In this episode, I chat with Mike Novosel, who shares his deep-rooted drive for constant growth and self-challenge—traits that were shaped by the powerful examples set by his grandfather and mother. Mike talks about his fear of losing momentum and how pushing himself to grow keeps him energized and fulfilled.
We dive into his experience turning around a failing business line at Cardlytics, where curiosity, vulnerability, and building strong relationships were key. Mike’s excitement for growth is contagious, and he’s passionate about instilling this same drive in his team.
Mike also offers valuable insights for high performers on how to reflect on what truly energizes and excites you, beyond just professional achievements. He shares practical advice on balancing personal values with career goals, maintaining work-life balance, and prioritizing quality over quantity. Plus, he provides tips on regaining confidence after setbacks.
If you’re focused on growth and want to stay energized while navigating challenges in your career, you'll love this conversation.
