Paige Arnof-Fenn had it all on paper—degrees from Stanford and Harvard, a resume packed with global brands like Microsoft, Coca-Cola, and Virgin. But behind the polished success was a deeper truth: she was tired of doing work that didn’t light her up.
So she did the unthinkable.She walked away from the big titles, the prestigious boardrooms, and the soul-draining hustle… to build something that actually felt right.
In this powerful conversation, Paige opens up about how she traded corporate conformity for meaningful impact—founding Mavens & Moguls, a global marketing firm with heart at the center. She shares why she once fired her biggest client, what it means to market with integrity, and how true leadership starts with values, not vanity metrics.
🎧 If you’ve ever felt stuck doing work that doesn’t reflect who you are—or wondered whether it’s possible to build success without selling your soul—this one’s for you. 💫
