Do you ever wonder what it would be like to change careers? To take a giant leap and leave your current job to try something completely new? I know that so many of us in midlife start to have these questions, these fantasies, or simply desire a big change.
That is exactly why I am talking to my friend, Petra Langer, in this episode. She has pivoted her career two times and landed exactly where she feels like she belongs today, which, she says, is in a job you couldn’t have convinced her she would be doing when she started her career. Her story involves a tragic event in her life that led her down a new path, lots of introspection, vulnerability, risk taking, hard decisions, and plenty of success and joy.
She also gets very honest about the challenges of being an entrepreneur and hands out poignant advice to anyone considering it.
About Petra:
Born and raised in Marin County and now a proud San Francisco resident, Petra has spent the past 15 years living and working in the city by the Bay. After attending Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service in Washington D.C. and completing an MBA at UCLA Anderson Business of School, Petra moved back to San Francisco, the one place that always felt like home. Petra has proudly delved into the world of real estate on the building blocks of her deep Bay Area family roots, the invaluable experiences gained launching world-class marketing programs for companies like Google, Toyota, Cisco, and Nike and running FaceWest, her successful Marina District beauty studio. Joining Compass in 2021, Petra covers San Francisco and Marin County helping clients navigate one of the most dynamic real estate markets on the planet. When she takes off her realtor hat, Petra can be found walking with her two lovable dogs, out to dinner with her husband, Hayward, or in the kitchen working on her latest culinary creation.
