Direction Over Perfection with Kate Crane

business, careers · EN

Direction Over Perfection is a podcast for anyone in the middle of building their career — whether you're just getting started, navigating a pivot, or figuring out what comes next. Forget the ladder. Careers are jungle gyms — and the women I interview have figured out how to move through them with intention, creativity, and resilience. They're full of unexpected turns, bold leaps, and moments that only make sense in hindsight. This podcast is a front-row seat to those stories. Each episode, I talk with women who've built their careers their own way — tracing the path from their first job to where they are now, and all the pivots in between. We go beyond the résumé to understand the whole person: what drives them, what grounds them, and how their life outside of work shapes everything inside it. The goal isn't a perfect plan. It's the next right step — and the confidence to take it.
