When I first met today’s guest several years ago, it was actually the second time I’d met him. Apparently, I said something like, “Nice to meet you.” To which he replied, “We’ve actually met before. I obviously made a strong impression,” or something to that effect. I liked his sense of humor right away.

His name, which I’ll never forget now, is Bryan Orr. And, his new book is called Unconformed: The Unbound and Unbridled Path to Unstuck Growth.

Let me ask you a question: Have you ever felt like you’re stuck in a rut with your job? Or maybe you know someone who jumped into college because of family pressure, gathering loans for a degree they’re not even sure they’re into. It’s even tougher when they feel like they’re backed into a corner, unable to explore new career paths.

That’s where Bryan’s book, Unconformed, comes in. It’s a toolkit for preventing and overcoming that “stuck” feeling and exploring the many paths to success, no matter your age or life stage. With many stories about successful people from diverse backgrounds, this book offers a fresh look at learning and working.

Unconformed questions the whole “you need a college degree to succeed” mantra. It highlights the awesome value in tradespeople and artisans – real people who shape our world. This book focuses on the importance of lifelong learning and resilience rather than a diploma from a lofty institution. The best part? It will show you how to take advantage of real-world opportunities and get unstuck at any stage of life. Unconformed is your guide to becoming “unstuckable.”
