Jonathan Fields, Career Renegade

Jonathan Field’s job title is Chief Renegade Officer.  And it’s not just a fancy title.  Jonathan spent time as a mobile DJ, a hedge fund lawyer and a highly successful entrepreneur in the health business starting up his own yoga studio.  He’s taken that hard-earned wisdom and written a best-selling book Career Renegade: How to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love and is building a community of people who want to “work happy and live well” at CareerRenegade.com, you’ll see the subtitle there, the thing that sums up the site, is “work happy, live well”.

In this interview you’ll hear Jonathan and I discuss:

• how Jonathan made the biggest leap in his entrepreneurial career – on September 10th 2001 (and what he did about it)
• talk about the one big question that should frame your next career move (and yes, it’s a classic Great Work question)
• tackle the whole topic of courage – what it is and what it isn’t
• learn what it really means when someone says, “You can’t do that!”
