Accounting plays a critical role in every business, and it doesn’t have to be boring! I am passionate about this field not only because I am a CPA, it’s because I want you to know that if you can master this very powerful skill called accounting, a career in accounting and finance can be so fun and so dynamic that it would lead you to so many different professional pathways beyond your imagination!! I cannot believe we have recorded 29 episodes and there’s only one episode left for season 3. I wanna thank you so much for your support and all your kind notes - that’s the reason why despite my ridiculous schedule, I still wanna come hang out with you guys! And if I can ask you for a huge favor to please leave me a rating or review for my book and my podcast, it would mean so much to me and really help spread the word! Until next time, take care of yourself!
