In this episode, I speak with Paul Banks about his career change journey from retail to launching his own business, Javelin Content.

We explore the realities of career change and entrepreneurship, digging into why video content and personal branding matter more than ever in today’s marketing landscape.

Paul shares the ups and downs of content creation, how he navigated uncertainty, and what it really takes to step into a new direction professionally.

We also touch on the role of neurodiversity in the workplace, the importance of self-discovery, and why waiting for the “perfect time” to make a change might be holding you back.

If you're thinking about your own professional growth or considering a career change, this conversation offers insight without the sugar-coating.
