About this episode
The episode features a conversation between Virginia Hankins and Sequoia Leopold about transitioning from the beauty industry to becoming a flight attendant.
Join myself and Sequoia Leopold, a CFA for the last 2 years, and commercial flight attendant since 2022 prior to entering the private world. For Sequoia this has been a second venture after 18 years of owning and running a beauty studio. We talk about all the nuances and idiosyncrasies of coming from a different world into a vastly new one.
