When someone pivots from one career to another, it sounds very daunting. It seems wild how they're transitioning to something completely different. There's a sense of fear, excitement, a set of skills within a new and untethered territory. This is where we deep-dive with Ahmad Imam, whom we've had on previously (Chapter 4). This time it's how he's transferred from the property game to self-improvement, working with Success Resources who host large speaking events and conferences with the guests of Richard Branson, Gary Vaynerchuk, Robert Kiyosaki, and many more. We speak with Ahmad on what he's learned from being bullied throughout childhood and parts of adulthood and turning that into unwavering confidence the past couple years as a top voice on LinkedIn. Career transitions can happen when they're least expected especially when people's jobs are taken away from them with COVID. Please take a screenshot of this and share on your socials of your golden takeaway/s and tag @nxtgenmvmnt and Ahmad. Greatly appreci

Not one person got it right when they were asked in 2015 "where do you see yourself in 5 years' time?" A global pandemic has changed the course of how we've lived and it has taken a toll on our normality. And this can affect our identities with how we see ourselves. Which brings us to our next guest for Chapter 24, Brandon Clift. He's a facilitator for the men's group 'ManKind Project' where he is a guiding light with helping people lose weight to navigating men through their deep-rooted triggers. He even has a podcast segment called “Mask Off Mondays”, which has men from around the world open up and speak vulnerably on the struggles they have and how it’s helped other men open up. This seemed like perfect timing to bring him on and go under the surface. *** Follow Brandon below: website - https://www.brandonclift.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thebrandonclift/?hl=en LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonclift/
