About the show

Career paths rarely unfold in a straight line. Some careers accelerate quickly, while others take unexpected turns, requiring us to adapt, reinvent ourselves, and seize new opportunities along the way.   On Career Sessions, host J.R. Lowry sits down with accomplished leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, coaches, veterans, and professionals from all walks of life to explore the stories behind their careers.

Each episode goes beyond résumés and job titles to uncover how people build meaningful careers and thrive through change.   J.R. Lowry has built a career across military service, management consulting, financial services, executive leadership, and entrepreneurship. Drawing on his own experiences and conversations with hundreds of guests, he helps listeners better understand the realities of career growth and the choices that can make the biggest difference over time.
