Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Innovator's Mindset podcast with George Couros.
Drawing inspiration from a poignant personal experience on a pig farm, George delves into the importance of recognizing when it's time to move on from situations where you don’t feel valued. In a candid reflection, he shares how an unexpected job rejection in education led to unforeseen opportunities that significantly altered his career trajectory.
