Show Notes Chapter Markers

What makes you happiest in your career? Whether you are chasing the title, looking for the big paycheck, doing rewarding work, or making the impact you want, getting clear about what will make you happy is only part of it. This is an opportunity to look at yourself and determine what has you stuck and how you want to get unstuck. 

 

John gets on the mic with marketing executive and dot-connector Dan Nestle to discuss how leaving a legacy in your career will lead to greater professional happiness and fulfillment. Having worked all over the world, Dan brings a unique and realistic perspective to chasing your career dreams, says that the grass is never greener, and knows that the true secret to a successful career and happiness is making meaningful and intentional business connections that lead to powerful relationships.
