Today I’m excited to welcome Simon Hurry to The Quarter Life Comeback.

Simon is the first of our mentor-type guests who I recently had the privilege of meeting. After learning more about his story and the work he now does, I knew I just had to get him on the show to share his wisdom.

Having followed the conventional steps of his chosen career, Simon soon realized that the path he was on was not what he really wanted. At 36 years of age and with a family to look after, he decided to to start over again and has since created a life on his own terms.

A lot of Simon’s work is focused around personal strengths and we get into how to find yours, how to use them, why it’s important to do so and much more! This is a powerful episode and you don’t want to miss it (I had a hard time picking out my favorite quote!).
