Podcasts about Dream Job

Have you been applying and applying to wildlife jobs or experiences only to hear nothing back? That's exactly what happened to Dylan Karl despite having a degree from a prestigious university specializing in wildlife, a Master's degree, years of experience, and a wildlife biologist certification from The Wildlife Society. Dylan had seemingly everything, yet, he was applying to 30-50 jobs every season, but nothing was landing. Dylan's story is even more unique. Dylan was one of my Successful Wildlife Professional students, and when I first started working with him, he was working in a wildlife job, but unhappy. He felt that although he was technically involved in wildlife work mitigating damage at airports, he wasn't having the impact he wanted, and felt like he was spending a lot more time killing wildlife rather than saving it. So Dylan decided to join the Successful Wildlife Professional program and get help. And it paid off almost instantly! Within two months of the program, he applied for and got his dream job of working with Mexican wolves. This was a huge win and we were both so excited for his future! Because of these incredible results, I knew I had to have him on the Fancy Scientist podcast to share. But when I interviewed him, I was surprised he was no longer working there! It turns out that his story took an unexpected turn. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for reality to not match up with expectations in our field… Dylan had always imagined himself as a bridge between wildlife and people, helping manage conflict and promote coexistence. But what he thought was a non-lethal position in Arizona turned out to not be so non-lethal after all, due to pressure from ranchers pushing for the lethal removal of federally protected wolves. This didn't sit right with him, and that misalignment caused him to rethink what he actually wanted out of his career.Luckily, he had the tools he learned from the Successful Wildlife Professional to lean back on. He used the trainings on understanding the jobs and workplaces and personal exercises to uncover his own desires and strengths to re-identify his dream job. He combined this with the wildlife-specific protocols in the application section to write competitive cover letters and resumes for his new dream path. He now works as a Preserve Management Assistant for the prestigious The Nature Conservancy in northwestern Minnesota, helping to manage approximately 300,000 acres of tallgrass aspen parklands through tools like prescribed burns and seed spreading. Every morning he wakes up feeling like he's taking care of the animals he loves' homes.Dylan also gives a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to work at the Nature Conservancy and what prescribed fire management actually looks like, including how burning 400 acres of land can transform a smothered wetland into one teeming with native wildflowers, frogs, fish, and water birds just a month later. After the interview, I break down the key takeaways so you can apply them to your own path, including why "proven experience" beats just experience, why knowing your end goal changes everything, and why the workplace you choose matters just as much as the work itself.Specifically, we talk about:Dylan's winding path from watching Steve Irwin as a kid in Cincinnati to managing 300,000 acres with The Nature Conservancy in MinnesotaHis experiences with the Peace Corps, the Cincinnati Zoo, wind turbine curtailment, spotted owl research, and USDA Wildlife ServicesWhat it felt like to be in a position that looked good on paper but isn't aligned with your valuesHow you can still work in wildlife, but not feel like you are following your dream or having the impact you wantThe gap between the Steve Irwin version of a wildlife career and what most wildlife jobs actually look likeWhy sending 30 to 50 applications a season and taking the first offer isn't a career strategyWhat caused Dylan to break through and land his dream job on Mexican wolves within a couple of monthsHow Dylan used The Successful Wildlife Professional to get clear on what he actually wanted and land the Nature Conservancy jobHis tips for landing a job with The Nature Conservancy, including why seasonal positions are the right entry pointHow prescribed fire is used as a conservation tool, and what it's like to return to a burned unit a month later and find it thriving with lifeThe spotted owl courtship behavior story you didn't know you neededAnd more!Jumps Links3:28 Meet Dylan Karl4:50 Dylan's Winding Career Path5:24 Working at The Nature Conservancy6:26 Prescribed Fire & Conservation11:40 Dylan's Education & Background15:25 Peace Corps, Zoo Work & Master's Degree18:45 Working for USDA Wildlife Services22:51 The Non-Lethal Wolf Job That Wasn't24:19 Landing at The Nature Conservancy27:37 Is There a Bait & Switch in Wildlife Careers?31:46 Why Dylan Joined Successful Wildlife Professional32:36 Carpet Bombing Applications & Career Misalignment35:32 Finding His Dream: Habitat Management40:31 A Moment of Success in the Field42:36 What Makes Dylan a Fancy Scientist45:20 The Owl That Defended Her Mate46:49 How to Get a Job at The Nature Conservancy49:18 Is the SWP Program Worth It?Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

Found Your Dream Job? The reasons why you CAN and Can't or WON'T get the opportunity…The things the manager or business owner can't or won't tell you.

