This week on the Unstuck Career Podcast, we're shifting the focus to dreams—yours, specifically. Too often, we find ourselves clocking in and out, helping someone else achieve their vision while our own aspirations take a backseat. I open up about my own complicated history with goals and how, for years, I felt stuck following a path laid out by others—bosses, companies, or just whatever seemed like the “logical next step.” If you’ve ever wondered why you feel unfulfilled in your work, this is the episode that challenges you to examine whose dream you’re actually building.

We’ll dig into the power of identifying your own vision, why simply doing the work isn’t enough, and the critical first steps needed to move in your own direction. I’ll share relatable stories—like how a question from my manager at FedEx made me realize I’d been living someone else’s plan for years—and why it’s time for you to claim your own. Plus, you’ll get a sneak preview of our upcoming conversation with Alexia, who’s learning to navigate her own path out of a toxic 9-to-5.

Ready to become unstoppable and get back to a career you actually love? Listen in for practical tips to help you move towards your dream, find more happiness, and finally live into your purpose. Connect with me or learn more at kenwilliamscoaching.com.

This week, I’m joined by Jason Hill, founder of the Owwll app—a game-changing platform designed to bring real, meaningful conversations back to networking. If you’ve ever felt turned off by traditional networking events or those LinkedIn pitches that go straight to the sales pitch, this episode will make you rethink how you connect. We dig into why relationships are at the heart of every opportunity and how a giving mindset is the real secret to building authentic connections.

Jason shares the story behind Owwll, from his frustration with one-way conversations and endless unanswered DMs, to how Owwll empowers people to access genuine conversations—sometimes with leaders and experts they’d never otherwise meet. You’ll hear about incredible success stories, like new careers launched, personal transformations, and even cross-country moves sparked by unexpected connections on the app. We also reveal strategies for standing out, why reviews and authentic giving create accountability, and how “go, you get” became our mantra for embracing possibility.

Whether you want to find your next client, share your journey, or just build community with like-minded people, this episode offers practical tools and new perspectives. Want to try the Owwll app?

Ever feel chained to a job you don’t love because the perks are just too good to give up? This week, we tackle the myth of “golden handcuffs”—those alluring benefits and comforts that keep you stuck in roles you're only lukewarm about. I share candid stories from my own journey, revealing why it took me years to see past the so-called security of airline discounts, free vacations, and steady paychecks—and what finally got me moving toward a more fulfilling life.

We'll unpack the tricky mindset that makes those golden handcuffs feel so real, even when the math (and your happiness) says otherwise. You’ll hear the simple—but powerful—question I ask clients who can’t seem to pull the trigger on a career change, and learn why the biggest risks are often what you’re not doing.

If you’re longing for more but afraid to lose the safety net, this episode is your nudge to start asking what you’re giving up by staying put, and how you can take the first step toward work you love. Want support breaking free? Connect with me at kenwilliamscoaching.com.
