Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts! “It doesn’t matter how old you are or what your experience is. You just have to have that little inner voice that says ‘I really want to do it’ and for a woman, ‘I think I can.’” - Wendy Pease Have you ever wondered what would be needed for you to leave corporate and become a business owner? Today’s Finding Brave guest is an expert in this topic, and I’m very excited because it’s an area we have not yet talked about in over 200 episodes of the podcast. Today, she shares how you can own a business and think global right from the start, as well as how to communicate across cultures and languages to expand your business in the process.   Wendy MacKenzie Pease is the owner and president of Rapport International, a translation and interpretation services company specializing in marketing, legal, and medical/life sciences translation.
