Brian Aquart sits down with Todd Quinones, a passionate former TV news anchor who has transitioned to a new chapter in his life. Todd shares his inspiring journey, highlighting the importance of giving a voice to underrepresented individuals and finding fulfillment in propelling others toward success.
Throughout his career, Todd dedicated himself to broadcast journalism and storytelling. He enjoyed being in the spotlight and sharing stories that mattered. However, as time went on, Todd's priorities shifted, and he realized that his true calling was in helping others succeed rather than seeking personal fame.
Working from home presented a silver lining for Todd as well. He had the opportunity to observe conversations between his wife and son, unveiling a whole new world that he had been missing out on. This realization sparked a deep reflection on his current situation and the desire for a more fulfilling and balanced life.
The pandemic served as a wake-up call for Todd, forcing him to pause and reevaluate his priorities. It provided him with a much-needed perspective on life, which was often overshadowed by the fast-paced nature of news reporting. He feared regretting not spending enough time with his loved ones in the future, rather than regretting work-related achievements.
Todd shares advice for those who are contemplating a career change after spending a significant amount of time in one industry. He encourages individuals to shift their mentality and consider opportunities beyond what is familiar and comfortable. Running towards something, rather than running away from something, can lead to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life.
This is also a milestone episode for Why I Left, as it marks the 50th episode of the show.
