Settling for a career that doesn’t spark joy is a choice you don’t have to make. In this inspiring conversation, George Appling—entrepreneur, author, and self-described “passionpreneur”—shares how to avoid settling and instead pick your path with intention. Drawing from his eclectic journey from global consulting to leading in the cell phone industry and now building passion-driven ventures like a Medieval theme park, George unpacks the framework behind his book Don’t Settle: A Pick-Your-Path Guide to Intentional Work. He outlines five unique paths to align passion and career, the power of role models, mentors, and accountability partners, and why persistence, ownership, and clarity are essential for meaningful success.
