In an age of retrenchment tsunamis and career uncertainty, many midlife professionals are asking: what's next? For our guest, the answer isn't just finding another job, it's about embracing an entrepreneurial mindset to build your 'Act 2.'

Dash Dhakshinamoorthy, Co-founder of Act 2, joins us to discuss his mission to help both individuals repurpose their careers and organizations find their next growth engine. He explains his philosophy of "effectual entrepreneurship", a research-backed method for leveraging uncertainty with affordable losses to turn transitions into opportunities.

We discuss:

• How to reframe entrepreneurship as leveraging uncertainty, not taking huge risks.

• The "Act 2" philosophy for repurposing your midlife career for fulfillment.

• Why founder development is more important than venture success.

• How large corporations can build an entrepreneurial mindset to find new growth.

• An introduction to the "effectual entrepreneurship" methodology.

  For mid-career professionals navigating a pivot, and for leaders trying to foster innovation, this is a guide to building an entrepreneurial mindset for what comes next.
