116. Education for Personal Development—College, Masterclasses, Podcasts, and Books

LaKaye Mbah is a fine-art photographer who specializes in editorial style portraits. Using magazine layouts and her client’s personalities as guides, she strives to bring out the best version of everyone she photographs. She photographs women, high school seniors, families, and business imagery.
In this episode, I’ve invited my good friend Lakaye Mbah back (listen to episode 05) to chat about education for personal development. We discuss decisions that go into returning to school and how we’ve both benefited from our college experience. We walk you through other forms of education to include masterclasses, books, and podcasts—of course, we provide you with a list of some of our favorites.
Personal development is defined as activities that improve awareness and identity, develop talents and potential, build human capital, facilitate employability, and enhance the quality of life and the realization of dreams and aspirations. Personal development can take place over the course of a person’s entire life.
