On this episode of Salesman on Fire, Sheena Wildenhaus and Carson Heady discuss their journey into sales and their passion for their careers.

Sheena explains how her passion for sales stems from her childhood growing up in poverty in the Philippines.

She feels that sales is a fulfilling and humbling career that allows her to help others by solving their problems and challenges through the products and services she offers.

He discusses how life and the challenges faced by young people in the early stages of their careers can shape and motivate them. Sheena and Carson highlight how their paths into sales may have been different, but they both appreciate the lessons that sales has taught them and the fulfilling nature of the career.
