About Dan Smolen
At the start of 2018, Dan Smolen turned off the lights at his executive recruitment firm, The Green Suits, LLC, and ended his headhunting career. After a rewarding 20-year-run career of placing hundreds of best-match professionals within client companies, Smolen recognized that even his most successful job placements did not guarantee the long-term happiness of the parties involved in the process, especially the placed candidates. Dan’s new purpose is to help workers like his former clients and candidates, but also thousands of others, follow their dreams to do meaningful work. Meaningful work is profound. It protects the planet, empowers people, and is fun. The Dan Smolen Experience provides thought-leadership through several channels, including:

• The Tightrope with Dan Smolen Podcast (Available on Apple Podcasts and other channels);
• Book Authorship, and;
• Speaking Engagements
