0:00 36:46

You’re in a period of transition. Things are changing. You’re trying new things but haven’t yet found clarity. You’re struggling to figure out how to make your greatest contribution. How do you find a way forward when things are up in the air?

In this episode, Megan talks with Michael about his own experience of this feeling during his summer sabbatical. They discuss his takeaways from those three months off, what he tried and what he went back to afterward, and how he determined the way to move forward.

In this episode, you’ll discover—

• How sabbaticals sometimes go wrong • The fundamental need to make a meaningful contribution • The importance of trying new things, even when they don’t work • Why clarity can be hard to achieve but accelerates things once you have it
