Today on The Lively Show I’m speaking with Barrett Brooks of BarrettBrooks.com and the Director of Growth & Marketing at Fizzle.co.

Like many of us, Barrett found himself unhappy at his job several months ago and thought that it may be time to make a career shift.

However, rather than follow the initial impulse to leave his current position, he took a series of steps first, that led to a totally new understanding of what was going on and what to do next.

As a result, he was able to experience immense joy and resolve some deep issues related to his work that would have simply followed him to his next position – and beyond – had he not looked inward.

This episode is perfect for anyone who is unhappy in their career right now, or anyone who wants to proactively learn about what to do when (or if) that time comes in the future.
