Join me on this men@pause podcast as I'm interviewed by Jim Blasingame of The Small Business Advocate.

We will discuss the emergence of male executives leaving Corporate America to find the work that matters while living a significant personal life.

Specifically, we will discuss how my men@pause coaching practice takes select executives from off-boarding to on-boarding as entrepreneurs with a sales and marketing roadmap to grow their business and have a life outside of work.

Jim and The Small Business Advocate are regarded as one of the top small business idea incubators today.

Steve Forbes on Jim Blasingame:

If I were limited as to what I could do to support entrepreneurs, I would give them a way to kindle their vision, strengthen their tenacity, encourage their creativity, and motivate them to be courageous. I would tell them to find Jim Blasingame — that's what he does.

Jim has a unique way of taking his listeners and readers to the heart and spirit of entrepreneurialism. He lifts up entrepreneurs and speaks to them on a level that can only be achieved by one who knows the world of small business.
