Episode 524 Things I Wished I Would Have Known at the Start of My Career The Dr CK Bray Show

- Business
One of my first jobs was as a lifeguard at Alta Canyon Swimming Pool. To earn extra cash, I taught swim lessons. I also worked at Dry Cleaners, a yogurt shop, a pharmaceutical company, and about three other companies/careers before starting the Adaption Institute. One of my favorite things to do at the Adaption Institute when it was just starting was coaching people in their careers. I learned so much from hearing people’s stories and experiences.
There is something great about getting the advice of someone who has “been there and done that.” My combined experience with those of over 3,000 people I have worked with over the years has come to you in this podcast.
I read an article by Ryan Holiday, who runs the Daily Stoic website and is one of my favorite authors. His article, "37 Pieces of Career Advice I Wish I’d Known Earlier,” sparked this podcast. I share some of his, my own, and the advice of those I have worked to help you out, no matter where in your career you are. I am sure you will enjoy it.
QUOTES BY DR. BRAY
“Watch people. Use your eyes, not your ears.”
“Be the driver of your career.” “Rarely does something happen faster than we think it will.”
“You shake the orange tree, and lemons fall out.”
