A small yes can lead to a big YES!

Change is hard. Not because the thing you're changing is hard—but because of everything else that has to shift around it. In this episode, I talk about the real barrier to transformation: implementation. Whether you're starting a new workout or launching a product into the enterprise, the same question always comes up: Will it work for me?

We’ll explore the idea of Minimum Viable Deployment—a strategy for starting small, showing value, and building trust before going all in. Also featuring: a 3-legged stool, a crowded NYC apartment, and a moment of comedy and music to reset your day.

The Future of Work Needs a Liberal Arts Degree

This week, I talk about why a liberal arts education—yes, even a BFA in musical theatre—might be the best preparation for the future of work. As AI handles more of the simple and even some complicated tasks, it’s the complex, human challenges that remain. Problem solving, creativity, communication, improvisation—these are the skills that matter. I share a framework I’ve used to explain the impact of AI on work, reflect on what my daughters taught me about career resilience, and why employers need to start hiring for the skills machines can’t replicate.
