What if the job you’re in isn’t forever—and that’s okay?

In this episode, John explores the value of temporary work, misaligned roles, and contract gigs that aren’t your dream job. From polishing cars at the auto show to managing a bike shop, to listening to Trooper blast from a truck stereo—this one’s about showing up, experimenting, and knowing when it’s time to move on.

You’ll hear about:

• Why “low-stakes” jobs are the perfect place to take bold risks

• How interviews can reveal more about you and them

• What it means to leave a job with confidence, not just frustration

• And yes… the legend of Billy Bronco

This one’s for the young worker, the burnt-out manager, and anyone stuck in a role that isn’t quite right. You’re not here to play it safe. You’re here to find out who you are—and where you’re going next.
