Thinking about a career change, but scared of what it might cost you? Worried you’ll have to start from scratch, take a pay cut, or retrain for something you’re not even sure you can do? 

Today, James Moan shares what it was like for all of those fears to come true – and how he kept going anyway. Through courage, commitment, and vulnerability, he found his way into a career that feels more fulfilling than he ever thought possible.

This is a story of facing down fear, overcoming setbacks, and asking not “What if it goes wrong?”—but “Who do I want to be?”
