what's up rich friends welcome back to another episode of net worth and chill with me your host Vivian 2 aka your rich bff and your favorite wall street girly this week

I have a big question for you do you hate your job have you ever wanted to pivot your career but you feel like it's too late or that you're too old or that you don't have enough skills that would actually apply to your new gig

well you're not alone a 2022 Gallup global poll found that out of the world's 1 billion full time workers only 15% of people are engaged at work leaving a significant 85%

unhappy at their jobs with so many people counting down the minutes until the close of each day it made me wonder what about the folks who are able to make a major career pivot later on how does that work and what do they do before they felt comfortable actually taking that leap of faith

well don't you worry we're going to cover all of that today everything from quitting your job to chasing your dreams and how to change your mindset to feel like you are deserving of career fulfillment at any age there's nobody better to help guide us through this conversation than a former law firm partner

New York Times best-selling author viral tiktok sensation everyone please welcome Joanne mall and arrow aka the Korean vegan

hey thank you so much for chatting with me Joanne I'm so happy to see you again happy been since I last saw you

I'm doing great I I think I um I wanted to mention that I opened a Roth IRA since we last met precisely because of your advice

um well I'm flattered because I feel like you are one of the smartest widiest people on the internet so that I can teach you something I feel really really happy
