Sometimes a joke turns into a new life.Trish Jasinski had built a fulfilling, decades-long career in corporate marketing—and she really loved it. But during the pandemic, while working remotely from a very tiny Paris apartment, she started joking with friends that châteaux in the countryside were cheaper than her shoebox of a flat.Just for fun—and with zero plans to actually buy—she went château shopping.And then it happened. She stepped into Château de Gère, a 14th-century stone fortress tucked into the Vallée d'Ossau, and something inside her said, “This is it.”So she did the unthinkable: she bought it. With no plan. Just heart.Now, Trish lives in a quiet French village where sheep outnumber people, and she's turned the château into a beautiful retreat and event space. She's taken everything she learned from her corporate years and poured it into this new life—this wild, magical, entirely unexpected next chapter.In this episode, we talk about:Following a totally unserious whim that changed everythingWhy “no plan” doesn't mean “no purpose”Using your past experience in completely new waysListening to your intuition (even when it makes zero sense)Creating a life that's slower, sweeter, and more youConnect with TrishBook a stay at Château de Gère: https://chateaudegere.com/Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chateaudegere/  Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

In this episode we welcome Marcus Polini to share the story behind his recent job search in product leadership, and the practical tools, frameworks, and mindsets that helped him land his next big role.Marcus's journey, like almost every product person we talked with, is anything but linear. From his roots in geomatics engineering and a hackathon win that led to founding CityConnect, to the hard lessons of startup failure, Marcus's path has been shaped by persistence and a passion for building. After applying to 60 front-end engineering jobs, he pivoted into project management and quickly found his calling in product, bridging his entrepreneurial appetite with a growing interest in healthcare and technology.Before entering the job market, Marcus headed Product at Medstack, which was acquired and his position was cut during the merger. This was an opportunity for him to explore what he loves doing and where he sees himself in his future career path. His path to his current position, as Head of Product, Platform at Dispatch Integration, inspired us to talk with him on the show about the process and tools he applied.Join Matt and Moshe as we dive deep into Marcus's most recent job search, exploring:How he used the Phyl Terry's  “Never Search Alone” process to set up a Job Search Council who helped him move through the searchThe frameworks he used to narrow down his values, passions, and motivating forcesHow he planned his career path as a product, complete with KPIs for personal outcomesThe tactical tools that made a differenceUsing consulting as a path to a full-time product leadership role at Dispatch IntegrationThe critical role of community and mentorship throughout the processThe impact of AI on the modern job searchHow to use AI thoughtfully to enhance, not replace, your authenticity in the job searchHis favorite AI tools and how he uses them And so much more!You can connect with Marcus at:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mpolini/ Article and template used for the process: https://open.substack.com/pub/productbymarcus/p/the-compass-i-didnt-know-i-neededYou can find the podcast's page, and connect with Matt and Moshe on Linkedin:Product for Product Podcast - linkedin.com/company/product-for-product-podcastMatt Green - linkedin.com/in/mattgreenproduct/Moshe Mikanovsky - linkedin.com/in/mikanovsky/Note: any views mentioned in the podcast are the sole views of our hosts and guests,  and do not represent the products mentioned in any way.Please leave us a review and feedback ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In this episode of "Cocoon Conversations," host Jenny Dempsey gets real about the emotional rollercoaster of juggling her career and furniture-flipping side hustle. She spills on burnout, imposter syndrome, and the chaos of pricing her art (“Am I worth it?!”). Jenny shares her messy, vulnerable moments—singing to her furniture, doubting herself, and still showing up. She reminds us that spirals aren't failures, but part of the process, and that confidence is more like a flickering patio light than a spotlight. It's raw, relatable, and a little unhinged—in the best way. Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

What happens when a software engineer follows a sweet little spark of curiosity all the way to the farmer's market? In this episode, host Jenny Dempsey chats with Case Sandberg, founder of San Diego Chocolate Co., about what it really looks like to leave a stable tech job and step into the (often melty) world of handcrafted chocolate.We talk about perfectionism, pivoting with purpose, building something from scratch, and why your next chapter doesn't need a polished plan — just a little momentum and maybe a glass of chocolate milk.Whether you're dreaming of leaving tech, craving a more hands-on life, or just want to feel seen in the mess of figuring it all out — this one's for you.In this episode, we talk about:Making a pivot without a perfect planWhy curiosity can be your compassCreating a business that feels like youBurnout, mini-sabbaticals, and trusting the timingBuilding something imperfect and still showing upLetting go of perfectionism to bring people joyTakeaway quote“I don't want to let my perfectionism get in the way of bringing joy to people.”Connect with Case and San Diego Chocolate CoFollow on InstagramOrder Online: San Diego Chocolate Co.Find him at the North Park, Hillcrest, and La Mesa farmers markets Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

