Unconformed

An Unbound and Unbridled Path to Unstuck Growth

By: Bryan Orr

Narrated by: Bryan Orr

Ever felt like you're stuck in a rut with your job? Or maybe you know someone who jumped into college because of family pressure, gathering loans for a degree they're not even sure they're into. It's even tougher when they feel like they're backed into a corner, unable to explore new career paths.

That's where Unconformed comes in. It's a toolkit for preventing and overcoming that "stuck" feeling and exploring the many paths to success, no matter your age or life stage. With many stories about successful people from diverse backgrounds, this book offers a fresh look at learning and working.

Unconformed questions the whole "you need a college degree to succeed" mantra. It highlights the awesome value in tradespeople and artisans—real people who shape our world. This book focuses on the importance of lifelong learning and resilience rather than a diploma from a lofty institution. The best part? It will show you how to take advantage of real-world opportunities and get unstuck at any stage of life. Unconformed is your guide to becoming "unstuckable."

Critic reviews

"I couldn't put it down. It's the book that's in the heads of all of us on This Old House. We have been talking (not writing) about convincing people to join the trades and the fact that conventional education doesn't always serve to make successful adults...Unconformed is fabulous; and necessary; and funny, and readable; and needed...Bravo!" (Richard Trethewey, This Old House)

Great advice to aspire to! Great listen.

I have been following Bryan’s work for a few years now. He is truly an inspiration. You can tell Bryan practices what he preaches and is a great guy. I look forward to more great content in the years to come. Keep up the good work and best of luck in you future endeavors. Thanks for your commitment and all you do for the HVACR community. God bless!

Fresh take on the trades.

Great book for young people seeking their path in life and for parents to help their kids find their best future.
