The Career on Course Podcast has one primary goal in mind: ensuring, perhaps for the first time in any format or venue, that aspiring professionals can have intimate and unprecedented access to someone who has "gone before them" to prevent time and financial investments in what may be the wrong career for them. Career on Course is the ultimate "bring your parent to school" experience so listeners can become more strategic and intentional about one of the most important and impactful decisions of their life: their career choice.