I also, whenever possible, scroll down my feed and every time I see a person that is #opentowork, I drop an invite to my next #LinkedInLive event or if I am not having one my #YouTube page that has hundreds of videos and audio events. I know that I have helped thousands of people in some way to get out of the canyon called #Unemployment and back into the job world. I could've charged a lot of money to a lot of people over the years because my stuff works and it works fast if you are someone that goes and attacks challenges. I don't charge people a lot of money because they need their money to eat and pay their rent and provide for their family when they are unemployed because they don't know when that nightmare will end. That is why I don't make it a giant moneymaking endeavor. I do this from the heart because I never forget how bad it felt to be unemployed and how awful every day was until I knew what my next job was. That said, I cannot believe when someone is offered free help from someone who has been doing it for as long as I have that they would ignore my invite and not come to the event. All I will say is here is an invite to my next event and if you are a #jobseeker you should come because something I say will help you to get in next great opportunity. It's different for every person, but something will resonate. With all of the people being mistreated and ghosted and punched in the face on this platform by people who have no interest in helping, I offer all I can give you to help you get back on your feet.

In this episode of The Career Transition Experts podcast, we demystify the role of AI in hiring and screening processes. Don't be overly concerned about AI screening you out; its primary function is to screen candidates in and provide richer data for human decision-makers. AI isn't currently making hiring decisions, and that trend isn't expected to change soon.Instead, understanding how companies utilize AI can empower you to leverage it in your job search, essentially using AI to navigate the AI-driven aspects of recruitment.Our guest, Anna Buchanan, is the co-founder and CEO of Mindfully Transform, an embedded recruiting firm transforming recruitment-as-a-service by hiring the top 1% of talent for US-based non-technical roles faster and more cost-effectively than ever before. Mindfully Transform is building proprietary AI agents with a SWAT team of the best cybersecurity and recruitment experts. The team's mission is to scale human expertise and EQ with technology, and to improve the hiring experience, promote fairness, and optimize efficiency.You may contact her at anna@mindfullytransform.coIf you're interested in how to apply these insights to gain traction in your job search, let's schedule a FREE Vision and Strategy session - click here for more information.

Happy Sunday. I know many people are at church right now praying and healing and doing a bunch of other beneficial acts.  Need some healing from your job search? Have you ever heard of the “wild horse effect?” Story goes the horses in the African savanna tend to get bitten by bats. The bats draw a miniscule amount of blood, but the horses, because of the minor irritation, go crazy, run around, get exhausted, and basically realize their downfall. All from a tiny little bite that is the equivalent of pinch. I don't think you need a neon sign to get the analogy, but to give you a scoot, the employers are the bats. I've got a little something today to heal those bites so you don't start running around stressed and exhausted… If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings: 1.

How to turn curiosity, clarity, and AI into your most powerful job search tools.Job search isn't just about landing your next role—it's about understanding who you are and how you want to show up in the world. According to Andrew Seaman, Senior Managing Editor for Jobs and Career Development at LinkedIn, that process begins with curiosity, not certainty. “People assume they need to apply to dozens of jobs with a perfect résumé,” he explains. “But the best applications are rooted in self-awareness and strategy—not spray-and-pray.”Instead of rushing to the next opportunity, Seaman encourages job seekers to slow down, ask better questions, and prioritize conversations over checklists. From informational interviews to profile updates, clarity is key—knowing what you want and telling a story that shows why you're the right fit.With tools like LinkedIn's Job Match and natural-language job search, candidates can now assess how they align with a role—and where they can grow. “It's not just about being qualified,” Seaman says. “It's about showing the value you bring.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Seaman joins host Matt Abrahams for our Catalyze Your Career miniseries to share how to job search with intention. Using Matt's “Four I's” framework—identifying, investigating, initiating contact, and interviewing—they explore how strategic storytelling, thoughtful networking, and AI tools can help you stand out in a crowded market.Episode Reference Links:Andrew SeamanEp.184 Fit or Quit?

Client delivery is one of the most critical — and underleveraged — parts of your consulting business.
