What if all those random jobs you had were actually pointing you toward what you’re supposed to do next?
That’s the kind of stuff that came up in this week’s episode of Gen X Unplugged.
I talked with Mark Wigginton, who’s Certified Career Transition Coach (and Triathlete).
Mark’s been through it — 20+ jobs, many pivots, and now he helps people figure out what’s next.
A few takeaways that stuck:
Your weird job history might actually be your superpower
Storytelling and sales aren’t just for marketers — they’re survival skills
There may not always be jobs (thank you AI)... but there’s always work
The IBM layoff story that sounds VERY familiar
Loneliness is real, especially for older guys — and we need to talk about it
Marks short take on Gilligan's Island
If you’re feeling a shift coming on, and want some of advice/motivation from few guys who've been there and done that, I think you’ll get a lot out of this one.
Press play…
As always, if anything hits home, let me know in the comments. And if you like this kind of stuff, hit subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next.
See you over there,
