Catch some of the most powerful, thought-provoking and memorable moments from the first three guest episodes of Not Finished Yet — conversations about reinvention, career change, identity, success and proving that your next chapter can be your most important one yet.Across these episodes, our guests share very different journeys, but they all confront the same question: what happens when the life or career that got you here no longer fits where you want to go next?We hear from Sherman Mohr, who faced 82 job rejections at 52 before recognising the reality of being aged out of traditional employment and turning his experience into a new entrepreneurial future. His story challenges the idea that experience loses value with age — and explores how people over 50 can turn what they know into opportunity and income.Kate Kayaian takes us from a successful career as a professional concert cellist into coaching, writing and leadership. She explores why even achieving the career you once dreamed about can leave you questioning what comes next — and why the answer may be evolution rather than throwing everything away and starting again.And Nandita Mahadevan shares her extraordinary midlife transformation: leaving a C-suite career, navigating divorce and perimenopause, and ultimately building a new purpose helping women reclaim the second half of their lives. Her story is about moving beyond achievement, expectations and fear to discover what you actually want from life.These are some of the most watched moments from Episodes 1–3— honest conversations about getting older, changing direction, redefining success and having the courage to build something new.**Not Finished Yet** is the podcast for people who know that experience isn't something to leave behind — it's something to build your next chapter on.Subscribe for more conversations with entrepreneurs, leaders, experts and ordinary people doing extraordinary things with the next stage of their lives.#NotFinishedYet #Reinvention #CareerChange #Midlife #Over50 #SecondAct #Entrepreneurship #CareerReinvention #PersonalGrowth #Leadership #Podcast #Success #LifeAfter50 #MidlifeReinvention

AI Isn't the End of Your Career – It's the End of the Career Strategy You've Been UsingWhat happens when the career strategy that made you successful suddenly stops working?In this episode of Not Finished Yet, Mark Kennedy talks with Amir Muradali, founder of The Transformed Career Experience and author of Elevate, about the growing challenge facing accomplished professionals in their 40s and 50s who have decades of experience but suddenly find themselves struggling to get noticed in a rapidly changing job market.Why are experienced professionals being passed over for roles they're perfectly capable of doing? Why are CV rewrites, LinkedIn optimisation and traditional job-search strategies often failing? And how is AI changing what companies actually value?Amir explains the hidden trust crisis in recruitment, why experience and qualifications alone are no longer enough, and how professionals can move from simply demonstrating what they can do to becoming people leaders trust with what really matters.Mark and Amir also explore the psychological side of career reinvention: losing the professional identity you've spent decades building, dealing with rejection, recognising the value hidden inside your experience and understanding why changing direction doesn't necessarily mean starting again.They discuss:• Why accomplished professionals are becoming invisible in today's job market• The career strategies that no longer work• The hidden trust crisis facing hiring leaders• How AI is changing professional value• Why experience alone isn't enough• The difference between career change and identity change• How professionals in their 40s and 50s can reposition themselves• Why reinvention doesn't mean starting from scratch• The human skills likely to become more valuable in an AI-driven workplace• What it really means to say: I'm Not Finished YetIf you've built a successful career but are starting to wonder what comes next, this conversation could change the way you think about your experience, your value and the next chapter of your working life.Keywords: career change, career reinvention, midlife career change, AI and jobs, future of work, careers over 40, careers over 50, executive job search, professional reinvention, leadership careers, job market 2026, career coaching, artificial intelligence jobs, mid-career professionals, career transition, future careers, Amir Muradali, Elevate, Not Finished Yet podcast

Is it ever too late to start over?At 49, Tracy Smith stopped waiting for permission and booked a one-way ticket to Iceland.
