In this episode, Vicki Atkinson and I talk with one of our favorite repeat guests, blogger and author, Mark Petruska, about how to be the new guy.
Mark tells us the fascinating story of his new job. We talk about Mark’s great willingness to lean in to change.
We learn from Mark about living life to the fullest. As always, he keeps us laughing as he tells us about the excellent timing that occurred for the most recent solar eclipse to land on his first day on the new job.
This is a great episode about how to be daring when facing change. We know you’ll love it.

The Heart of the Matter 
Mark had some interesting tips about job seeking and new jobs. Like Mark, I remember the second thoughts when newly employed. No matter what the job, it’s always more difficult than it seems! And blogging micro moments can spawn a wealth of fun posts. Great interview, Mark! Thanks, Wynne. 🙂
