Episode 3 with Carol Shih

Tradition Breakers

Today's episode of Tradition Breakers is really going to hit home for those of you who may not have been born into a supportive family dynamic.

My guest, Carol, had that experience. But you know what - she proves that that doesn't have to be a setback. She's going to tell us how that lack of family support actually led her to get so good at this one critical life skill that helped her create the life, the work, and the community that she now treasures today. Carol is such an excellent example of focus, self-awareness, and determination. She was born in Taiwan and came to the United States at the age of 19 to attend Cal State Long Beach. But her mission wasn't just to study here; it was really to stay and build a life here, and that's exactly what she did.

Fast forward to today, Carol has amassed an impressive knowledge and work experience in the world of e-commerce and tech. And that eventually led her to co-founding Qode Space, which is one of the top minority women-led Shopify and creative agencies here in Los Angeles. Carol is also a wife and a mom to a young toddler with another one on the way. So without further ado, here is my interview with Carol Shih.
