How I Lost Everything Then Built an Empire – Whitney Williams

Sales is more than just closing deals, the skills and opportunities you gain can take you anywhere. Our guest on Changing the Perception of Sales this week, Whitney Williams, is living proof of that.

Whitney’s career in sales began through a placement at a construction publication over a decade ago. This was where she developed her sales skills and sparked her passion for communication. That passion led her to build a thriving PR firm, working with clients across the world. But her path to success was anything but ordinary.

Before her first placement, Whitney faced adversity that few could imagine. After a difficult childhood, she found herself homeless and eventually serving time in prison. It was a turning point that reshaped her future. She shares how she rebuilt her life, turned setbacks into strengths, and used her sales career to forge a new path.

Beyond business, Whitney’s story is about resilience, mindset, and proving that your past doesn’t define your future. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and personal growth.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who needs a reminder that success is always possible – no matter where you start.
