Episode notes

A lot of people in the midst of uncertainty and especially career uncertainty jump to the third piece, which is drive. So I like to go all the way back to the beginning. Once we've done that deep dive, that discovery part, that's when we can transition into the define phase. And it's only when we've defined what your niche is in the world, your ideal best and highest value, let's call it your Olympic gold medal level, ideal profession where you have the best chance of succeeding at the highest level.
