In this episode Melissa & Rick discuss career and ambitions.  How do we go about managing a career, especially early on in the career, setting a roadmap for what we “want”, making key decisions along the way, gravitating toward things that we are passionate about and aligning these aspirations with our more holistic life goals.   In this episode we also discuss adaptability, growth and self awareness which are all important topics as we manage a career.

Managing a career is not an isolated part of our life, it is a part of our life that is a JOURNEY that we navigate along the way, always driving alignment with our broader goals.

In all things, consider “the cost of building the house”.  Understand the cost of your aspirations & ambitions.
