Send us Fan Mail What you wear communicates something before you ever say a word. For mid-career professionals, personal style is not simply about following trends or buying expensive clothes.

In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I sit down with Caden Broussard and Jinny Chen, co-founders of Cello, to explore how professional style affects confidence, credibility, executive presence, and career advancement. Caden and Jinny share how they made their own mid-career pivots from finance and technology into entrepreneurship.
