In this episode of the Passion Struck Podcast, host John R. Miles welcomes Jason Silver, a multi-time founder, startup advisor, and author of "Your Grass Is Greener: Use What You Have, Get What You Want at Work and in Life." Jason shares his transformative journey from engineering to entrepreneurship, emphasizing the importance of redefining career satisfaction.

He discusses how fulfillment at work doesn't necessarily come from landing a dream job or making a drastic career change, but rather from leveraging the skills and resources you already possess to create a more balanced and rewarding life. Jason's practical strategies include accomplishing five days of work in four, advancing your career without burning out, and finding genuine satisfaction in your current role.
