#27 Alessio Pieroni | I left Apple for a job with lower salary but more personal growth opportunities

Haaappy new year! I hope you had a colorful start into 2020 and am
happy to welcome you to the first episode of this year where I got
the chance to speak with Alessio Pieroni. Alessio is an Italian
living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with colorful track record. He
made it into diverse executive roles early in his professional
career, spent some time at Apple as a talent specialist and is the
Head of Marketing at Mindvalley since more that 3 years. In focus
in all he does now? People! And Alessio is talking about how he
always thought a career is about focusing on results and how he
only learned later in life, that it should rather be about people.
He shares how leaving Apple was the most difficult decision in his
life, what drove him towards this step and what an amazing role his
manager played in this situation. We discuss what failure and
self-doubt mean to him and how he redefines relationships with the
category of people he calls "Vampires". Why he says there is no
growth in your comfort zone, where his intuition and the change of
perspective are helpful to him and where fear stopped him from
trying something he aimed for you will hear in this insightful and
fun episode! Further information & links you'll find in the
shownotes! ****** Did you enjoy this episode? Yay! Sign up for it
