Description

Not every career change starts with total misery.

Sometimes things aren’t awful, but they’re certainly not great. And as time goes on, mediocrity can turn into resentment.

In this episode, we hear from Daniel Ricken, who realised that ‘fine’ wasn’t good enough any more. He’s now found an unexpected way to get paid for something he’s always done for free – bringing people together around the things that matter to him most.

We talked about finding the intersection between your personal and professional selves, finding ways to sidestep a crazy job market, and what he did when the political landscape crashed into his career change world.
