Join Ama Karikari-Yawson for this three part series analyzing and responding to the following questions. Are you hungry for more out of life? Do you have a deeply engrained passion which you have expressed through a side business that is completely unrelated to the job that you do from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. five days per week? Is your desire to pursue that business or passion project growing stronger each day, but you do not believe that you can quit your job because of the financial obligations that you have to yourself, your spouse, and or your children?

In this dynamic series on WBAI, Ama Karikari-Yawson, Esq., the author of Sunne's Gift and the founder of Milestales Publishing and Education Consulting,  will describe the five steps that she used to quit her six figure job as a corporate attorney for a large financial institution so that she could answer her calling to empower communities through storytelling. 

She will interview luminaries in the field of personal development, entrepreneurship, and finance, while also providing opportunities to hear from “everyday people” who found the courage to quit and live in purpose.  Listeners will also be able to call in to share their own journies via the telephone lines.
