Krissy Buck built a rewarding, and highly successful career in digital marketing travelling the world while having just a two-year degree.
If you’ve been discouraged when others have told you a four-year degree is required to be successful, Krissy’s story will encourage and motivate you.
She’s been an entrepreneur, helped build a startup technology company, and taught others how to achieve success through careers in digital marketing. And, she’s done even more.
Each of us has a unique career journey. Some of us will have advanced degrees. Others will have no college education.
Krissy has demonstrated how to be successful with no formal training as well as with a two-year associates degree. Now she is pivoting and continuing her education so she can help even more people be successful through digital marketing.
Her work history that took her around the world and then back home is fascinating and inspiring to me.
Check out this week’s episode and see if you agree.
