What if the job you’re in isn’t bad — but it’s not you?In today’s episode of Good Shift, I’m sitting down with someone who made a shift that so many of us secretly think about but struggle to act on. Chris Harrison spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder in banking. The money was good. The job was fine. But it never stopped gnawing at him — the childhood dream of becoming a police officer.So, how do you leave a secure, respected career to chase a calling that’s risky, unfamiliar, paid a lot less and starts at the bottom? That’s what we unpack in this raw, honest, and deeply motivating conversation.🎧 In this episode, we dive into:The quiet discomfort of a career that looks good on paper but feels wrong in your gut.How Chris knew it was time to stop waiting and finally take the leap.The fears around pay cuts, identity loss, and starting over — and how he worked through them.The unexpected emotional and practical challenges of joining the police force.The mindset shifts that helped Chris rebuild his life around purpose instead of just a paycheck.Whether you’re in a job that’s “fine” or stuck at the crossroads of a potential career pivot, this episode will make you reflect, reevaluate, and hopefully take action toward a more aligned life.Podcast ref: “Keep The Change”  Luke Kemeys
