"Dynamax Your Career With An Eternabeam Mindset" ft. Jason Hopper | TRAINER'S EYE #184
About this episode
Ever felt lost in your job search and wished your love for Pokémon actually meant something in the real world?
Career Coach Jason Hopper (BadHopper) from Jewish Family Services of Great Dallas shares his Pokémon story, from learning the TCG for a relationship to rediscovering it years later through his son, wandering neighborhoods with Pokémon GO and accidentally building a walking habit, a community, and a new sense of purpose. Jason breaks down how the Pokémon GO community can quietly become a powerful networking tool, why most people are job searching the wrong way, and how small rituals like music, walking, and shared fandom can rebuild your confidence when rejection starts to wear you down.
Whether you’re between jobs, burned out, or just curious how nostalgia and career coaching can collide, this conversation offers practical tools and emotional encouragement to reset your job search mindset.
Listen now and imagine what your next opportunity could look like, one story, one step, and one Pokémon at a time.
