7 | Balancing Your Career & Your Passion with Patrick Cleary

In this week's episode, I speak with Patrick about how he has found the right balance for him between career and side passions.  He has found a home in Knowledge Management for over twenty years, but always finds ways to support his love of the arts and theatre by working on shows or his own creative endeavors "on the side".  Patrick learned early on that he lost a lot of the fun and love for the arts if it was also his job.  He talks about the evolution of the KM industry and how that continues to challenge him in his career.  And how he finds a lot of opportunities to participate in the arts on nights and weekends.  For him, it's the perfect balance so he never feels stuck!And don't forget listeners of the podcast get a 20% discount on my new Teachable course about how to make a career change.  You can also sign up for a coaching package through Teachable as well.  Just use the code "Hamster".  https://career_development.teachable.comPlease consider subscribing, leaving a rating and review and sharing this podcast and the whole series with others.  We do this to help spread the word that everyone can get unstuck and find the thing that brings them joy in their careers.  If our guests can do you, you can too!More about Patrick: Patrick Cleary is a Knowledge Maager with DraftKings in Boston, MA.
