Episode #051: From Day Job to Dream Job with Kary Oberbrunner

by

Kary OberbrunnerI am thrilled to introduce author Kary Oberbrunner to you on this 1-year anniversary of the Read to Lead Podcast!

His latest book is Day Job to Dream Job: Practical Steps for Turning Your Passion into a Full-Time Gig.

Simply put, I loved it. If you’re dissatisfied with the current state of your career (and studies suggest that 86% of us are), then I believe you will love it too.

I especially appreciate that Kary doesn’t stop with simply telling  you what you need to do. He goes so far as to lay out a 9-step plan for how you can accomplish it. And he’s no armchair quarterback. Kary himself moved from day job to dream job in early 2013.

Farnoosh BrockI first heard Farnoosh Brock as a guest on the Entrepreneur on Fire podcast around a year ago.

Farnoosh is an author, a digital media entrepreneur and an expert green juicer, and is the author of several books including The Healthy Smoothie Bible: Lose Weight, Detoxify, Fight Disease, and Live Long due out later this month (April 22nd).

Episode #038: Jaime Tardy, Author, The Eventual Millionaire

by

Jaime TardyThe nature of work is changing. Simply put, it is my belief, and the belief of many, that the future of work will look nothing like it does today.

Meaning, the days of going to college, studying a field and landing a job will no longer be the norm but, rather, the exception. Don’t believe me? Hundreds, if not thousands of office buildings, once flourishing with activity, now lay dormant and empty. Or, they’re being converted into apartments and other cool living spaces.

Going forward, you must decide if you want to allow an employer to control your financial fate, or if you want to be the one in charge of your own financial destiny.

Today’s guest, Jaime Tardy, learned this the hard way. She’s here to help you avoid making the same mistakes with her new book The Eventual Millionaire: How Anyone Can Be an Entrepreneur and Successfully Grow Their Startup.

Chris BroganWelcome FREAK! That’s right! I’m calling you names. But I mean that in the kindest and most generous way possible. Come on, you listen to podcasts for Pete’s sake. You have to be a little weird, right?

This week we have plenty of firsts. For starters, we welcome our first-ever return guest. Chris Brogan last joined us back in November for episode 21 as we chatted about his previous book The Impact Equation: Are You Making Things Happen or Just Making Noise?

This time around we talk about his new book, due out early next month called, The Freaks Shall Inherit the Earth: Entrepreneurship for Weirdos, Misfits, and World Dominators. See? Now aren’t you glad I included you with the Freaks?
