Professional Life Crisis is launching Nov 14th, and I’m so glad you’re here.

So, what’s this all about? Well, this podcast will be exploring all things related to the experience of going through a PLC.

🫣 Here's what I define as a Professional Life Crisis:
A crisis about your current job or potential career move that also makes you question just about everything about your life.
- If I work in XYZ, what will that do to my self-image?
- Why am I so hung up on my value as a person as a direct correlation to my salary?
- Do I need to move to a new city, get a new job, or both?
- Are all jobs miserable, or am I just in the wrong one?
- Does taking a remote role just *make sense* or make me look lazy?

I hope the podcast will help other young professionals (like you!) going through these same sorts of challenges:
- Understand what different career paths look like in early- to mid-career and get guidance in making the right choice for you
- Feel a sense of community with other people who have walked a similar path before you, or are walking alongside you now
- Ditch the imposter syndrome that we all feel (me, hi 👋)

The first 3 episodes you can expect are:

- My path from Consulting to Chief of Staff
- The pros and cons of being generalist at a startup in a tech recession
- An in depth interview with David Rolls, a recruiter, business owner, influencer (& now friend!) on his winding career journey through sales and recruiting.

I can’t wait for us to get going! But, in the meantime, do you know of a zesty, passionate young professional with an interesting career journey who may want to be a guest on the podcast? Or maybe that’s you! An awesome way you can support me is with an introduction (abranson216@gmail.com).

Thanks for subscribing and stay tuned for the first 3 episodes on Nov 14th! You freakin’ rock.
