Do you wake up in the morning excited to go to work?

If not, why?

Do you have an answer?

There is no reason to be living a life that doesn't suit you or make you happy.

The first thing to realize is that things don't work out unless you make them.

You are the person in charge of your life. Be willing to take risks. Learn to get into the habit of doing the hard things that need to be done to change your path to get you where you want to go in life and in your career.

This episode will encourage you to (re)condition yourself to be wired to take risks and live on the edge- to go after the things that you want in your life.

Our guest, Lee Cockerell shares his insight from years of experience learning and growing not only his storied career in the hospitality industry, but also his growth as a person.

Lee continues to enlighten people on how their experiences and what they're wiling to do to make the changes they need to in order to get where they want to go is the guiding light throughout their life and career.

Did you know that as many as 80% of all jobs needing to be filled never make it to an online job board?

Most people don't even know that there is a hidden job market out there.

And, if you do know about that hidden job market, you're probably wondering how you would even go about tapping into it.

You're in luck! Today you'll hear from Mac Prichard, a public relations strategist and the publisher of Mac's list, the premier resource for connecting passionate professionals to meaningful and creative work throughout Oregon and SW Washington.

In today's episode, Volunteerism and the Hidden Job Market, Mac shares why you shouldn't overlook professional volunteerism when it comes to furthering your career or when you're looking to make a career switch.

He provides insight on how you can be strategic in your volunteer opportunities and how easy it can be to build a strong network of industry professionals during your career search.

As Mac puts it:
Volunteering "gives you a chance to show others what you can do. It gives you an opportunity to connect with leaders and influencers in your field."

Listen to my chat with Mac as we'll also get into how you start that conversation about volunteering in the career field that you're interested in to get you ahead of the competition during your job search.

On paper, it looks like you've reached all of the checkpoints of success:

You got good grades and graduated with a degree in a field that got you on the fast track to a job right out of college.

You got that promotion (and raise!) that you worked hard for at a job that any other person would be jealous of...

But then, it becomes quiet and you start to wonder:

"Is this all there is? Is this the path that I'm supposed to be on?"

Short answer: Probably not.

Next question: Now what?
