About the show

99% of people are stuck doing something they do not truly care about, chasing a career path that does not maximize their potential. I left my 9-5 job to go all in on this podcast. Now, I have conversations with people who are fearlessly pursuing their passion in the world. On this podcast, we share the stories of people that made bold moves, chose the untraditional path and won. Going all in on yourself and the things you care about can be intimidating. Lets go on this journey together, welcome to The Calum Johnson Show
