A big hello from Raleigh, North Carolina. Yes. I moved to Raleigh from Portland a couple of weeks ago. So now I'm doing my recording in Raleigh. So if you are ever in Raleigh, reach out to me. Let's have a cup of coffee.

My guest is Jharry Guevara, a Business Development Manager, Marketing Director at VOIPRIng Network and Zoho Business Software Platform Architect.

Today, we are going to talk about what does it take to make a successful career transition.

In this episode: * What is the right way to make a career transition? * How to break into an industry with a high barrier of entry? * What are actionable tips people can follow when deciding on a career change? * What are the most important things to consider when changing careers? * How can you diversify the skillset you have within your field of choice? * How should you introduce yourself when seeking new employment after changing careers? * What are the challenging aspects of making a career transition? * What is the hardest thing about switching careers? * How can people make better decisions about their careers?

Quotes from the episode: "The more I kept those 10,000 hours in mind, the more hours I put in, the more I started growing as a person. So, that was a very complicated transition. But after I made up my mind, I started looking for side jobs and side gigs."

"One analogy I like to look at is almost like playing an instrument. You learn how to play the instrument by copying somebody else's notes. But after a while, you understand what a good note is and what is a bad note. And you'll be so good that you could be able to mix the notes based on your flavor. So that's the same thing with this whole journey."
