"A professional change in midlife can provide a much-needed reset—at least when you’re looking for a career that more closely aligns with your passion. But finding what you love, especially once you’ve gone down an entirely different path, can feel impossible."
On bamboo & glass, we talk about the abundant possibilities of who we can choose to be, and one pillar we discuss is career. We all know the career jump is challenging. It’s oftentimes where most of us get stuck: the fear of pursuing our dreams or stepping outside of our comfort zone. But what we don’t talk as much about are the questions and sobering realizations we continue to have months, even years into the new venture, and how we relate that back to our “old selves.” We'll hear two past guests, Karen Mok and Serena Lee Kim, share their meandering journeys of wandering through career, unpacking success and passion alongside reinventing and redefining their identities.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
