Cavalry greetings, A:R Nation! What's the good word?! At the time of publishing this episode, I'm coming off of my birthday. I experienced so much love for my birthday, and it made me realized how blessed and grateful I am for the life I have! Making it even more serendipitous was when our guest offered to come onto the show. His name is Michael DeSimone. He holds the esteemed title of Vice President of the Office of Corporate Counsel for Prudential Financial. He's also someone that I met back in my undergrad days, and it was so amazing to catch up with him on the show. Mike shares with us his path from working with a corporate firm to moving in-house, and all the factors that guided his decision. He shares how that life change almost didn't happen if it wasn't for this one little experience (that ALL OF US can learn from). Mike dives into the challenges that many people are facing - navigating the new kind of family life and parenting in a work-from-home and virus-dominated world. Finally, Mike shares with us what his guiding principle is, and what's helped him achieve so much success, happiness and fulfillment in his life, both in his career and in his family life. Grab your cup of coffee or tea, and catch-up with Mike and I. No amount of spreadsheets can account for everything. This is the Adulthood: Revisited Podcast.
