Are You Playing Small? Three Questions That Transform Your Career

transform your career

So this is sort of weird.

Keith Jennings was a beta reader for my new book Audacious: How Humans Win in an AI Marketing World (coming Feb 2025!). He was so moved and inspired by the book that he’s decided to make radical changes to reimagine his career. And unfortunately, part of that means taking a sabbatical as a co-host of my podcast!

I obviously hate to see Keith take the year off but I’m excited for his future and proud that my book had this profound impact on him.

This prompted us to devote his final episode to a discussion of career transformation. Both of us have reinvented our careers almost continuously, and in this show we consider three questions that enable relevant introspection:

  1. Working ON something is very different than working IN it. Are you working on your career or in it?
  2. Are you working at the top of your license? Are you so busy that it is keeping you from working at the top of your potential?
  3. Are you working at the edge of your abilities? Are you in a trench of career sameness? Just mailing it in? Maybe it is time to unlearn what you’ve learned.

Keith always brings a compassionate, human view to the field of marketing and this episode will definitely challenge you to transform your career. Just click here to listen:
