QLC 092: Following Your Own 20-Mile Road with Charlotte Moncrieff

Today I’m excited to welcome Charlotte Moncrieff to The Quarter Life Comeback podcast.

Charlotte Moncrieff is the Editor-in-Chief of The Twenty Mile Club, a site that encourages readers to realize the various entrepreneurial opportunities available, while also allowing them to see that they’re not alone in whatever stage they happen to be in their twenties.

After graduating University, Charlotte assumed she’d simply have to choose between a variety of job offerings. But she quickly realized that things don’t happen quite so easily.

After a conversation with a stranger in which she tried to look more impressive than her reality really showed, Charlotte decided to create a platform which helped others navigate this stage of their lives.

She quit her job, left London, reduced her living expenses and took a part-time job which allowed her to build The Twenty Mile Club in her spare time.

The site’s primary goal is to seek out and interview entrepreneurial and innovative twenty-somethings in order to inspire and help others understand the steps that these twenty milers have taken in order to achieve success.
