Welcome to the Advice To My Younger Self podcast series, a career and leadership podcast by Jeff Fleischman, offering practical advice and personal insights to help professionals navigate real-world challenges.

I draw on over 35 years of experience leading large high performing teams across Fortune 500 and privately held companies as well as a Board Advisor to several start-ups. The goal of this podcast series is to mentor others by sharing career insights and stories that can help professionals at any stage of their career.

Each episode in this podcast series features a chapter from the book, unpacking the wisdom, struggles, and strategies behind each piece of advice. Whether you're just starting out or reflecting on your journey, there’s something here for you.

This first episode covering Chapter 1 - Don’t Let Anyone Else Define Who You Are, explores the importance of staying true to your identity and aspirations, even when others try to limit or mislabel you. I share personal experiences about being underestimated, how I navigated tough feedback, and the lessons I learned about trusting yourself, assessing advice objectively, and building the courage to chart your own path. This chapter is about finding your voice and owning it. (Advice To My Younger Self is available on Amazon).
