Best of VVV – Mac Prichard – Find a Job that Matters

This is one of my favorite episodes.  I learned about about me and my current thoughts on MY career and work.  I learned that I'm done with my "career" and mostly in pre-retirement wind down phase.  You might learn something about you as well.

Mac Prichard is the founder and publisher of Mac's List, an online community for people looking for rewarding, creative, and meaningful work. More than 80,000 people a month visit the site, which includes a job board, a blog, and courses about the nuts and bolts of job hunting and career management.

A leading career expert, Mac helps people who are looking for a job during all of life's transitions: millennials getting a first job, midlife professionals switching sectors, parents getting back to work after raising a family, or baby boomers who want to change careers.

Mac is proud to own two registered B-Corp companies, which use the power of markets to solve social and environmental problems. His is the author of "Land your Dream Job Anywhere" and hosts the weekly podcast, Find Your Dream Job.
