In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Shane Combs—former ad agency owner and Assistant Director of Academic Programs at the University of South Florida—to explore what it really means to reinvent your career and guide others in finding their path.

Shane shares his journey from leading a regional advertising agency to working closely with first-year college students through USF’s Exploratory Curriculum (ECM) program, helping them navigate uncertainty and make confident decisions about their future.

We dive into leadership, purpose, and the evolving mindset of the next generation entering the workforce—along with the real-world lessons entrepreneurs and business owners need to understand to stay relevant.

If you’re navigating change, leading a team, or thinking about your next move, this conversation will challenge your perspective and give you practical insight into what’s ahead.
