He brings his 25+ years of experience as a Work & Life Strategist, sprinkled with his collection of stories from the Cool Change podcast, to provide insight on what really makes a meaningful life. While we tell the story of our lives by the monumental events that happen, it's actually the collection of day-to-day moments that define us. Chuck shares how we can make seemingly small changes to achieve more impact towards creating a whole life worth emulating.

The Pivot is the place between two roles.  That place when you're ready to point yourself in a new direction, whether by choice or necessity.  Like many of you, I find myself in the pivot.  This episode is my reflection on this exciting and daunting experience of choosing something new.  

You'll hear about the tools that are helping me navigate right now, the wisdom from previous guests that keeps propelling me forward, and hopefully the bit of encouragement you (and I) need to keep pushing through the pivot.
