Beyond the Rocks: Reinvention, Resilience, and a Career in Geology with Susan Nash

In this insightful episode of The Success in Motion Podcast, host Michael Bishop sits down with Susan Nash, a geologist, economist, English scholar, and published author whose 35-year career is a masterclass in reinvention. From the oil fields of Oklahoma to international book fairs in Slovenia, Susan shares her journey through industry collapse, academic pursuits, and creative expression. Her story is a testament to the power of curiosity, resilience, and staying true to oneself—even through major professional pivots.

Susan talks about her early days in geology, surviving an industry downturn in her twenties, and how that crisis led her to explore new fields including economics and English literature. She opens up about finding solace and identity through avant-garde poetry and literature, publishing in international markets, and why embracing change has been her key to longevity and fulfillment.

Listeners will hear Susan’s advice on leveraging transferable skills, how to start over without going back to zero, and the importance of work-life balance that actually works for you. Plus, hear Susan’s take on passive income, creative independence, and designing a life that supports your passions.
