Ana Bibikova on how Introverts can be perfect sales people, experiencing burnout, and being a digital nomad.

“Introverts can be perfect sales people and better marketers, but the problem is that we get overwhelmed when socializing, but not because we can’t read social queues. But that we read too much of them.” This is from my conversation with Ana Bibikova, startup consultant and aspiring founder.
