“I went through a period probably for about six months where I was crying multiple times a day.”

Dorie Clark shares the story of the hardest year in her life – both personally and professionally. After a nasty breakup, Dorie had to move back from New York to her home base of Boston – and after her return, her beloved cat died. On top of all this, Dorie had book deal obligations to fulfill.

Dorie shares how she made it through that year and how she built her career – including how she got regular writing work for the Harvard Business Review (spoiler alert: it involves a fancy bike).
