Being authentic to yourself - All human beings experience fear, but how you react to it determines your life. Today, we explore Molly McManamon's journey from no degree to hospitality and later to sales as an Account Development Representative at Unmind.

In this episode, Molly talks to us about her tech-sales journey, overcoming her fear, the impact of being authentic to yourself, her experience in her first sales job, and why her career break to Kenya was important to her. In addition, she attributes her role as an ADR at Unmind to the power of networking and why everyone should build a strong LinkedIn profile.
