Slash Careers and Staying Grounded with Soleil Roth

by | Sep 10, 2019 | Podcast

“If you have all those slashes [in your job title], it’s actually a more representative look [at] who you are as a person. Because one job just doesn’t define you.”  –Soleil Roth

Award-winning travel and food blogger Soleil Roth explains how she created a “slash” career – and why having multiple roles doesn’t mean you’re flaky or not committed.
