Taking a Career Break with Sherry Ott of Meet Plan Go! – Part 2

EP-189v2

Today Sherry joins me again for Part 2 of our 2 part interview.

We chat about the founding of Meet, Plan, Go and the resources available there (and how to meet other people trying to do the same thing!)

In addition, we have a length discussion about the importance of having a home base, and how not even we are immune to some of the crazy brainwaves that inhibit us from making the big decisions!

To cap it all off we bring it back to the Gin with a travel mishap story that throws us back to the dangers of a correctly made gin & tonic!

This is part two of a two part interview. Click here to listen to Part 1!

Taking a Career Break with Sherry Ott of Meet Plan Go! – Part 1

EP-188v2

9 years ago Sherry Ott did something terrifying.

She quit her job to travel the world for a year.

Her career break turned into a life based around travel and expertise in how to take career breaks successfully in the United States.

Lots of advice out there on career breaks come from Australia, or the UK, where things like this are very common. But here in the USA, it’s not such an easy task.

Unless of course, Sherry’s helping you out!

Today we discuss how Sherry got the bug for travel, how her planned one year turned into 9, and about the correct way to make a gin & tonic. Apparently it’s a very specific process!

This is part 1 of a two-part interview. Check back on Thursday for the rest of our interview where we go more in-depth on the strategies of taking a career break and a great travel mishap!
