Career Bound by Praxis

Seth Marlowe has 28 years of experience in the corporate world ranging from individual contributor to senior executive. His two daughters, Brooke (21) and Lauren (24) have dedicated a combined total of 1 semester to the college experience. And, yet, each of them is crushing it.

In this episode of Self-Directed, Mitchell and Seth sit down to discuss raising kids with a career-prep mindset and tips to set your child up to find fulfillment and happiness in adulthood.

In this episode:

• Instilling a growth mindset and, most importantly, confidence in your teenager
• Build a network before you start your career and then never stop
• Most businesses don’t highly reward rule followers, they reward calculated risk-takers - how to be one
• The single most important way to advance = find ways to deliver unexpected value
• Fulfillment and happiness doesn’t necessarily mean $$ - balance is key
• The simple formula to live by: Reality - Expectation = Happiness
• The only thing that’s certain is things will change; never, ever allow yourself to get stuck
