Ron Thurston: A Journey Out Of The Corporate World And Into An Airstream Across America

Mind

Apr 25

Ron Thurston is a highly accomplished Retail Leadership Executive (having led such brands as SAINT LAURENT, Apple and Intermix), is a Board Advisor for Goodwill Stores and an Amazon bestselling author with his book, Retail Pride-The Guide to Celebrating Your Accidental Career.

As we invite Ron back to the Pivot with Purpose Podcast (having been our FIRST guest in Season ONE), he is someone that has truly embraced what it means to Pivot with Purpose, stepping out of the corporate retail store environment and now heading out on the road live from an Airstream trailer to discover and tell the real stories of retail heroes all across the country.

Moral of this conversation, you can pivot at ANY TIME, ANY AGE and ANY POINT in your career. If you have a passion, follow it, and own what you love to do.

It is the way to ultimate joy and satisfaction in career and life.

In this conversation we discuss:

Why everyone should start their career in the service industry
How YOU have control as a candidate these days when applying to jobs
Ways you can best navigate your own pivot
Why you should take a dream, a thought, or an idea and bring it to life

AND… as a special surprise, last week in NYC Ron was able to sit down and interview the one, the only…….. Sarah Jessica Parker!!!
