About this episode:
What if everything you have learned, achieved and experienced so far isn't the culmination of your career—but preparation for what could become your most meaningful chapter?
International bestselling author, entrepreneur and renowned disruption expert Jay Samit has spent decades at the forefront of technological and business change, working alongside some of the world's most influential innovators and helping transform major organisations. Yet after reaching the heights of corporate success, Jay found himself asking a different question: what next?
In this episode of The Business Elevation Show, Chris Cooper talks with Jay about his new book, The Second Act Advantage, and why our experience, relationships, knowledge and perspective can become powerful assets for reinvention.
At a time when AI is radically reshaping work and longer lives are giving many of us decades of additional opportunity, how can we make those years truly count?
Drawing on inspiring examples and his own remarkable reinventions—from technology pioneer and corporate leader to author, teacher and artist—Jay shares how we can embrace change, identify new possibilities and turn everything we've learned into greater purpose, fulfilment and impact.
