And a sense of purpose
Mike Wysocki spent 30 years in a job he hated.
After graduating college and feeling unprepared for the working world, he stumbled into a career in tech sales, which paid well but didn't exactly reap joy.

To find out, Mike surveyed 101 professionals, including mortgage brokers, nurses, pizza delivery drivers and CEOs, asking for their raw, unfiltered take on the realities of their work.
The responses became the foundation of his book, Careers for the People: Candid Career from 101 Experienced Professionals.
Take a listen to hear how Mike transformed years of frustration into a sense of purpose, helping students and young people make more informed, fulfilling career choices.
