#234 From Hitchhiker to Head-Hunter: Gary Bremermann’s Wild Career Ride — Part Two

So you’re stuck in a job that doesn’t excite you. Or maybe you’re climbing the corporate ladder but have no idea if it’s leaning against the right wall. Gary Bremermann has seen it all—from ambitious professionals chasing paychecks without purpose to companies struggling to hire the right talent. In Part 2, he lays out his 7 Rules of Career Clarity—a process he developed to help people find meaningful work, instead of just another job. Key Highlights of Our Interview: Step 1: Your Story Matters – “Your past holds clues to your future. Look back to move forward.” Why reflecting on your experiences can reveal what you truly want. Step 4: Dream Jobs (Yes, Plural) – “One dream job should be unlimited, the other should be realistic. Somewhere in between is your future.” How to define career goals without setting yourself up for disappointment. Step 7: Action is Everything – “All the career clarity in the world is useless if you don’t act on it.” Why small, consistent steps matter more than waiting for the perfect opportunity. The Harsh Reality of Japan’s Talent Market – “People are forced to retire at 60, then offered the same job at 40% pay. Meanwhile, companies struggle to find talent. It makes no sense.” Why Japan’s hiring practices are outdated—and how ageism is holding back experienced professionals. Risk Aversion vs. Career Growth – “The fear of change is stronger here than in most markets. But staying in your comfort zone can cost you more than taking a risk.” Why job seekers and companies alike need to rethink stability. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your career—or frustrated by job markets that refuse to evolve—this episode is a must-listen. Get ready for a reality check on work, growth, and what’s next. _____________________ Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Gary Bremermann ______________________ --Chief Change Officer-- Change Ambitiously.
