From dentistry to tech startups through testing and validating career ideas - Tom Youngs

Season 1 · Episode 30

Thursday, December 31, 2020 • Duration 46:00

In this episode, I talk to Tom Youngs who made the big leap from successfully starting a career in dentistry in a well-respected private practice in the UK, to jumping into entrepreneurship in tech startups.

I met Tom over five years ago - a well-respected coach I had hired suggested he meet me and it was at the start of his career change journey. Five years later, after a few pivots,I noticed how happy he was from a LinkedIn post celebrating working with his team in the tech startup world. So I wanted to find out more about how his career change unfolded.

This episode is particularly relevant for people who feel they have large sunk costs from being in a career for years or spending many years, and a lot of money, training in a profession. It’s also for those whose families are in the same profession as them. Tom ticks all these boxes and came out successfully in a new career he loves.

In this episode we discuss:

The moment that hit Tom he was not in the right career for him after years of being focused and dedicated to achieving that goal
Managing his career transition working in two tech startups while working at his dental practice
Lessons he has learnt in hindsight from making his decision to change career
How Tom knows this is the right career for him now
Having a sense of freedom and a bubble bursting connecting him to the world
What’s the one thing that makes Tom Youngs burn from within?

The secret to live longer and happier without anti-aging products or restrictive diets - Matt Garrow-Fisher

Tuesday, December 29, 2020 • Duration 14:08

This week, I discuss a topic that for some is taken for granted, for others neglected, and for all of us, whether we are young or old, is the true secret to not only happiness but living a long life.

And I’m not talking about anti-ageing creams, botox, ketogenic or paleo diets (although diet is a significant factor in longevity).

I’m talking about being involved in your community.
