Most change doesn’t come with a plan — it starts with a feeling that something needs to shift. 

In this episode, I talk about how small steps create clarity and tell my favorite story about Steve Jobs and a calligraphy class that changed the course of his life and led to the founding of Apple.

I also give a sneak peek of what’s next for the podcast itself and how following my own whisper is leading to an exciting new evolution.

In this episode, I share a surprising yet powerful technique to help you make tough decisions with more clarity and confidence: checking in with your future self. Instead of getting stuck in overthinking or weighed down by your brain’s negativity bias, imagining yourself a year from now can shift your perspective and reveal the choice that truly aligns with your values and vision.

We’ll explore why your brain is wired to focus on fear and obstacles, how connecting to your future self helps you break free from that bias, and the simple question that can cut through confusion in the moment.

If you’re standing at a crossroads—whether in your career, creativity, or personal life—this episode will give you a practical tool to move forward with courage, clarity, and trust in your path.

In this energizing conversation, I sit down with Goldie Chan to explore how introverts can harness the power of personal branding without feeling like they have to “perform” as extroverts. We unpack some of the biggest misconceptions about introversion, why self-awareness is the cornerstone of an authentic brand, and how even the smallest stories you share can create meaningful connections.

Goldie shares insights from her upcoming book, Personal Branding for Introverts, and offers practical strategies for building a brand that feels true to who you are. Together, we talk about reframing self-promotion as service, the role of storytelling in shaping how others experience you, and how to embrace your unique narrative to strengthen both your personal and professional life.

If you’ve ever resisted the idea of “personal branding,” this episode will shift your perspective—and give you actionable ways to share your voice with confidence and authenticity.

In this episode, I explore the messy, essential phase of reinvention through the story of James Dyson, who created 5,127 prototypes before finally inventing the vacuum that changed everything. We’ll talk about why the “goo” stage of reinvention is unavoidable, how clarity emerges through action (not just thinking), and the mindset shifts that can help you keep going when progress feels slow.

I’ll share practical strategies for navigating your own prototyping season—like counting actions instead of outcomes, measuring progress backwards, celebrating small wins, and reconnecting to your bigger why.

If you’ve been feeling stuck or doubting whether your efforts matter, this episode will remind you that every small, imperfect action is a step toward what’s next.

In this engaging conversation, I sit down with David Richmond to explore what it really takes to reinvent yourself when life throws unexpected challenges your way. From his journey as an inventor and entrepreneur to navigating the uncertainty of COVID-19, David opens up about the highs, the lows, and the messy middle of reinvention.

We talk about the weight of self-doubt, the courage it takes to redefine your identity, and why the greatest superpower we have is the ability to choose how we show up. David also shares how embracing change, finding joy in the work itself, and taking even the smallest steps forward can create real momentum.

Together, we explore how clarity comes through action, why perfection isn’t the goal—real stories are—and the surprising ways AI can fuel creativity and freedom rather than fear.

If you’ve ever wondered how to navigate uncertainty and turn it into possibility, this episode is packed with stories and insights to inspire your own reinvention journey.

In this special episode, I sit down with my daughter, Mia, to talk about her journey preparing for the MCAT — one of the most challenging exams for future doctors. Together, we explore the fears, frustrations, and breakthroughs she experienced along the way, and what her process taught her about resilience and growth.

Mia shares how she learned to adapt her study strategies, face fear head-on, and keep moving forward when things felt overwhelming. We also discuss why staying stagnant is riskier than trying something new, how to quiet the fear of change, and the mindset shifts that can turn obstacles into stepping stones.

If you’re navigating a big challenge or simply need a reminder of the power of adaptability and persistence, this episode is for you.

What if the limits you see in your life aren’t real—but inherited stories you’ve never paused to question?

In this episode, I share one of my all-time favorite stories (yes, it involves hot dogs!) to explore how our beliefs quietly shape what we think is possible—and how to consciously reframe the ones that hold us back.

You’ll learn why most limiting beliefs aren’t facts, how to spot the ones running your inner script, and a simple but powerful two-column exercise I’ve used with thousands of people to start breaking through them.

We’ll also talk about how your belief shifts don’t just change your life—but ripple out to everyone around you.

If you’ve been holding back, second-guessing yourself, or thinking “this is just how it is”… this episode will help you see what’s possible when you choose a different belief.

What if your greatest impact doesn’t come from doing more—but from being more of who you are?

In this episode, I dive into one of the most powerful concepts I teach: your Zone of Greatness. I’ll show you how to yours — and how acting from that place unlocks both fulfillment and contribution.

I share a real story of a leader who helped her team shift from fear to empowered action after layoffs — by helping them reconnect to their Zone of Greatness and possibility thinking. You'll learn how to do the same, even during times of change and uncertainty.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, burned out, or like you're not using your full potential — this episode is your invitation to reconnect to what lights you up and make the impact you’re here to make.
