Hey, ,

This week’s Unstuck Career episode brings us the story of Brandon Johnson, who went from a decade as a top glass shop employee in Illinois to launching his own thriving business, Radiant Glass and Repair. Brandon’s path is all about courage, self-advocacy, and doing the work with heart.

Key Takeaways from Brandon’s Journey:

• Know Your Worth: After years of loyal service and broken workplace promises, Brandon realized nobody would prioritize his well-being like he could.
• Act Despite Fear: What started as a scary idea eventually became necessary for his happiness—and he took the leap with support from his partner.
• Start Smart, Not Flashy: Brandon drives a paid-off ‘96 Grand Cherokee for work, focusing on service and reputation over appearances.
• Customer Service Wins: Clear, honest communication and genuinely caring about clients have made his solo venture a runaway success.

Brandon’s advice? If you trust your skills, take the risk. Mistakes and missed bills happen, but so does growth and fulfillment.

Listen to Brandon’s full story for actionable advice and a dose of inspiration.

Thanks for listening—here’s to getting (and staying) unstuck!