Pharaoh shares his fears, frustrations, failings with Joseph, a despised Hebrew. Does my demeanor cause those who despise my faith to open up, or clam up? From July 26, 2026

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LEARN HOW TO JOURNALSPEAK When Christian developed chronic dizziness, vestibular migraines, fatigue, and post-exertional crashes after COVID, his life quickly became organized around fear. As a sports broadcaster, his symptoms were especially intense at work—the very place where his identity, ambition, and ability to provide for his growing family felt most vulnerable. After normal medical testing and months of searching for answers, Christian found Mind Your Body, began JournalSpeak, and started to recognize that his nervous system was capable of change. But when his symptoms didn't disappear as quickly as he hoped, a new fear took over: What if he couldn't heal unless he quit his job? What if he hadn't reached rock bottom yet? In this hybrid success story and Real-Time Heal, I help Christian understand why his symptoms attached themselves to work, achievement, and self-worth—and why recovery doesn't require abandoning his life or waiting for his body to collapse. With his first son on the way, Christian begins to see this experience not as the end of the life he planned, but as an opportunity to build the emotional strength he'll carry into fatherhood. We talk about predictive coding, symptom monitoring, fear of crashes, and the importance of meeting symptoms with safety rather than panic. Christian believes his story will have a happy ending. My answer is simple: It already does. XO n. More for you: THIS WILL SELL OUT SO BOOK SOON!!

TODAY'S QUESTION: Hi Fellas, My group of friends from high school wanted to rent a house for a week by a lake and relive our glory days. I was the most enthusiastic when planning started and said I would be there the whole week. Now the house is rented and it's a 2.5 hour drive. I have a job currently and already took the vacation block for the whole week. I have been applying for better jobs, but did not expect anything in today's job market. I applied and interviewed to the perfect job. Promotion, raise, easier commute, better work life balance, everything. I was given a job offer but they want me to start the Monday of the lake weekend. Now I'm looking for advice. Thanks, Troy Tulowitski (My real name is ***** but I would prefer to stay anonymous and thought you would appreciate the Rockies reference.)

Leo Young is the founder and managing partner of Cornell Communities, a private equity real estate firm revitalizing manufactured housing communities across eight states. He studied finance in college, then moved into sales at Tesla to build the communication skills he knew he was missing, working his way up to top regional salesperson before leaving to pursue real estate full time. After earning his real estate license, working in brokerage, and investing passively in apartments, Leo launched his own firm. Cornell Communities acquires and operates middle market mobile home parks, expanding access to affordable housing while delivering risk managed returns to accredited investors.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Stack skills deliberately, since finance, sales, and operations compound over a career Vet the operator harder than the pro forma, because execution drives returns Buy in the middle market where institutions with cheaper capital are not competing Underwrite infrastructure first, since older parks carry hidden CapEx risk Create value through expense discipline and rent normalization, not unit renovations     Topics From Finance to Tesla Sales Leo studied finance but could not hold a presentation or speak in front of a room He joined Tesla to fix that weakness and became the top regional salesperson Why He Left a Dream Job for Real Estate Sales income required constant output and did not build lasting wealth A first passive apartment investment and distribution check convinced him to go all in Manufactured Homes vs. Mobile Homes Manufactured housing is the legal term tied to federal HUD construction standards Roughly 20 million Americans live in these communities, across a wide quality range Buying in the Middle Market Institutions and REITs with cheaper capital absorb the top quality assets Leo targets workable properties where his team can execute a clear value add What He Underwrites First Infrastructure leads: water, sewer lines, and roads on parks 50 to 70 years old Purchase price, location, and regulations follow, then his own team bandwidth How He Vets Sponsors as a Limited Partner Most decks oversell the property and undersell the team He asks for case studies and how the sponsor responds when a deal goes wrong Why the Economics Work Residents own their homes, which lowers the operating expense ratio and lifts NOI Heavy land improvement creates more depreciable value in a cost segregation study Lot rents sit at the low end of the housing market, so demand stays strong The Two Main Value Levers Expenses: rebuild vendor contracts and move home and utility costs to residents Rent: normalize lot rents toward market while keeping the value proposition intact Site improvements like roads, fencing, signage, and lighting support resident relations Why Homes Rarely Move Relocating a home can cost $7,000 to $10,000 and risks damage in transit Most residents sell in place and cash in the equity they built Community and Retention Turnover runs near 5%, compared with roughly 50% in apartments Private yards and driveways make the setting closer to a subdivision than a building

