Boundless: The Human Side Of Work

At each professional crossroad, Nina Simon has made the choice most likely to disappoint her mother. She left an electrical engineering job at NASA to design spy museum exhibits, said goodbye to a museum directorship to start a global movement for more inclusive cultural organizations, and now has put down her CEO hat to write crime fiction. Her first novel, Mother-Daughter Murder Night, will be published in 2023 by William Morrow. Nina lives off the grid in the Santa Cruz mountains with 20 people, 16 chickens, 2 trampolines, and 1 zipline.We talk about:Leaving her dream jobLiving in an intentional "off the grid" communityWhat she learned from her ambitious days as a museum industry leaderMarriage & kids on an unconventional pathWriting her novelWATCH On YouTubeFOLLOW NINAHer Website: NinaSimon.comTwitter: @ninaksimonTIMESTAMPS0:00 Audio intro0:12 Introduction1:37 The scripts Nina grew up with4:43 Did Nina see herself as creative growing up?5:39 Nina's education and why she hated her dream job at NASA12:1
