Hi guys I’m Dan Reed, and welcome back to The Career Dad Show
It’s been a minute… or several months… and to be honest, I needed a bit of a break. If I can’t practice what I preach, then what good am I?
Anyway, it’s great to be back, and let me introduce you to Amit.
Amit realised his career in banking was impacting his mental health, and he was becoming someone he didn’t like. He decided to jack it all in and start a business - during lockdown - with a 2 and a 4 year old at home. Amit believed in plan B, and now helps others do the same.
