For some, however, being laid off can turn out to be one of the best things to ever happen to them.\n\nIn this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, Jon Speer talks to Aaron Moncur, owner of Pipeline Design & Engineering and host of the Being an Engineer podcast, as they both reflect on the twists and turns of their professional journeys to help others realize their full potential and seize new career opportunities.\n\nSome of the highlights of the show include:\n\n\u2022 Falling out of love with your role or no longer working in a previously held role? Do things differently and focus on ownership of the entire process, not just pieces.\n\u2022 Situational or necessity? Aaron\u2019s sense of entrepreneurship and making his own money has existed since childhood. Being laid off pushed him into taking action.\n\u2022 Losing your job or starting a business: which is more terrifying? Being laid off made Aaron feel physically ill, compared to the thrill of being a freelancer.\n\u2022 Owners and employees have different perspectives and motivation regarding everyday work. The demand is for people who do specific work or do it all.\n\u2022 How well does your measurement system work? If measurement systems analysis (MSA) creates inconsistent data, it leads to less confidence in products.\n\u2022 Entrepreneurs\u2019 Organization (EO) offers guidance on how to build a business, seek clarity, obtain feedback, find mentors/coaches, and narrow your niche.\n\u2022 Culture of Closing and Collaboration: Medical device industry is schedule driven and technically challenged to deliver on time to solve a problem.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/1f8b1c61-ab68-4587-aae7-6181cbf79bdd/9dd8d44c-6d85-4d2e-b6b1-f62404ddc587.jpg"}