What to Do When You Don't Know What You WantHave you ever found yourself thinking:"I know I don't want this job anymore... but I have no idea what comes next."If so, this episode is for you.One of the biggest misconceptions about manifestation is believing you need complete clarity before you can begin. The truth is, you don't need to know exactly what your dream career or dream life looks like—you simply need to start moving towards the feelings and experiences you want to create.In this episode, I share how to manifest your next chapter even when you don't have all the answers. I also share my own journey from corporate law into entrepreneurship, along with inspiring stories from Sara Blakely (founder of Spanx & Sneex) and Robin Arzón, who both found incredible success without having every step mapped out from the beginning.In this episode you'll learn:Why "I don't know what I want" is usually not the full truthHow your thoughts and energy shape what you experience every dayWhy focusing on how you want to feel creates more clarity than obsessing over the perfect job titleA simple exercise to uncover what truly matters to youThe power of gratitude, affirmations and trusting divine timingThe seven manifestation steps you can use even when your destination isn't yet clearKey Takeaways✨ You don't need to know exactly where you're going to begin moving forward.✨ Clarity comes through action—not overthinking.✨ Focus on the life you want to create, rather than the career you're trying to escape.✨ The Universe can't guide someone who refuses to take the first step.Favourite Quote"Stop trying to figure it all out. Focus on what you love, how you want to feel, and trust that the path will unfold."If this episode resonated with you, I'd love it if you subscribed to the podcast, shared it with someone who needs to hear it, and left a review.Remember:The life you're meant for is already making its way towards you.

Last week we talked about finding your Superpower Edge™, the place where your strengths, your motivators, and your personality meet. That's the work only you can do. But knowing your edge and actually getting paid to live in it every day are two different things. And the space between them has a name. It's the skill gap. So many of us ask the same painful question. If I know what my dream work is, why don't I have it yet? There are really only two reasons. It's your mindset, or it's your process. Today I want to talk about the process. Because once you know your zone of genius, once you have your edge, the next question isn't "what." It's "how." How do you build the skills that turn that gift into a life?

Sophia is one of my best friends, the officiant of my wedding, and one of the most cracked marketers I know. She's led campaigns at Airbnb, Databricks, and ElevenLabs. She won Best Dance Film at the LA Film Awards. She's also going through her biggest plot twist yet: leaving tech to pursue her art. Full time. For good.

Hillary Dater came to a BEST LIFE Retreat a few years ago -- not because she was in crisis, but because her work brought her there. She had what looked like everything: a dream job in the nonprofit sector, family, community, a life that rang all the bells.And still, something wasn't quite right. She just hadn't stopped long enough to notice.What followed the retreat was a series of genuinely bold moves: a move to the mountains, leaving a career she'd spent decades building to pursue something that actually lit her up, a fly fishing trip to Argentina with her son -- her first international travel in thirty years -- and a year spent intentionally, deliberately, scheduling fun back into her life.In this conversation, Hillary and Laurie talk about what it actually looks like to stop living on the sidelines of your own life...even when the life you're living is already pretty good. They talk about joy as something that has to be practiced, not assumed. About asking for help as a skill. About the moment Hillary's father, in hospice, looked at her and said: "I've got all the time. I've got the money to do anything I want. And I don't have my health. Don't make that mistake."This episode is proof that you don't have to be in crisis to deserve change. You just have to decide the life on the other side of the investment is worth more than the comfort of staying put.What we coverHow Hillary came to the BEST LIFE Retreat for work -- not because anything was wrong in her life -- and what happened after she leftThe light fixture epiphany: the moment she realized she couldn't answer the question "what do you like?" and what that revealed about how far she'd drifted from herselfWhy being in a room of women you barely know can be more liberating than being with your closest friendsThe "scared-cited" feeling: what happens when you share a bold idea with the wrong people first...and what happens when you share it with the right onesHow Hillary's dad's final words from hospice changed everything: "I've got all the time and the money, and I don't have my health. Don't make that mistake."The Hardy reel, the screaming line, the fish she stopped counting, and the moment she realized she hadn't known what fun felt like in decadesMoving to the mountains: the guilt, the fear, the grief...and what she found on the other side (her daughter making her breakfast in pajamas)Argentina: fly fishing with her son, thirty years without international travel, and what happens when you know the what and trust the universe with the howThe year she color-coded her calendar to schedule fun — and how 2026 became the year fun stopped being scheduled and started being just who she isAsking for help as a skill: how fly fishing taught her to say "I don't know this, but I want to"...and trust that willing teachers would show upThe belief she'd been carrying that she was difficult and unpleasant to be around — and what the retreat helped her see insteadWhat it means to leave a legacy while you're still here — and why watching mom live her best life is one of the greatest gifts she can give her childrenThe long arm quilting machine, the 55th birthday sand dunes, the riding lawnmower coveralls...and what it means to finally say yes to yourselfQuotable moments"I'm in a great place. I was in a great place, but I'm in an even better place now — and I feel more authentically myself than I ever have in my entire life.""When you're all there for the same purpose, even if everyone's path is different — it just becomes a game changer.""When you've got a dream and you're aligned with it and you're leaning into it, the path opens up for you.""I just had to get really comfortable with being bad, asking a lot of questions, asking for help...none of those things are like me.""I've got all the time. I've got the money to do anything I want. And I don't have my health. Don't make that mistake." — Hillary's father, from hospice"This is fun. This is what fun feels like." — the moment on the river that changed everything"The idea of not taking the risk and always wondering, if I had just let my life pass me by, if I had just remained sitting on the sidelines...that was way more scary than the idea of doing it.""Don't let life put you back on your heels. Lean into it." — Hillary's grandfather"Get in the game. It's never too late to make a change. It's never too late to be your authentic self.""Every time that I've leaned into something, even if it felt a little scary or overly indulgent, the reward and the return on that investment has just paid off in spades.""Every time I see you, I'm living my best life — and I have you to thank for it."Resources + links mentionedDie With Zero by Bill Perkins — referenced in conversationThe BEST LIFE Retreat Book a 15-minute call with LaurieIf this episode moved you, share it with the woman in your life who has a pretty good life — and deserves to know it can be even better.

