Now for this week’s episode. Finding career success is about more than just making more money. It’s about finding a career path where you’re motivated to put in hard work without crossing over into burnout. 

When you’re only in a job for the money, every challenge or difficult situation will push you to the brink. Alfie Marsh, head of U.S. GTM for Spendesk, said that the key to long-term success is finding work that aligns with your values and your skills. That way your goals and the job’s goals are in sync, and the hard times are manageable. 

In this episode, Alfie shares what he's learned about starting from scratch in new markets, how to aim for impact, and tips for growing a career.
