Tess Vigeland is a veteran journalist and a well-known voice to millions of American radio listeners. For eleven years, Tess was the host of Marketplace Money. Tess is also the author of: Leap: Leaving a Job with No Plan B to Find the Career and Life You Really Want.

“I am not the only one who has externally the most incredible career, opportunity and love for what I do and yet still wonders what else must be out there,” says Tess in this episode.
