Higher Education or Working for Yourself? Brandon Dobel S11Ep5
Are you stuck between going back to university or taking the leap to work for yourself? In this episode, I’m joined by Brandon Dobel, a producer and educator with over 25 years of experience in the classroom and the studio.
Brandon shares his unique perspective on how a background in history and teaching led him to founding his own media company, How I Got That Way Media LLC. We discuss why the "lifelong learner" mindset is the most important tool in an entrepreneur's kit and why you shouldn't be afraid to leave the "TPS reports" behind for a vocation that actually gives you life.
In this episode:
The Recession Strategy: Why going back to school might be better than taking a "flunky" job during an economic downturn.
Finding Your Vocation: Breaking down the difference between a job you have to do and a "calling" you were meant for.
The Transition: How to move from a 9-to-5 into your own business without losing your mind (or your savings).
The Power of Curiosity: Why "not knowing what you don't know" is the most exciting part of starting a new project.
The Artisan Mindset: How to treat your business like a craft, whether you're making cabinets or podcasts.
