Career Switch Podcast: Expert advice for your career change

21: From side hustle to a new career


Listen Later

If you listen to audiobooks, you may have heard Mike Lenz on Audible. Mike is a voiceover actor who has narrated about 170 titles over the past 15 years.

When  Mike started doing voiceover in 2006, he was working as a pharmacist and running his own business. For some 10 years, he narrated books and voiced other projects on the side. Today, Mike is a full-time voiceover actor and works with corporate clients and major publishers, like Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster.

In this episode of Career Switch Podcast, Mike shares how he learned his craft, the mental challenges he had about making his career change, and the decade he remained, as he calls it, “persistently consistent” with his side hustle to make voiceover acting his new career after age 50.
