Carving Your Own Career Path with Daisy Burns-O'Keefe

Introducing the host and facilitator, Daisy Burns-O'Keefe! In this conversation I sat down to share exactly how the INNER AVENUE Podcast became my latest creative venture outside my 9-5 as a Digital Marketer, and what it's all about.

I'll also touch on more personal topics like pushing through anxiety disorder, solo travel, and what they have to do with making the most of your time at university. I'll also spill the beans on how I got into Digital Marketing and doing an apprenticeship after getting my degree.

Tune in to hear my thoughts on navigating creative careers, turning your life into a creative project and the art of self-confidence.
