  • Ep. 30: Musician, Programmer, Entrepreneur, TED Speaker, and Author, Derek Sivers

    Derek Sivers is a deep thinker, a restless explorer, a prolific creator, and an active lifelong learner.

    He has reinvented himself many times over: musician, circus ringleader/MC, computer programmer, entrepreneur, TED speaker, resident of numerous cities and countries around the world, and author of books that are both philosophical and filled with highly pragmatic advice.

    In this conversation, we cover a lot of ground: how to get luckier, the importance of environment, the worst day of Derek's life, becoming more self-aware through the practice of journaling, and much more.

    Derek is my kind of human: thoughtful, generous, self-reflective, brimming with intelligence and enthusiasm, a pursuer of his own dreams and an encourager of others pursuing theirs, and a living reminder that there are other ways of doing things than those we are simply accustomed to or conditioned for.

  • Ep. 29: Dental Hygienist, Fine Artist, and Conscious Mom, Charlotte Angeles

    Finding one's path in life, particularly with regard to a career that fits, is a daunting task for many.

    Charlotte Angeles had to zig and zag a bit before she found hers, but she eventually did.

    Her story normalizes how tricky this navigation can be, and how the answer is not necessarily as simple as following your passion. Sometimes it takes a bit of exploration, and paying mind to clues along the way, before declaring and stepping into The Person You Want to Be.

  • Ep. 26: Comedy Writer for TV and Film, and Real Estate Investor, Mark Hentemann

    How does someone land their dream job?

    In this episode of The Person You Want to Be, Emmy-nominated writer/producer Mark Hentemann (Late Show with David Letterman, Family Guy) shares that the path to success in his case had a very long runway.

    Luck certainly played its part, but luck can strike in both positive and negative ways (he should know, having literally been struck by lightning as a teenager!).

    In relaying his story, Mark shares how a book he happened upon in his youth helped him develop the mindset of a “tough-minded optimist” and emphasizes the importance of his having spent years and countless hours honing his craft.
