In this episode, David is joined by Don Gleason a leadership expert, who previously enjoyed a very long career in the military. He is on a quest to help people to be more engaged in the workplace and be able to transition effectively from one career to another. Something most people struggle with, especially those ending a military career and starting a civilian one.

Identifying what you really want and what motivates you is key to creating a job you love. During the episode, Don explains how to identify and pursue your why.