Does your “dream job” really exist? You may know Emily Durham as Emily the Recruiter on social media, where she shares practical, refreshingly honest career advice and coaches people through the biggest professional decisions of their lives. Emily doesn't believe in the idea of a dream job. In this episode, she joins Anne to make the case for the “awake job” that actively fits into your purpose, lifestyle, and financial needs.

“Young people are so carefree!”, but is it true? In this series ‘Snack for Thought', we dive into real conversations on the money and life issues young adults face, while keeping it light-hearted with a mukbang style, sharing the food gems around our office at Duxton Hill, giving listeners plenty to chew on.As trusted advisers to our affluent clients for over two decades, journeying with different generations, this series also gives parents and guardians insight into what their children or grandchildren (early 20s to 30s) may be experiencing. We explore the topics young adults care about, the challenges they face, and the concerns they discuss with peers. We hope these conversations help you understand them better and connect more meaningfully.In this podcast episode, Kate and Helen reflect on what it truly means to be successful over Dopa ice cream, just steps from our office. Since young, many of us have grown up with a fixed definition of success shaped by the expectations of those around us. For some, these expectations can become a source of pressure and even feel suffocating at times.But today, more young people are courageously redefining success on their own terms. Whether it is choosing to care for a farm, becoming a Pilates instructor, or pursuing a less conventional path, our generation is learning that success does not have to fit into a single mould.As the final episode of this series for the year, we hope these conversations encourage younger listeners to reflect on what truly matters most to them. And to the older generation, we hope this offers a glimpse into what your children may be navigating, helping foster deeper understanding and connection.Music courtesy of ItsWatR.The contributors of this episode are Kate Loo, Community & Events Executive, and Helen Tran, Senior Executive of Media Production, Group Brand Experience, at Providend, the first fee-only wealth advisory firm in Southeast Asia and a leading wealth advisory firm in Asia.Did you know that our Providend's Money Wisdom podcast is now available in video format on YouTube?

I've seen a pattern of senior ICs deciding to quit to bet on themselves, but we rarely get to see what it took to get there.Julia Fei, Sr. Data Scientist at Notion (and my dear creator friend), just made her decision to leave her dream job to pursue something she's always been curious about. But it was a calculated, deliberate decision that she spent years preparing for.In this week's episode of Office Drama, we reveal the inner drama of Julia's thought process and the conversations she's had navigating the transition.In this ep, we talk about:→ why Julia quit Notion when she genuinely loved her team, her manager, and her job→ how to know if you're actually growing or just getting comfortable→ why "stability" is a scam→ the double life of being a creator in tech→ how to build a financial runway for the leap before you're ready to take it→ and how to know when it's finally time to take a risk on yourselfThis episode is for anyone who has done everything right and still felt like they were playing it too safe. Julia is one of the most calculated, self-aware people I know and watching her finally bet on herself after years of preparation is exactly the kind of story I started this show to tell.→ Find Julia:https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliafei/https://www.youtube.com/@juliafeihttps://www.instagram.com/julia.fei/https://www.tiktok.com/@julia.feiSubmit your Coworker Confessions

