Meet Yourself Where You Are At (feat. Chelsea Stephens)

On this week’s episode of ⁠⁠Power Pivots⁠⁠ [https://linktr.ee/powerpivots], Chelsea Stephens shares how she combined a budding interest in entrepreneurship and a “vice” of wine to pivot away from biomedical engineering after earning her Ph.D. - ultimately founding ⁠Vinstinct⁠ [https://vinstinct.co/], a platform helping casual, experiential wine consumers learn about wine in an approachable and engaging way.
