Meta-Cast Bob Galen & Josh Anderson

Remember the https://www.meta-cast.com/episode/episode-182-dont-get-pickled (old "pickling" episode)? We do, and we realized that we are, in fact, pickled!!! Uh oh!!!!
So what are we going to do about it? The same thing you should do if you and/or your team are stuck in a rut. Stop and figure out what version 2 of you or your team should look like. After that's done, start mapping out your journey to achieve that evolution. Finally, start evolving and crushing everything in your way.
That's what we're off to do! See you in October! Yes. October.

Everywhere you look, you have dozens of friends or co-workers changing jobs. I'd bet that more than half of your connections that just switched jobs received a sizable jump in pay. Now what? Do you jump ship and chase more money? But you like your job and the people you work with!
Don't worry, we have you covered. We walk through a handful of scenarios to help you figure this out. Do you have any tips for other listeners? Let's discuss!!!

In many industries, the concept of staying with a company for 30+ years and retiring doesn't exist anymore. Heck, many of the companies out there haven't even been around for 30 years. That means you're going to have to leave a company at some point. What's the best approach to that situation? Bob and Josh share their thoughts, but we'd love to hear yours. Let's discuss!
