As a real estate agent, Jason would have no guaranteed income and no benefits.Still, he made the switch, and he closed an astonishing 36 deals in just his first year as a full-time agent.Jason said he realized his previous two decades working in academics weren’t a waste, but in fact they gave him what he calls “transferrable skills."If you’ve ever thought about making a career change, especially when the timing seemingly isn’t right, you’ve got to listen to this episode, as Jason breaks down what he did to make a change that ultimately led to more fulfillment and happiness in his life.If you get any value out of this episode, it would mean the world to me if you would share this episode, subscribe to the podcast and give it 5-star review to help the show grow and reach more people.Resources Mentioned:BOOKS"The One Thing," by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan"Atomic Habits," by James Clear"The Compound Effect," by Darren Hardy"Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World," by Admiral William H.