In this episode, I'm joined by Max, co-founder of Superpower, a longevity and preventive health company based in San Francisco. Max shares his unconventional journey from a curious, entrepreneurial kid in Sydney to building one of health tech's most ambitious startups — all without a clinical background. He offers a refreshingly direct perspective on why clinicians are uniquely positioned to drive change in healthcare, why sunk cost is a trap, and why the best time to make your move is now. If you're a healthcare professional thinking about stepping into health tech, this episode will challenge the way you think about your career.Quotes:"Health professionals are some of the best placed to actually create change in health." - Max"Servicing a system allows you to impact maybe a few hundred or thousand people. Building a system ideally gets to the millions over time." - Max"The fastest path between A and Z is not to go through B, C, D — just do the thing." - Max"Being willing to be dumb is almost a prerequisite to being smart." - Max"If you're trying to do something in a new way, it's very hard to do that from the model of thinking that created the existing way." - MaxShow Notes:Why clinicians have an unfair advantage when building in health techHow to stop letting sunk cost hold you back from a career pivotThe difference between servicing the healthcare system and building itWhy the "one day I'll do this" mindset is keeping you stuckHow an outsider perspective can be the most powerful tool for reinventing healthcareLinks: https://www.matchday.health/ https://superpower.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxmarchione/

Episode 336: What happens when the dream you've been working toward for 20 years suddenly doesn't feel right anymore?In this episode, we sit down with Kate Delaney from the Society of American Florists to talk about leadership, career pivots, and the quiet courage it takes to walk away from what you thought was “the plan.”Kate shares her unexpected journey—from a part-time flower shop job to being on the path to ownership—and the moment everything shifted. What she thought was fear turned out to be something deeper: misalignment.We dive into:The difference between fear and intuitionWhy ownership isn't the only path in the floral industryRecognizing the “heaviness” that signals something isn't rightHow to evaluate whether to persist or pivotThe power of community and connection in this industryAsking the right questions (the “5 why” method) to find clarityIf you've ever questioned your next step, felt stuck between staying and leaving, or wondered if there's another way forward—this conversation will meet you right where you are.Because sometimes the bravest move isn't pushing through… it's choosing something better aligned with who you are.Sponsored by: Flower CliqueFlower Clique Prep SchoolReal Life Retail Florist

What actually makes a job fulfilling? It's not what most career advice tells you. "Follow your passion" sounds inspiring, but it's misleading — and the research backs that up.Drawing on hundreds of studies, we've identified five key ingredients of a dream job. High income barely moves the needle. Low stress is actually counterproductive. And the correlation between doing what you already love and actually enjoying your job? Surprisingly weak. What matters far more is getting good at something that genuinely helps other people.This narration is of Chapter 1 of Benjamin Todd's new book — "a ridiculously in-depth guide to finding a fulfilling career that does good" — out on May 26!

Denmark says it needs international talent. So why do so many internationals still feel uncertain about building a future here?In this episode of What Are You Doing in Denmark, Derek talks with Dan Rosenberg from Copenhagen Capacity about the reality behind working and staying in Denmark as an international. They discuss why many internationals feel “professionally stuck” in Denmark and the hidden career challenges foreigners face after getting hired that make changing jobs can feel risky - especially when your residency depends on employment.Along the way they discuss how this squares with Denmark's growing dependence on non-EU workers and why political rhetoric often doesn't match economic reality. It's not all doom and gloom, Dan highlights some Danish municipalities that are actually doing international retention well while explaining why welcoming internationals takes more than just work permits.The conversation also explores the future of international talent in Denmark, whether Denmark is truly competing globally for skilled workers, and what needs to change for internationals to feel wanted and not just needed.Whether you're newly arrived, job hunting, considering permanent residency, or wondering if Denmark is really a long-term fit, this episode offers one of the most honest conversations yet about life as an international in Denmark.

Most of us grew up with a dream job that had nothing to do with reality. In this episode, Daffnee and Torri get honest about what it actually takes to find work you love — why doing the unglamorous stuff first matters more than anyone wants to admit, and whether a "dream job" is even a real thing or just an influencer reel you saw online. Plus the career pivot nobody saw coming and the job Daffnee almost took that would have changed everything.
