Welcome back to The Flourish Careers Podcast! Season 7 is here, and we’re kicking things off with a bang—a three-part series designed to help you set the foundation for a vibrant year ahead.

What if your career wasn’t about climbing a ladder but collecting meaningful experiences aligning with your values? That’s the idea we’re exploring in today’s episode—an idea that completely changed my perspective years ago when a mentor asked me a significant question: “What kind of experiences do you want to gain?”

And because inspiration can come from anywhere, we’re drawing lessons from the one and only Snoop Dogg! From rapper to entrepreneur, cookbook author to TV personality, Snoop’s career proves that success isn’t about rigid plans—it’s about saying yes to opportunities that spark excitement.

Join me in redefining growth and starting this year with purpose.
