About this listen
Ever felt like you're stuck in a rut with your job? Or maybe you know someone who jumped into college because of family pressure, gathering loans for a degree they're not even sure they're into. It's even tougher when they feel like they're backed into a corner, unable to explore new career paths.
That's where Unconformed comes in. It's a toolkit for preventing and overcoming that "stuck" feeling and exploring the many paths to success, no matter your age or life stage. With many stories about successful people from diverse backgrounds, this book offers a fresh look at learning and working.
Unconformed questions the whole "you need a college degree to succeed" mantra. It highlights the awesome value in tradespeople and artisans—real people who shape our world. This book focuses on the importance of lifelong learning and resilience rather than a diploma from a lofty institution. The best part? It will show you how to take advantage of real-world opportunities and get unstuck at any stage of life. Unconformed is your guide to becoming "unstuckable."

Story
HVAC contractors have a problem. They need their employees to think the way they do. Unfortunately, employees—and some owners—have a poverty mindset, and running a business for profit with that mentality is very difficult. A poverty mindset is a desire for something better, obstructed by limiting beliefs. If you want something better for you and your company, but feel like you keep hitting a wall, the HVAC Millionaire Mindset will help guide you and your team through the process of discovering what's truly holding your heating and cooling company back.

"I couldn't put it down. It's the book that's in the heads of all of us on This Old House. We have been talking (not writing) about convincing people to join the trades and the fact that conventional education doesn't always serve to make successful adults...Unconformed is fabulous; and necessary; and funny, and readable; and needed...Bravo!"
