You don't have to start at the bottom when you pivot to your dream career.

In this episode, Allison Lane talks with business coach, author, and Second Act Success podcast host Shannon Russell about designing a “second act” (or third, or encore career) that honors who you’ve been and who you’re becoming ... and designing a next chapter that builds on your success. Learn how to pivot with confidence, use a 90‑day roadmap, and find time to grow your new business without burnout. Shannon shares practical strategies for finding time to build your business - even in 15-minute pockets of time - and emphasizes the importance of a 90-day roadmap.

If you are considering a career pivot, a corporate exit, or an encore career, this conversation breaks down how to gain visibility and authority in a new space without losing the credibility you have already earned.
