Description

In this episode of Living Without an Expiration Date, Rich Jones explores a quiet but common moment in many mid-career professionals’ lives: the realization that the role, influence, or opportunity you once expected may no longer be part of the path ahead.

Rather than reacting out of frustration or fear, Rich walks through the three crossroads many professionals face in these moments—stay for security, leave for opportunity, or pivot for lifestyle. Through reflection and practical insight, he introduces a simple framework—the 3R Career Test: Risk, Reward, and Regret—to help listeners think more clearly about their next move.

If you’ve ever looked at an org chart, a missed promotion, or a company shift and wondered what it means for your future, this episode offers perspective, reassurance, and thoughtful questions to help you navigate the next chapter with intention.

Because your title may change—but your value does not come with an expiration date.
