WHAT IS SWITCH, PIVOT OR QUIT
The podcast is more than just career talk—it's a transformative journey into life's biggest transitions. Through intimate discussions with guests and personal insights, I guide listeners in exploring self-awareness, challenging societal expectations, and embracing necessary changes—whether that means switching careers, pivoting directions, or quitting what no longer serves them.

ABOUT ME
You Have to be Willing to be Seen in Order to be Successful
Thanks for taking a little time to get to know me!
I'm a business creative known for my fearless approach to career transitions. In 2018, I took a leap of faith and founded Mayzie Media, which started as one of the first Black woman-owned and operated podcast networks. Today, we've evolved into a boutique podcast production company where I get to help corporations amplify their voice and impact through the power of podcasting.
Speaking of, my own podcast "Switch, Pivot or Quit®" was born from my journey of transitioning from working in entertainment PR (former NBA Publicist) to published author. Trust me, that career switch was both terrifying and freeing! The show's feature in Apple's "Inspiring Women" collection was a beautiful validation of what happens when you bet on yourself. These days, you can find me sharing that message of reinvention on stages at places like Google and Spotify.
Whether it's through podcasting strategy or motivational speaking, I'm all about empowering others to share their stories, and their gifts, authentically and strategically.
