The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | Turning Your Hobby into a Second Career with Greg Colden

Ep #69: Turning Your Hobby into a Second Career with Greg Colden

April 26, 2023

It’s never too late to follow your dreams. So, in this episode, I’m interviewing somebody very special to me to demonstrate what’s possible when it comes to reinventing your life and taking the steps to turn your passion or hobby into your second career and a new chapter of your story.

My guest this week is Greg Colden. He’s my brother, and his story has inspired me to make some major shifts in my life since leaving my role as a television executive. But today is about his story, how he became one of the happiest people I know, and came to embody the expression, “If you love what you do for a living, you will never work a day in your life.”

Tune in this week to discover the secret to turning your passion into your second career. Greg Colden is sharing how he left the corporate world to start a second chapter of his life. We’re discussing what it takes to step out of your comfort zone, explore what else is possible, and the value of having hobbies, whether or not they turn into your next career.
