#328: So you know itโs time to make a pivot, but you arenโt sure what comes next. Todayโs conversation will help guide you through it. In the next installment of the โBreaking the Rulesโ series, Iโm talking all things pivots with Jeannette Reyes and Mona Abdi, co-hosts of the Awf the Record podcast, who both left stable news careers to bet on themselves. And spoiler: they're not looking back. Jeannette and Mona get refreshingly honest about the unsexy parts of pivoting: the financial spreadsheets, the years-long planning timelines, the moments of wondering if theyโre doing the right thing. They share why loving your job isn't always enough, how to know when your intuition is screaming louder than your fear, and why having a "board of advisors" can make or break your leap. This episode is for you if: You're on the cusp of making a major life pivot, and need help taking the next stepYou're struggling with the pressure to balance expectations and joyYou want to build a community to support you during your pivotYou want to understand how to build a business from scratchYou're curious about what it really takes to launch a podcast (hint: it's not vibes alone) If you enjoyed this episode, leave us five stars โ I heard that if you rate the show five stars, something lucky happens.
