The Wordslinger Podcast

Pivoting in Career and Life with Grant Faulkner // Wordslinger ep 225


Listen Later

It’s kind of weird how you can often find people who are living a life or working a career path that is eerily parallel to your own. That’s the case with me and my friend, Grant Faulkner. We both came to publishing around the same time and in roughly similar ways. We both ended up working for organizations that serve the writing community. And we both left those roles at roughly the same time, to pursue other facets of our dreams.

In this episode, I talk to Grant about his journey, but I also talk to you about yours. Because it’s ok to step back and take a look at your dream, and realize, “This isn’t what I want anymore.”
