September 26, 2019Dream Jobs - The Reality
Fun fact - 80% of people currently working are not doing their dream job. That's a staggering statistic.

Are you doing your dream job? Probably not, or you wouldn't be listening to my podcast.

In this episode, I talk about what it means to pursue your dream job and give you a little kick in the ass you may need to start pursuing something different.

September 05, 2019You Only Have to Matter to One
Whether you're in marketing or you're thinking about your next career move, focusing on the concept of a minimal viable audience is the key.

We don't need to apply to 100 jobs. We don't need to connect with 500 people on LinkedIn.

We do need to be specific about where we want to work, what we want to do, and what we're really good at.

August 27, 2019Episode 7 - Stop Trying to Be Found (Part 2)
The Winding Road is not only applicable to life and our careers but it also applies to the projects we're engaged with and this podcast is no exception.

I'm taking a new approach to what The Winding Road is. I'll be taking marketing principles and will be sharing my perspective and thoughts about how it can be applied to our careers and professional lives.

This episode gets pretty personal. I share some things that not many people knew about me. I also continue the previous discussion around why we need to stop trying to be found and start being seen. Start taking a targeted approach to who and how you engage with people on LinkedIn, in person, or whatever way you interact with people.
