From the Peace Corps to pizza, that was the pivot Conor Cudahy made during the pandemic and followed his passion. Conor is the founder of Lala’s Neopolitan-ish Pizza, first as a mobile, pop-up pizza food truck to his first brick and mortar establishment.

“It was really just a hobby for me at the beginning…it never seemed like…a stable way to make a living. I think the pandemic really just showed everyone that there really is no stability in anything anymore. So why not follow your passion and do something that really makes you excited?’”

You can find Conor, and Lala’s Neopolitan-ish Pizza online at lalasneapolitan-ishpizza.com, at Time Out Market in Boston in the Back Bay neighborhood of The Fenway and on Instagram at @lalas_pizza.

If you fear that you have stayed in a job too long, but you’re not clear on what to move on to, you are not alone. Tammy Gooler Loeb says it is possible to find your way to greater career satisfaction, and she can help you put a plan in place. After years of her own unfulfilling professional career chapters, she found her calling by working from the inside out.

“…I’m not suggesting that people throw all caution to the wind, empty out their bank accounts and…do something crazy. I’m not even saying go after your dreams and your passions, but I’m suggesting that you just listen to that voice inside that says, ‘you know, this is something that really matters to me…and I really ought to at least explore it a little bit more.’”

Tammy is the author of the award-winning book “Work From the Inside Out ” and you can learn more about her, and her book at tammygoolerloeb.com.
