There's lots of garbage career advice out there and I get why - its hard to apply principles across different disciplines, personal pursuits, and backgrounds. That was true until today - meet Joel Martycz.
After his time in the Air Force, Joel has gone on to work in the broadest array of fields I've ever seen from Space X to Target and Optum Health.
Joel breaks down how to position yourself properly for different industries, why titles don't mean anything and how to optimize for doing things you actually enjoy, and questions you should ask yourself to get to your true calling.
