On today's episode of the podcast I'm joined again by my new friend, Jenny Wood.

Jenny Wood is the founder of Google's Own Your Career program, which helps Google employees increase their impact and influence in their current role and or land their next role.

In just a few months, the program scaled from 153 users to tens of thousands of users across Google's global offices & continues to grow like a rocket ship.

• How Adam might be failing the FLIP test
• Weighing comfort vs being bold on the path to financial independence
• The 3 benefits of getting a new job
• Jenny’s PAVE model for building thought leadership
