From Working for a Global Corporation, to Entrepreneur and then getting laid off by the company you helped build, Mike doesn't pull any punches and shares lots of great information with us about his career journey.
Today we are joined by James Wightman who is the co-founder of Rebel Advisors. In addition to the Rebel Advisors book, James and Kristen Cruz have created a powerful resource for anyone who is not sure what they want to do with their lives, especially for those who don't fit the conventional mold.
If you want to become a doctor, accountant or lawyer etc, formal education may be for you. If you feel like the outdated career paths and expensive education that goes along with it is not for you, then you might be just the kind of Rebel that James and Kristen help. Stop by the website for (in addition to a free chapter of their book) for resources to help you find non traditional career paths, resources to find which path might be right for you and even connect with your very own rebel advisor!
