What does it take to step out of the safe and familiar into a life that truly lights you up? Are passion and purpose reliable guides to the work you love?
I sit down with Agi Keramidas, a former dentist turned podcaster, author, and coach, who helps people create lives aligned with their purpose and passion. Agi’s story is one of courage, self-discovery, and reinvention — a journey from professional burnout to clarity about what matters most.
We discuss the mindset shifts needed for a career change or career pivot, how to reconnect with your inner compass, and why public speaking can be a powerful tool for introverts to share their message. Agi also opens up about the pivotal moments that shaped his path and the practices that help him stay grounded through transitions.
In this episode, we explore:
- The inner work required to navigate transitions with confidence
- How to find clarity in moments of uncertainty
- Building a career around your purpose and passion
- Lessons from leaving a secure profession for a calling you can’t ignore
- Why public speaking can be transformative for introverts
- Strategies to overcome self-doubt during a career pivot
- How to stay resilient when the outcome isn’t yet clear
If you’re at a crossroads in your career or life, this episode will give you both the inspiration and practical insights to take that next courageous step.
