My guest today is someone who's got the massive courage it takes to make big changes in life. John Prestigiacomo is a realtor working with Keller Williams, serving the north Atlanta metro area. John was born and grew up in New York City, and he graduated from Queens College with a degree in accounting. After twenty-five years of a successful career in a range of accounting-related roles, he made a big career shift last year to become a realtor as a way of doing things he's most passionate about. In today's episode, we talk about what inspires this transition and what John learned through this experience.

This big change was the result of lots of planning, self-reflection, introspection. We talk about what prompted this big shift and some of the strategies John followed to make his new career successful.
