February 3, 2020 Mike Smith

Have you ever been in a situation when it felt like the more you tried to control your circumstances, the worse your circumstances became?

Speaking with Carl Goodman, former Director of IT for the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, he feels the same about his career in IT.

Having been raised without much money, Carl sought income and job stability, probably more than anything. But several times throughout his career, just as Carl was getting comfortable, outside circumstances disrupted his stability.

But despite the turmoil it created within his nervous system, looking back, it always seemed to work-out for the better.

And once on the other side of the challenges, Carl wound up with new skills and opportunities that he otherwise, wouldn’t have ever sought, himself.

Listen to Carl’s story.
