<p>Some stories start with a camera. Tarah Paul’s began at home — inside a family where excellence wasn’t just encouraged, it was expected. With a father who juggled study sessions and grueling work shifts to give his kids a shot at something greater, Tarah learned early that pressure can turn into purpose.</p><p>In this first of a two-part conversation, Tarah reflects on how that foundation shaped her — from finding her voice through photography, to navigating leadership roles with poise and intention. Her path eventually led to UPENN, and now, a creative career at Adobe. But more than titles, this episode explores the <em>how</em> — the people, the pivots, and the persistence.</p><p>Tarah’s journey is a testament to collaboration, drive, and trusting the process.<br />Part two drops next week — and dives even deeper.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sponsor: </p><p><br /></p><p>Spectra Blue Light Glasses: <a href="https://spectra479.com/ccpod" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠https://spectra479.com/ccpod⁠⁠</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Patreon:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/CultureConnectors" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/CultureConnectors</a></p>
