Having trouble letting go? Deiadora Blanche (Airbnb, Coursera)
can help. 


In this episode, we dive deep into the idea of ego detachment —
letting go of personal attachment to the work we do. Deiadora
shares her journey from business consulting to content strategy,
and how she’s learned to balance personal growth with
professional success.

leadership, and how content professionals can create their own
success by setting metrics and driving results. Plus, Deiadora
shares some incredible insights about AI content strategy — why
we need to engage with it, not fear it.
