We’re not the lost generation. We’re the underestimated one.

  • #34 Gary Bremermann: Clarity Over Comfort—Career Change on Your Own Terms
    2025/06/08
    In Part 2 of his conversation, Tokyo-based American Gary Bremermann moves beyond his own story to share the frameworks and realities that shape career reinvention today. From his Seven Steps to Career Clarity to his candid views on Japan’s ageist hiring market, Gary offers a Gen X blueprint for change: slow, thoughtful, grounded in values, and fiercely human.

    For anyone tired of chasing titles and ready to build a career worth living on their own terms, this episode delivers both the hard truths and the hope.

    >>Coaching the Opportunity Seekers
    “Mid-career professionals weren’t asking what they wanted—they were asking what was available.”

    Gary explains why so many talented people get trapped following default paths—and how coaching helps them reconnect with what they actually want.

    >>Your Story Is the Starting Point
    “Your past holds the clues to your future—you just have to read it differently.”

    He breaks down why career clarity begins with mining your real life for patterns, strengths, and missed signals.

    >>Values Before Vision
    “Forget the mission statement—start with your values.”

    Gary shares why starting with personal values, not corporate buzzwords, is the foundation for sustainable career growth.

    >>Practical Dreaming
    “One dream job without limits. One dream job grounded in reality.”

    He explains how a two-track dream job exercise helps people balance ambition with achievable moves.

    >>Japan’s Aging Workforce and Recruiting Reality
    “The labor pool is shrinking, but the hiring practices haven’t caught up.”

    Gary shares firsthand insights on ageism, cultural resistance to change, and why Japan remains one of the hardest recruiting markets in the world.

  • #33 Gary Bremermann: Hitchhikes, Burnouts, and Building a Career Worth Living
    2025/06/07
    Tokyo-based American Gary Bremermann didn’t stumble into career clarity—he fought for it across countries, careers, and crises. From hitchhiking North America to building and burning out of his first company, Gary’s story is a blueprint for real Gen X reinvention: practical, nonlinear, and painfully honest.

    In this first of a two-part series, he shares how early travel, entrepreneurial scars, and the brutal experience of misaligned success shaped the recruiter and career coach he is today. For Gen Xers still figuring out their next chapter—or building a life while surviving their own rough drafts—this episode offers both grit and grounded hope.

    >>The National Geographic Kid
    “I grew up with every issue ever printed—and a mind wired to explore.”

    Gary shares how childhood dreams of travel sparked a lifelong hunger for exploration, curiosity, and career experimentation.

    >>Hitchhiking Lessons You Don’t Learn in Business School
    “I learned how to talk to anyone, anywhere, about anything.”

    Gary reflects on how crossing the U.S. and Canada on foot and rail taught him real-world communication skills he still uses as a recruiter and coach.

    >>Dropping Out—Twice
    “School couldn’t hold me—but neither could drifting forever.”

    He talks about his struggles with traditional education, dropping out, traveling the world, and ultimately rebuilding himself on his own terms.

    >>Entrepreneurial Burnout: The Hidden Cost of Chasing Money
    “I was expanding globally—and being crushed by my own business.”

    Gary shares how chasing financial success without personal alignment almost destroyed him—and why selling his first company saved his life.

    >>Finding Freedom on Different Terms
    “Money isn’t the goal. Alignment is.”

    After exiting his business and hiring a life-changing coach, Gary explains how he reframed financial success as a byproduct of purpose, not the point.

  • #32 Erica Sosna: Build the Career You Want—Before Someone Else Designs It for You
    2025/06/06
    In Part 2 of her conversation, Erica Sosna bridges personal resilience and professional wisdom—sharing how The Career Equation helps both individuals and organizations build careers that actually fit.

    Instead of offering empty advice, Erica gives a practical, human-centered model that empowers people to align their skills, passions, impact, and environment into a sustainable career path.

    For Gen Xers tired of ad-hoc career advice and vague empowerment slogans, this episode offers a grounded, actionable framework to take back control—whether you’re rebuilding, pivoting, or designing your next decade.

    >>Turning Recovery Into Renewal
    “I used the same frameworks I teach—because they work when life gets real.”

    Erica reflects on how personal recovery deepened her belief that career design must be rooted in human needs, not corporate scripts.

    >>The Power of Acceptance
    “Accept it as if you chose it.”

    She shares the life philosophy that fueled her healing—and how it applies to navigating career setbacks, redundancies, and reinventions.

    >>Start With the End in Mind
    “What do you want to experience—not just achieve?”

    Erica explains how vivid future visioning, tied to emotion not status, creates a powerful magnet for sustainable action and career progress.

    >>The Career Equation, Demystified
    “Skills + Passion + Impact ÷ Environment = Career Sweet Spot.”

    She walks through the four critical elements employers and individuals need to align for lasting engagement, growth, and loyalty.

    >>Career Conversations That Actually Work
    “You wouldn’t run 10 accounting systems. Why have 10 ways to talk about careers?”

    Erica shares why companies like Amazon and Nomura are adopting The Career Equation to bring structure, simplicity, and human connection back into career development.
