Building your way forward - Chris Strano

Don't Retire, Refire Podcast

In this episode we interview an inspiring young man. Chris is now 36years of age, married with two kids and a mortgage. Since May 2018 he has been following what he initially thought was going to be his dream career - as a data engineer with a V8 Supercar team. This career transition from his paraplanning business initially felt like the right move. However, as he experiences the reality of that new life, he realised that it was not all roses. There was an extreme demand on his time and long periods of time away from his family which he missed. This is something that he could not have predicated up front, it had to be experienced. He now realises that he can create most of what he wants be returning to his old career with a fresh perspective. Now, rather than achieving to be happy, he is seeing if he can happily achieve regardless of what he is doing. Chris is a great example of building his way forward - taking action - rather than trying to think it all out up front - which often can't be done!
