Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Innovator's Mindset podcast with George Couros.

 

Drawing inspiration from a poignant personal experience on a pig farm, George delves into the importance of recognizing when it's time to move on from situations where you don’t feel valued. In a candid reflection, he shares how an unexpected job rejection in education led to unforeseen opportunities that significantly altered his career trajectory.

 

This episode is a thoughtful exploration of how perceived failures can sometimes be the stepping stones to success, encouraging listeners to remain open to new possibilities and to take initiative in pursuing personal growth. Join George as he shares insights on learning from setbacks and the value of feedback in achieving success.
