Feeling tired or lacking the passion for a job you once loved is normal. There are ways to reignite that fire.

Good morning!

The Great Resignation was the product of a pandemic and general fatigue. In the past, I’ve argued that it could be good for people looking for a change.

In the key talking points of our conversation, he outlined what he did to change his mindset around work from tired to inspired.
