Today’s Lively show is a very “lively,” action-packed conversation with author and thought leader, Jon Acuff. Jon is a thoughtful, funny, and down-to-earth author with five books under his belt, including Start and Quitter.
Today, we’re speaking about the topic of his newest book, Do Over, which is all about cultivating the four aspects of our “Career Savings Account,” so that we can navigate positive, unexpected, and negative career transitions that will inevitably pop at various points in our careers (non-biz and biz alike).
This episode is perfect for anyone who wants to grow and invest in their career so that they can: choose self-directed “do overs” throughout their career, or bounce back from unexpected (or unwelcome) career “do overs.”
