Listen "Opportunistic and flexible : from Boy Scout to talent scout, selling calendars to software, the story of an usual career path far from finished."
Episode Synopsis
Listen to the intriguing narrative of a young professional who might have ended up working in energy or big pharma except that he was a bit 'math phobic,' and who preferred launching a startup to finishing a degree in business. Hear how Raphael reinforced his natural talents at sales (and cycling) from childhood, discovered a passion for new technology almost before the term existed, and parlayed this combination into a successful career in recruiting IT professionals and software sales at a B2B level internationally. His ideal future career aspiration? Well, it's a navigator's dream of alternating arrival and departure, sharing with others and caring for the planet. Along the way, you might also get inspired to try serious sports as a motivational driver for your professional success.---------------------------------------------------------CreditsIntro:Karin HagemannCo-hosts: Stephen Fischer, LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/saffischerJamshid Asadzadeh, LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jamshid-asadzadeh Guest:Raphael PeterMusicTheme music: Inside You - Leva (https://open.spotify.com/artist/4XWZhZ32YrVV5lvpF7cr1E?si=tnbSklR7SJyPNKiHP4MbHA)Interlude music: Futuristic Beat - RoyaltyFreeMusic (https://goo.su/janevo)Outro music: "Cloud Dancer " Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
