SPARKED

Every week on the SPARKED podcast, we invite a listener to share what’s going on in their work & life, then pose a specific question to Jonathan Fields and a rotating lineup of wise and kind mentors - the SPARKED Braintrust. In today’s episode we’re in conversation with:SPARKED BRAINTRUST ADVISOR: Jenny Blake | WebsiteJenny is a podcaster, career and business strategist, and an award-winning author of three books: Life After College, the groundbreaking Pivot for navigating what’s next, and her recently published Free Time for optimizing what’s now. LISTENER: Jen - Sparketype: Maven (Primary)/Advisor (Shadow) | Advocate (Anti)QUESTION: Listener Jen wonders how to scale impact and income, once you’ve discovered what Sparks you, but it feels limited by the simple fact that there’s only one of you, and there’s only so much you can charge. In Jen’s case, the quiet, deep work of 1:1 coaching and support is where she is most lit up, but knows that it isn’t scalable in a way that will meet her goals. So Jen asks how do you become more comfortable with a working model that can expand and serve more people but is outside your comfort zone or more specifically, is there a way for her to do work differently?YOUR HOST: Jonathan FieldsJonathan is a dad, husband, award-winning author, multi-time founder, executive producer and host of the Good Life Project podcast, and co-host of SPARKED, too!
