Career Sessions

How do you build a successful career, become a better leader, navigate career changes, and find fulfillment in your work?
On Career Sessions, host J.R. Lowry explores these questions through candid conversations with accomplished leaders, entrepreneurs, authors, academics, and professionals who have navigated the ups and downs of working life. They share not just their successes, but the difficult decisions, career setbacks, unexpected opportunities, and hard-won lessons that helped shape their journeys.
Every episode delivers real-world stories and practical career advice to help you tackle the challenges that matter most: advancing your career, changing jobs, developing leadership skills, managing workplace relationships, overcoming setbacks, and adapting to a rapidly changing world of work.
What makes Career Sessions different? We go beyond conventional career advice and polished success stories to uncover what actually works, what doesn't, and what people wish they'd known earlier. The goal is to both inspire you and give you ideas and strategies you can put to work in your own career.
Your host, J.R. Lowry, brings a unique perspective shaped by a career spanning the U.S. Air Force, McKinsey, senior executive roles in financial services, and entrepreneurship. Drawing on decades of leadership experience and hundreds of conversations with fascinating people, J.R. connects the lessons of others to the career decisions and challenges we all face.
