Description

This week, I'm chatting with my dear friend and fellow Wharton MBA student, Temi Butler. Temi walks us through her impressive career journey, from navigating the high-stakes world of finance at top institutions to landing on Forbes 30 Under 30, and ultimately pivoting from a stable job to embrace her creative passions.
