From Navy flight school to Facebook, Susan “Spark” Park has chased the most interesting story—then built teams to deliver it. In this episode, Spark shares why identity isn’t the role (stewardship over status), how trust—not just output—drives promotions, and the “trifecta” behind her best job: scope, people, and executive sponsorship.

We talk about designing for time wealth, asking “why” five times, and leading with a simple rule: be a good friend—and ship great work. If you’re navigating big career moves, building PMM teams, or trying to make your work feel like yours (without losing in high-stakes rooms), this one’s for you.

You’ll learn more about how to:

• Identify your Best Job Trifecta (scope • team • sponsors)
• Apply a mission rotation mindset to pick your next role
• Learn how to “get to know yourself” and why you really want that next promotion
• Make mentorship real: block time so it actually happens
