You Don’t Find Your Dream Job — You Design It

In this episode, Bob Moesta — innovation legend, co-creator of the Jobs-To-Be-Done framework, and author of Demand-Side Sales, Learning to Build, and Job Moves — joins Escape 9 to 5 to reframe how we think about career transitions.

We explore the concept of "struggling moments" as hidden signals for change, the myth of finding the “perfect job,” and why retirement isn’t an end but a new prototype for purpose. Bob opens up about his own path, his belief that productivity and meaning increase with age, and how people can hire the right job instead of feeling stuck in the wrong one.

🎧 In this episode, we cover:

• How to spot your “super ability”

• Why people leave jobs they once loved

• What makes people truly ready to change careers

• Bob’s unexpected burst of productivity after “retirement”

• How to apply Jobs-To-Be-Done to your life, not just your product

🔹 Watch this if you’ve ever felt stuck, misaligned, or unsure how to choose your next move.
