An invaluable resource for anyone who has ever contemplated a career move.
Lou covers the topics that are important to me and my career. Well done Lou!
Authentic and collaborative. It is very refreshing in our often fake, too-good-looking world.
I know these newsletters go out to the public but she always sounds like she's talking directly to me. These emails keep me moving forward.
Somehow, Lou always picks the topics that are top of my concerns. She saves me a lot of time.
A fresh point of view full of ideas you can use right away. I always learn something new.
I love this newsletter and it's one I look forward to it every week!
I appreciate Lou's take on current events and their professional implications.

Hello. My name is Lou Blaser.

I'm the editor/curator of Second Breaks (the newsletter) and the host of the podcast with the same name. I figured out a way to channel my curiousity, love of research, and reading obsession into something that's helpful to other people. Hah!

Some things you should know: I believe that growing and thriving in our work extends beyond "a certain age". I am pro-unretirement. And my personal mission is to help create the kind of world where this isn't only possible, but is easy for folks like us!

I hope you'll join me by signing up to Second Breaks.
