Breaking Work

Entrepreneur Michael Gardon is on a mission to help people BREAK work and get intentional about their career journey. In 2018 work wasn't working for Mike, so he decided to BREAK work and design a better work-life. Now, he helps people do the same. Hear from corporate careerists who have found fulfillment in new industries. Hear from entrepreneurs and solopreneurs who invest in themselves in pursuit of a more fulfilled, more sane life. Hear from side hustlers who are building more resilient work lives. Hear what their break moment was, hear how they overcame resistance and their actionable advice for doing the same. You'll also hear a short strategy or story each week from Mike's own experience reinventing his career 6 different times! There's never been a better time to take control.

This is one of the most insightful and inspiring podcasts that I have ever come across! Michael does such a great job of sharing his career-related wisdom and I love how he leads meaningful conversations with guests who bring so much experience to the table. The passion is palpable in each and every episode - definitely recommend tuning in!
Really enjoyed the interviews!

I listened to the most recent episode with Patrick Tannous and he had some great insight into what it takes to turn a passion project side-hustle into an established business like Tiesta Tea. This episode really grabbed me in as a west-coast tea lover and I can’t wait to check out Tiesta the next time I’m visiting Chicago! As a small-business owner, I love learning from other entrepreneurs and Patrick’s story was no different. Michael asked thought-provoking questions which allowed Patrick to respond with great detail on his experiences - a true testament to his hosting.
Enjoyable podcast. Great content for job seekers.

I found this podcast about five months ago when I started a career transition and have been listening as much as possible. Justin does a great job selecting relevant, inspiring, and engaging content and guests. I highly recommend it to others who are job searching and/or seeking career advice. I picked up a lot of great tips which helped boost my confidence while applying and interviewing for jobs and this week I landed at two different job offers.
Good intent, awkward follow thru

Justin needs to let his guests speak more. It’s really uncomfortable to listen to him dominate the discussion, put words in their mouths, and rephrase their points. I think he means well but after a dozen of these I’m off to the next show.
Great Series For Those Looking To Improve Their Career
04/08/2021
Whether you are starting out, looking for a new role or how to better your position in the role you are in, this is the podcast for you. The host asks the questions you wish you could regarding interviews (“When they ask this, what are they really looking for?”). Every episode provides value to move you just that one (or 10) steps forward.
