In this episode, Sarah Rosenthal speaks with NYU alumnus, Ron Rapatalo, about finding work that you’re passionate about, deciding if and when to monetize hobbies, recovering after an unexpected career setback, and leveraging your social media presence.

Ron Rapatalo’s career vision is coaching, connecting, and inspiring others to find their best selves through healthier living, increased mindfulness/interconnection, and stronger intention/strategy. He believes in the power of intuition and deepening one’s self-awareness and impact on others. He also believes that we must dismantle systems of oppression and racism to recover our fullest humanity. Ron has been a talent shepherd for 15+ years, recruiting and selecting thousands of candidates to become education and nonprofit leaders. He joined Edgility Consulting full-time in September 2018 after consulting with them and other search firms for over 4 years.
