Most people “reinvent” their career by… updating their LinkedIn and taking the same job somewhere else.
That’s not reinvention. That’s relocation.
In this episode, Todd Jason and Chris Thide break down how to actually game plan your reinvention so your next career move can be your best – because you designed it around who you want to become, not who you were.
You’ll learn the 3 stages of reinvention and what your game plan should focus on in each:
-
Stage 1 – The Writing’s On The Wall
You’re burned out, being quietly pushed out, or can feel the industry shifting under your feet. Todd and Chris show you why your first move is not “apply for the same role somewhere else,” and what to do instead. -
Stage 2 – The Portal Opens
You’ve started consulting, launched a side thing, or discovered new ways to make money. This is where game planning gets real: KPIs, which skills to build, what to double down on, and how to stop slipping back into your old identity. -
Stage 3 – The Holy Grail
When your new path is real and the income can match or beat your old job. Now you’re designing a 3–5 year career roadmap that aligns with your freedom, purpose, and lifestyle… not just a paycheck.
If you’re a mid-career professional in that “something has to change” moment, this episode will help you stop drifting and start building a concrete plan for what’s next.
