247 - Alan Briggs ”WHO before WHAT”
Time for a reality check.
WHO you are matters more than WHAT you do.
That may be tough to hear, but it's the healthy truth. It's easy to get caught up in the things we do and allow them to become our identity. What we do matters but who we are is matters way more.
On today's episode, Alan gets very practical as he unpacks and explains why who we are matters more than anything else.

246 - Sweet Spot Careers ”How do I find my professional sweet spot?”
On today's episode, Alan interviews Amber and Katelyn, founders of Sweet Spot Careers about what's happening with "The Great Resignation", how to find your professional sweet spot and how they can help.
About Sweet Spot Careers
Hi, we’re Amber & Katelyn,
We’re a life coach + career coach duo and we’ve combined our super powers to bring you the ultimate career clarity + job search strategy experience.
You can find lots of job search help out there, but here’s what we’ve learned: most resources either offer great career clarity without the practical job search strategy, or they jump straight into job search tactics without taking time to get personal clarity and ensure that the job you land is *actually* going to be one that you love.
We believe there’s a special journey to get from dreaded Mondays to waking up excited to start the week saying, “Heck YES, I love what I do.”
We created the Sweet Spot experience that walks you through the personal clarity work (aka “soul searching”) so that you can finally win at job searching. Our process will help you actually land the role doing work that makes you come alive at a company that matches your values and allows you to thrive.
