CC 13 | Mark Myers: Finding Clarity and Purpose while Navigating the Void

As Yogi Berra once said, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” In this weeks’ episode of Consuming Careers, we’re spending time with Mark Myers, who, after 20yrs in the electronics industry, found himself facing a life-altering tragedy: the loss of his youngest daughter to childhood cancer. In the aftermath, Mark found a new sense of purpose for his work and his relationships, and a redeeming clarity to focus on the things that really matter in his life, but not without the struggle of a day-by-day walk through the tension between hope and loss.
