There was a period of time about five years ago that came to be known as the Great Resignation, when workers quit their jobs en masse. The pandemic forced many people to reconsider different aspects of life, especially work. Many workers took that time as an opportunity to reinvent themselves or chase a dream they had long neglected. So, what happened to those who took a big risk? We’ll talk with people who made major career pivots after 2020 about how it’s played out and discuss whether workers still have the freedom to pursue their dreams in this economy.
Guests:
Simone Stolzoff, independent journalist, designer and consultant; author, "The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work" and upcoming "How to Not Know: The Value of Uncertainty in a World that Demands Answers"
Azikiwee Anderson, founder and owner, Rize Up bakery
Aki Ito, chief correspondent, Business Insider
Alex Kniess, lead guide and owner, Wilder Walks - a company that organizes backpacking trips in the wilderness
