Coaching Realness with Meghan Daum
It's time for another real coaching session. Michael's client-for-the-day is Meghan Daum, host of The Unspeakable podcast and author of many bestselling and critically acclaimed books, including The Problem With Everything. Meghan is a writer who hit all the marks of literary success early in her career. She published her first collection of essays at 30, and since then has written several additional books of essays plus a comic novel. But in recent years she's made a big pivot and this has presented big challenges, as she shared in a fascinating episode she called The Tyranny of the Mid-Career Pivot. So Michael invited her on the show to have a coaching session about it. Michael is a huge fan of Meghan's work but in this episode is just a coach. The topic in front of them relates a lot to money - namely, how to make more of it. Curious? Tune in. This is some good stuff!
