I recently had the chance to read the book, “The Career Toolkit.” The reason this book really resonated with me is because of my journey transitioning from within the corporate world and then out of the corporate world.

As an entrepreneur this should mean everything to you. Where is it you want to take your career? What is it that you want to build in this career path? What are the tools that you need in order to achieve these goals.

In this episode, I have the author himself, Mark Herschberg, who is a CTO, an MIT instructor, author, and speaker.

“Your career plan is not just your title.”

IN THIS EPISODE
