I wrote about this in my Player Development Newsletter and it really took off, you can find that here:
I was in a transition in 2022 and once I made the decision to sow roots in Kansas City, the opportunities that weren't there suddenly came. They were great opportunities but I had to decline.
In this video I talk about the following:

- What I learned from it
- What you can learn from it
- What would get me in the role again
