Revisiting “How To Be An Old Dog And Learn New Tricks”
About a year ago, I gave a talk called “How To Be An Old Dog And Learn New Tricks” in which I shared the exact framework I’ve used to successfully pivot my business/identity multiple times - from musician to coder to consultant to business coach.
I watched it again today, and I think it’s even more important than it was last year. If you’re feeling stuck, bored, or wondering how to navigate the increasing pace of change (especially with AI transforming everything), you need to hear this.
I share:
- The pattern behind each of my career transitions
- Why “Eureka moments” are just the beginning
- The surprising reason most reinventions fail (hint: it’s not about skill)
- My secret formula for making a million dollars (seriously!)
- How to know exactly when it’s time to make a big change
This isn’t theoretical fluff. I walk you through my own journey and break down the specific steps that allowed me to pivot multiple times and build a thriving business helping others do the same.
