Here some highlights from our discussion on how to repurpose your career:

- “Failure is an option” and a requirement, fail fast, then pivot
- Big changes can occur by just moving with the flow
- We discuss the importance of self-awareness or as Marc phrases it as “Know Thyself.”
- “Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you should do it all the time!”
- Authentically put your best foot forward, then an employer can if you’re fit
- Marc goes back in time with his clients to the best/worst times in their career to understand “why.”
- Making the same mistakes twice is not a bad thing
- We discuss the chapter on personal operating systems. He uses the Berkman assessments with each of his clients.
