One of my favorite activities with new clients is the initial audit of their career. Most importantly that conversation lays an important foundation for any of the work I'm doing with them, whether that's a job search or more general professional development.
I was reminded of that exercise when listening to this interview with late night host Desus Nice, formerly of Desus & Mero and recent Daily Show guest host. Desus walks through his entire professional journey which includes dead rat disposal, domain name brokering, strip club management, and eventually comedy host. It's a wild journey and it all only makes sense once you hear all of the context. It's well worth a listen/watch.
As you progress in your own career make sure to explore and understand the journey thus far not just the destination you want next. If you need assistance with that kind of thing I'm here to help.
