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 two decades 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.
