Nick J. Murphy has been at the leading edge of the job world as
an entrepreneur and in corporate dot.com, working for Indeed,
Monster and CareerBuilder. For Nick, known by many as ‘The Jobs
Guy’, his consistent approach and theme has been all about
thwarting tradition.
Nick challenges and inspires his clients to think differently, be
ready for what is next and act quickly. His expertise and insights
have been featured by Fox Business, USA Today, The Wall Street
Journal, Yahoo.com, ERE.net, The Arizona Republic and many regional
outlets and he has consulted in the talent space for numerous
Fortune 1000 organizations, including Banner Healthcare, CVS and
West Corporation.
He is the CEO of Mid-America Careers, a Personal Transformation Strategist, Speaker, Former NFL Athlete, and Host of the Transform U Podcast.
In today’s conversation, Nick shares how his NFL career ended at 26 years old, forcing him to learn new skills and explore new career avenues. This led Nick to the recruitment industry and later into entrepreneurship where he launched his own job board. Today he is all about life, career, and business transformation as he helps people overcome their fears and discover freedom and fulfillment in a career they love.
His new book “Unboxed” comes out in January 2019 and will provide readers with the tools and insights on where to start if you hate your job and want a change. Passionate, creative and to the point, Nick will give you the inspiration and impetus to create the life you truly desire.
