Pat welcomes back JP Michel — career coach and founder of SparkPath — for a vulnerable, real-time coaching session recorded during a pivotal moment in Pat’s life. Fresh off a layoff and questioning whether he was just going through the motions again, Pat sits down with JP to explore what he actually wants from his next chapter. Using SparkPath’s Challenge Cards — a tool used by over 100,000 young professionals — JP guides Pat through the uncertainty, helping him reconnect with excitement, clarify his needs, and rethink what meaningful work could look like.

Together, they explore what it means to choose purpose over autopilot — and how to make space for something new, even in seasons of fear and transition.

What You’ll Learn:

  • What to do when career success no longer feels aligned
  • How to identify the problems you want to solve — not just the roles you can fill
  • The value of coaching during major life transitions
  • Why defining your needs and desires is harder (and more important) than it seems
  • How to expand your job search beyond what's posted online
  • What vulnerability, intuition, and clarity can offer in moments of professional doubt
