A PAID JOB YOU LOVE AND THRIVE IN | How IKIGAI Can Help You Find Your Calling!

cwong0102Leave a comment

Friends and family always wondered how I always seemed to know what I want and where I see myself in 5, 10, 20, or even 30+ years. The thing is, I DON’T. But what I do know is Ikigai. I’ve been using it to help guide me into a life of happiness and purpose, but no matter how much you think you know what your life is set for, it’s important to always be flexible and pivot. I show you how I apply it and things to look out for. And also, what the heck is Ikigai?

This could be used for careers and side hustles. I get the question a lot on how to find a good paid job that you love, and this is good for this and how I stay on the right direction!

New podcast episode out interviewing Erika LaCasse!
https://linktr.ee/christinepodcast

Erika graduated from Cornell at the start of the COVID19 pandemic and returned home to live with family in hopes to start a new entrepreneurial venture! While working alongside with her father, CassCaps was born! The best inventions are the ones that solve problems you didn’t know you had, and CassCaps was definitely one of them. They raised around $90,000 on Kickstarter and Backerkit with 650% of their goal during the COVID19 pandemic! In October of 2020, she will also start her job as a consultant at McKinsey in New York City. McKinsey is lucky to have her!

Check it out and make sure to also pre-order some CassCaps while you’re at it! I know I will. 😏

New podcast episode now out on Collin Miller! We will be doing a LIVE Q&A on him for the Technology Consulting Community! In addition, they are accepting applicants for internships, so if you’re interested in being at the forefront of AI, make sure to join the event! That will be booked soon.

Collin Miller has a very untraditional career path where he started off with an associate’s degree in metal welding, and then pursued a bachelor’s degree in computer science. Finding his love in computer science, he wanted to pursue his lifelong aspirations to “provoke genuine productive emotions.” Based in Los Angeles, he first started off working with robotics in the aerospace industry, and then shortly after that, he founded a startup in artificial intelligence called nFlux.ai along with his team from California State University Northridge where he studied computer science. Founding a startup at age 26 is incredibly impressive, so I want to share his story and journey with you all!

How YOU Can Get Affordable Housing Lottery in NEW YORK CITY! (TUTORIAL)

cwong0102Leave a comment

Something I realized not a lot of people knew about is that people of medium income can also get Affordable Housing. In NYC, there is a long and winding process, but I break it down in this video. Landlords get a 421a tax abatement. This is one way to save lots of money on rent! It was also how my boyfriend and I saved money to eventually buy a condo. Going to miss living in this newly constructed apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn!
