<p><b>SHOW NOTES EPISODE 210: “How to find your passion, and a career you’ll love!”</b></p> <p>GUEST: Andrea Koppel (Part 1 of 2)</p> <p>TOPIC: Has anyone ever told you, “just follow your passion”? But what if you aren’t sure you know what your “passion” is? </p> <p>Or, maybe, as was true for me, what you were passionate about when you first launched your career has shifted as you’ve grown and evolved.

But one thing you likely won’t find is how the topic of finding your passion relates to influence. </p> <p>Interest, and being interested, and approaching new ideas and opportunities with curiosity and an open perspective aimed at what you can learn is a critical part of building and sustaining influence. Doing so requires that we embrace a mindset that is focused on growth, versus one that shuts you off from new ideas and opportunities you might not otherwise have considered. This openness related to your career can help you connect the dots between your interests and passions and help you find ways to parlay those things into career opportunities throughout your life. </p> <p>THIS WEEK’S GUEST:</p> <p>Andrea Koppel is the founder of College2Career, a digital, learning platform that enables her to help anxious college students and recent graduates figure out the types of jobs and careers that they will love. </p> <p>As someone who has held successful careers in more than four industries over the course of her 30 year career, she knows both how to tap into your passion, but also how to evolve it as you evolve and grow in your life and career — a fact that becomes even more important as we progress and become more experienced. </p> <p>Prior to starting College2Career and her Top 100 ra
