What if the career, routine, and comfort zone you thought defined you were actually holding you back?
In this episode of The Ugly Phase (Business Savages), I sit down with Jarrod Evanyshyn, aka The Next Day Nomad, to discuss reinvention, resilience, and creating a freedom-based life. Jarrod walked away from the film industry, faced constant rejection, and realized he needed more control over his future. That led him to pivot into recruitment, remote work, and entrepreneurship, ultimately designing a career that fuels his love for travel and flexibility.
But this episode isn’t just about career changes—it’s about taking control of your life, work, and mindset to create something truly fulfilling.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🎯 Why leaving a “dream career” isn’t failure—it’s often the smartest move.
🎯 How rejection in acting prepared him for success in recruitment & business.
🎯 Are you built for a 9-to-5 or something different? How to know for sure.
🎯 The real future of work: Will traditional jobs even exist in 10 years?
🎯 How to know when it’s time to pivot—and why waiting for the ‘right time’ is a mistake.
🎯 Why getting comfortable with discomfort is the key to personal growth.
Memorable Moments:
✨ “Rejection is the best training you’ll ever get. You either let it break you or build you.”
✨ “There’s no perfect time. The perfect time was yesterday.”
✨ “If the thought of your obituary scares you, that’s your sign to start living differently.”
Action Step for Listeners:
Write your own obituary as if you died today. What would people say about you? Are you living the life you actually want? If not, what needs to change?
This episode is for entrepreneurs, career changers, and anyone feeling stuck or uninspired, wondering if there’s a better way to live and work. If you’ve ever thought about breaking free from the traditional career path, this conversation will give you the mindset shifts and strategies to make it happen.
