#93) Surviving a Job You Hate | David Flynn

Why you will want to listen to this episode: you know you hate your job. Every time you come home, you lack energy and can’t wait to complain to your closest friend about how much you hate your job. Or maybe it’s on a more subtle level, and your job is becoming progressively more life-sucking, and you’re now unsure if you made the right choice.

You especially want to listen to this if you want a way out and want to take some control of your situation.

I brought on David Flynn. He’s a good friend of mine, Austinite, and rising star in the world of online marketing. He has a diverse background in marketing working for various companies large and small -- from his very own company to companies as large as Facebook. Most importantly, he comes on this podcast to speak from the heart and share advice on surviving a job you hate.

Here's what we cover:

• What are some reasons that you should not stay in your job?
• What did you do to cope with being in this tough position? What were some healthy habits that helped you survive until your next phase? 
• Were there any mentality shifts that truly helped you during this period? (Internal vs. External Locus of Control)
• What did you do to stay fresh and marketable when you were searching for jobs?
• One thing you mentioned was you rarely let your connections die. Can you speak more about this and how it helped your job search?
