Rob Barnett - Turning Pain into Purpose

In today’s episode, we chat with the wonderful Rob Barnett. Rob is a head-hunter, management executive, podcaster, author and serial entrepreneur. Rob has discovered, hired, and led hundreds of talented creators and executives in senior management roles held at MTV, VH1, and Audible/Amazon. He was also the President of Programming at CBS Radio and a digital pioneer, founding My Damn Channel, one of the first original online studios and networks. During this episode, we chat about Rob's journey to finding his North Star in an episode built around his amazing debut book, Next Job, Best Job. We also reflect on his glittering career working with the likes of Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Keith Richards and lessons learnt whilst working with the current president of the United States, Joe Biden and  why everyone needs a Danny Goldberg. If you’re struggling to find work in an uncertain job market, Next Job, Best Job delivers game changing strategies to get you hired now. If you’re looking for a podcast to inspire you with humour, compassion, and a healthy dose of authenticity then look no further you’re going to love this. Finally, if you’re tuning into this podcast in a state of pain and loss, our greatest wish is that you end the episode with renewed passion and purpose. Remember, find your North Star, find your tribe and may your passion and purpose lead you to an amazing future. We can all be heroes and it doesn't have to be just for one day.   🔗 CONNECT WITH ROB: 💻 Website - https://robbarnettmedia.com👥 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robbarnettmedia/ 🗣️ Saturday Night Zoom: https://saturdaynightzoom.com  🗣️My Dam Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/mydamnchannel 📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED: 💡 Next Job, Best Job: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Next+Job%2C+Best+Job%3A+A+Headhunter%27s+11+Strategies+to+Get+Hired+Now&i=stripbooks&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=ur2&linkId=0018b8e9771a31fd8c22fddbb3a1cb22&tag=20201982-21 💡Promise Me, Dad: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=joe+biden+promise+me+dad&i=stripbooks&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=ur2&linkId=f9ca52b0400788086c4670bceb583d79&tag=20201982-21💡Finding Your Tribe: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Tribe%3A+On+Homecoming+and+Belonging&i=stripbooks&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=ur2&linkId=cc50d3010f1cc46fedbaaa5240076733&tag=20201982-21Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!
