Origin Story was created to tell the tales of underrepresented areas of professional life. There's so many stories that get eclipsed by a status quo that sees professional achievement, but does not identify how those people got there. Topics covered include the future of work, return to office, digital nomad life, age 40+, first generation students, military veterans, and more. Check out our videos on YouTube, Instagram, and Wordpress as well!
