The Winding Road
This podcast is for people like us. Our career has been what some would call 'non-linear.' When we look for a job, no one - especially recruiters - can put the pieces of our experience together. We want to change careers but aren't sure how. When we land a new role or change careers, that's just the beginning of next-leveling our career. If you're one of us, this podcast is for you. Join Host (and author) Travis L. Scott as he takes what he's learned from two decades of marketing and recruiting to change the way you approach your career and, in the process, change your life.

Sometimes we think of a career change as being a 180 from what we were previously doing. However, a common pivot is to make an adjacent change.
An adjacent career change is moving into something that already 'touches' what you're already doing. It's not something completely different.
Dan Cafiero called it "evolving with the market."
He started out in digital advertising and event planning and eventually moved into a more strategic and technical role involved with ABM (account-based marketing) and program management.
We also talked about:
- What a passion really is and does it apply to your career
- Why you need to try different things to be able to see what you couldn't before- hence the 'adjacent' nature of a career change
- How to take an ABM approach to your job search
