On the latest episode of Wake Up Excited!, I talk with my friend Christine Vallaure. Christine is a designer, speaker, and the founder of moonlearning, an online learning platform for UI and product design. She’s also the author of the book Solo, which is a practical guide to building and running digital products as a company of one.
I first met Christine at a conference and immediately felt like I already knew her. Christine is a rare breed: highly ambitious yet also really grounded, human, and humble. As you’ll find out, she cares about work and life in equal measure, and her love for her family is inspiring.
In our conversation we talk about:
- how a “good day” is one that feels balanced
- agency, autonomy, and matching your personal style to the work you pursue
- the difference between ambition and competition
- finding fulfillment in the work rather than the promise of future goals
- finding your people and your niche
