Fired? Don't Quit - Start a New Chapter

from The Lean to the Left Podcast

Fired? Don't Quit -- Start a New ChapterIn between jobs? Are you a federal employee fired by Trump/Musk or someone who's lost their job outside of government because of Trump's latest actions? Don't quit, take this opportunity to start a new chapter in your life.That's the advice of John David Graham, who's started over many times and now has written a highly successful book drawn from his experiences.At about 8 minutes into this interview, Graham addresses the tragic mass firings by Trump/Musk of federal employees, and says many could learn from his example."So I would say grab a beer, grab a friend and cry on one other shoulder, then get up off your ass and put your application in somewhere. Do something, but don't quit," he says. "Call me. I know what it's like."Graham, the author of "Running as Fast As I Can," now available on Amazon, several years ago created the non-profit Good Samaritan Home, which operates numerous refurbished homes in Ohio that house convicts once they are released from prison. His book is available here: https://amzn.to/3XgnxjC."Our program ...the idea is that if you can put somebody in the community and help them with housing, help them with getting a job, then they become tax payers instead of tax burdens," he explains.To learn more about Graham and his work, please take a listen.
