In that past episode, Chad had just quit his job with a bit of uncertainty about what was on the horizon while Kelley was reimagining the growth of her business and bringing on full time employees. Ken offered to do the "Get Clear" Career Assessments with both of them and they decided to record it live as a part two for the listeners to offer a beautiful understanding of what is possible when you really know what individualized skills you have and what passions fuel your drive. Now, just a month later, it’s as if Ken could see the future. Chad has started a new job that he loves and Kelley has hired two full time employees to grow her business. Today you’ll hear about how they used the power of the assessment to really break down their mission and what motivates them in order to make the next best steps in each of their careers.
