Hi. I'm Zakkee. I left the comfort of my engineering career to pursue what I believe is much more important than the paycheck I was getting: happiness. I won't pretend I have it figured out, but 2 years later, I know I've learned this much: it's about the journey, not the destination. In this podcast, I'm putting comfort zones aside to share lessons learned in personal and professional growth that will benefit anyone considering a new career path. Thank you for joining me in Navigating Caree ...
