Hello, world.

Welcome to discover your talent to do what you love.

I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Tuesday, I interview someone from around the world who's discovered their talents to do work they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

On Fridays, I interview an individual with many years of experience from one of the most popular or interesting occupations or professions who shares an insider's look at what it's really like to do what they do.

I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Mark Miller. Welcome, Mark.

Well, thank you. It's great to be here.

Thank you, Mark, are you using your talents doing work that you love?

Oh, you betcha. All right. Well, we want to hear the whole story.

Mark Miller's career journey included 22 years at IBM, several thriving tech startups, a stint as a high school math teacher, a gig raising funds, and a near fatal bicycle accident that changed his perspective forever.

Thirty years of wandering the proverbial career desert, often repeating the same mistakes over and over,

taught him his most crucial lesson. Most people don't really know what makes them happy at their core,

what fulfills them. His latest endeavor, career pivot, uses his extensive training experience to

help others, especially baby boomers, find careers they could grow into for the

decades that lie ahead. Well, Mark, that's a pithy summary of your career. Tell our listeners

around the world what you're engaged in now that has you excited and motivated, if you would,

please. Sure. I am working on the second edition of my book of Repurpose Your Career, and its first

edition was a practical guide for baby boomers.

This one will be a practical guide for the second half of life.

Okay.

Because what I'm finding is besides dealing with baby boomers, I deal with a lot of

Gen Xers now mostly in their 40s and early 50s, who are successful and hate what they do.
