Hello, world, welcome to discover your talent to do what you love.

I'm creator and host, Don Hutchison.

do. Today I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Jay Block. Welcome, Jay. Glad to be here.

projects. I sort of, I'm one of those few guys that at least try to multitask, and sometimes I'm

successful, sometimes I'm not. But I worked on my 12th book, which was my McGraw-Hill book called

Five Steps to Rapid Employment. We've

made that into an online program for a number of organizations, whether it's the Department of

Labor or whether it's schools and colleges that would use it in their career centers and so forth.
