We can do the kind of work we want to do and thrive doing it.

Hello. My name is Lou Blaser.

I'm the host and producer of Second Breaks and the founder of the AndThriving Network. My professional career spans over 20 years with a primary focus on change strategy and implementation. Whatever success I've achieved, I credit to having access to mentors and advisors who guided me as I progressed in my career. That's why mentorship is a key part of the work I do today.

I strongly believe that in a world like ours, we all should have the opportunity to grow and thrive in our work... and my personal mission is to see a world where fewer people are stuck and more of us engaged in work that is our highest contribution.
