- 32: The difference between a skill, strength, talent, and gift & how to discover yours
Today’s podcast topic is alllll about getting our thoughts (and terms) straight on some CRUCIAL aspects of your personal attributes. We are going to be talking about the EXACT difference between skills, strengths, talents, and gifts.
Why?
Because the sooner we move away from ambiguous, interchangeable terms to describe ourselves, the sooner we get clearer on exactly who we are and what we have to offer - and that kind of personal clarity can lead to anything from landing job offers (due to being an excellent communicator of your strengths) to understanding what job you're best suited for in the first place.
So in this episode, I'll not only share exactly WHAT each of the terms mean, but HOW you can uncover what your personal attributes are in each of these categories, so you can utilize the heck out of what you're good at in your career.

36 min - 31: Alden Warr - Called to ditch the corporate climb for the big risks, wins, & unconventional life of the startup world
In this episode, you have the pleasure of hearing from my dear friend, Alden Warr. He's an accounting major turned startup junkie who is now serving as the VP of Finance and Strategic Partnerships at VoCo, a company configuring voice control technology for seniors and senior living communities.
In this episode, we talked about:
- What it’s like to get caught up in the conveyor belt to traditional success (going to business school, becoming an accountant, climbing the corporate ladder) and what it’s like to make the decision to jump off that path to follow the unique calling God has for you according to your personality, talents, passions, and the like...
- Alden also shares what it’s like to work in the startup world and practical advice and tools you can use to get into the startup realm, whether you’re interested in joining a startup or founding your own.

I know a lot of people (including myself) have so many passions and interests that it can be super overwhelming to try to just pick one and get a job that relates to it.
So in this episode I’ll share the 3-step framework to get to the core theme behind all your passions so you can choose a job that satisfies what is most important to you.

38 min - 26: Carly Hicks - you're not limited by your major, you're limited by your mindset / How to leverage your background (college major/first jobs) to get a job in a new industry
Have you ever thought, "I mean, I'd love to get a job in the entertainment industry, but I majored in business - I don't have the qualifications or the connections to pull that off."
I hear assumptions and defeating statements like that ALL TOO OFTEN, so I figured it was time to bring on the poster-child for defying conventions and busting into a new industry: my friend, Carly Hicks.
Carly decided to LEVERAGE her business major instead of feeling limited by it once she realized she wasn't interested in the traditional business jobs and wanted to pursue a career in film instead. Now she's all the better for it as her boldness and perseverance landed her in her current position as a Page for NBCUniversal in New York City.
Here are the highlights of what you have to look forward to in this episode:
- How much does your major really matter?
- A reality check on the fact that (if played right) all your college and work experience should expand your opportunities to do what you really want to do, not limit them
- How to communicate yourself as a competitive candidate through your resume and networking strategy to get a job in a new industry that you might not have experience or even connections in
- How to know if you passion should be a hobby or something you do as a job
How we should be faithful with the desires God put on our heart, and how to tell if your desires are just fleeting feelings or a true passionI can’t wait to hear what y’all think about this episode!

Ready for the shock of a lifetime? Quitting your first few jobs before *even your first year* doesn't necessarily wreck your chances at getting a job with your dream company - IN FACT, you might even be able to work it to your advantage.

- How to make a better choice with every job change you make, so you can get yourself closer to finding a job you're genuinely passionate about

- 23: Andrew Winker - Called to Corporate / How Find Genuine Purpose and Joy in All Work
Somehow fancy corporate jobs and working in cubicles have become the international emblem of what it looks like to NOT following your calling.
Ladies and gents...that's a false notion, and my friend, Andrew Winker, can prove it.
Andrew is a follower of Christ who has faithfully followed God's call to work as a management consultant for one of the top 3 consulting firms in the world.
If you (like me) have asked: "Why would you want to spend your days making a big company richer? Don't you feel like a cog in a machine?" then this episode is a MUST LISTEN. The wisdom Andrew shares will help you expand your perspective far beyond these oversimplifications so you can see the purpose in all work, particularly if you're in the business world working for a large company.
