The Career Transition Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

At 17, my father threw a can of car oil at me & left a wall dent

So in that moment, after he missed, I made an important decision:

I decided to travel as far away as possible from him. 🌍

It really was that simple.
Live or die.
And I chose live.

So I hit the reset button at 18, left my birth country, and landed in Canada with 2 suitcases on my own.

But nothing was peachy.

I spent another 18 years recovering from trauma.

Trauma that has caused me to question:
- Am I good enough?
- What if I fail?
- Do I deserve this job?

In this episode of the Career Transformation Podcast
I talked about what most career coaches don't talk about.

The elephant in the room.
The impact of a crappy childhood on your career.
And what you can do about it.

Burnt out? Anxious? Battling with the alarm every morning? Been there but overcame it. In this episode I partner with Christine Hronec, an award-winning chemist, 3-time champion fitness competitor, and nutrition expert to answer questions on how to uplevel your performance naturally.

Christine is the reason I lost 30lb+ after feeling burnt out during the pandemic.

In the last episode we talked about identifying your career sweet spot and we break it down to the following formula to figure out your ideal job:

1. What kind of problems do you want to solve?
2. What impact you want to have?
3. What collaboration style you prefer most?

In this episode we dive deeper into finding out the types of problems you want to solve and my Career Archetype Quiz.

I also share with you real case studies of clients and the type of roles they landed like my client Heath who went from being a truck driver to landing his dream job as an Agile Mentor at a top gaming company and how he figured it out.
