This week I’m sharing the 40th interview on the Unleashing Your Great Work Podcast! One of my favorite parts of doing these interviews is how much I’ve learned about Great Work by hearing how other people are living theirs.

Because Andrew and I share a love for the Muppets and a quirky, childlike sense of humor, his characterization of his Great Work really struck a chord with me! Andrew Davis is on a QUEST; he’s battling demons in the swamp, running away from a massive ball next to Indiana Jones, riding the Monsters Inc conveyor belt, and discovering new truths.  

Join us as we discuss:

·   How living your life like a quest keeps you from comparing and despairing

·   Why being stubborn is a superpower well worth cultivating

·   What to do when you get your dream job, and it’s disappointing

·   Why Jim Henson is a hard act to follow, but a great creative inspiration

Charlie Gilbert is a writer, composer, educator, and theater maker specializing in musical theater. Given my lifelong fascination with musical theater, this made him an obvious choice as a guest for this podcast! And while this episode is chock full of little musical theater tidbits, it’s also a beautiful look at what a lifelong dedication to Great Work looks like. Charlie started doing musical theater as a young man, in college, with his friends. 

1979 he wrote Assassins, a musical whose idea was compelling enough to attract the attention of Stephen Sondheim; the musical that Sondheim eventually wrote based on Charlie's idea went on to win the Tony.

After teaching and freelancing as a musical theater professional for a number of years, he had the opportunity to start an undergraduate musical program at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. His experiences as an educator and artist led to the development of a signature pedagogy for musical theater performers that he calls the SAVI System. And, for the last ten years, he’s been a composer in residence at the Enchantment Theater company. Listening to Charlie talk about the fire he still has in his belly for even more success in musical theater was inspiring, to say the least. 

Join us as we discuss:

·   How to sustain your interest and passion for something highly competitive and full of disappointments

·   What it was like to be peers with Stephen Sondheim, Jonathan Larson, and other broadway legends

·   How to juggle multiple interests and areas of expertise in a field usually populated with narrowly focused artists

About The Guest:

Charlie is a writer, composer, educator and theater maker who specializes in musical theater. He has been creating original work for the musical stage for nearly fifty years, and is perhaps best known for Assassins, his 1979 musical which was the source of the idea for the Tony Award-winning musical of the same name by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman.

His other works for the musical stage include Gemini the Musical, an adaptation of Albert Innaurato’s hit comedy Gemini for which Charlie wrote music and lyrics. For the past ten years, Charlie has been composer-in-residence for Enchantment Theatre Company and has created original music and lyrics for works that have toured the US, including Harold and the Purple Crayon, which will be seen in theaters this spring.

He started the undergraduate musical theater program at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia in 1991 and served as a faculty member and administrator there for over thirty years. His experiences as an educator and artist led to the development of a signature pedagogy for musical theater performers he calls the SAVI System; his book The SAVI Singing Actor was published in 2019, along with an innovative teaching tool called SAVI Cards, and both are used by voice and theater teachers in the US and abroad.

Charlie was a founding member of the Musical Theater Educators Alliance, an organization created over 20 years ago to facilitate the collegial sharing of information and best practices among musical theater training programs worldwide, and served as an officer of that organization for many years.

Have you ever heard an idea that you thought you understood, but the more you heard, the more profound it became? Paula White’s idea about “Side B” leadership is one such idea! When you first hear it, it sounds like a standard truism that it “takes all kinds” or is essential to “leverage your strengths,” which are two powerful ideas, but they are hardly new. But as she unpacks the idea further—helping us to see that every typical leadership skill has an untapped genius at its side that will unlock your leadership capacity further than you thought possible and that these leadership skills are like the members of a band who work better together than apart-- I realized her ideas go way beyond a simple analogy.

Join us as we discuss:

-     How the metaphor of “getting the band together” translates into successful corporate teams

-    Why corporate teams need a diversity of “musicians” to work effectively

-    How to leverage our “hidden hits” and find our most effective leadership style

In December 2019, Amy Bermudez was feeling unsatisfied with her job. She worked in an industry she didn’t love, for people who stressed her out, doing work that was… fine. She wanted more, but she wasn’t sure what that “more” was. In a chance encounter with a relative, Amy learned about voiceover. 

She signed up for a course, enjoyed what she learned and began to wonder: is voiceover right for me? Then, in March 2020, the world shut down for the COVID-19 pandemic, and in response, Amy’s company shut its doors completely.

Newly unemployed in a world that had changed overnight, Amy’s mind wandered to voiceover. 

Could this be her chance to try something new? Amy decided to give it a real shot. Over the course of the past few years, Amy has launched her fledgling voiceover business from scratch, and it has changed her life. As Amy said, “allowing myself to do the thing I wanted to do has been amazing. I feel more alive.”

Join us as we discuss:

·   How the chaos of the pandemic created an opportunity for reinvention

·   How believing in herself has resolved a lifelong worry that she wasn’t “good enough” to do what she loved

·   How voiceover artistry has given Amy the creative outlet she has yearned for

·   How interesting and rewarding she finds her new work, and how excited she is for the future.

Julie Ellis, a co-founder of Mabel's labels and the author of Big Gorgeous Goals, has a unique perspective on success. When she and her co-founders sold Mabel’s Labels to Avery, she felt both proud of the accomplishment and sad about losing what they had enjoyed building. This is a very common but rarely discussed part of Great Work. 

So much of what we talk about focuses on getting started and overcoming hurdles, staying at it, and building toward success.

But what happens when we get it? 

What happens when we do the impossible, summit the mountain, and achieve the dream?

What do we do with the reality that even though we are grateful for the success we’ve achieved, we are also confronted with the loss?

This is Julie’s story. Julie’s process of recovering her excitement for the work that was ahead of her helped her to develop her philosophy on Big Gorgeous Goals, which in turn became her book. 

Join us as we discuss:

·   How to set big, gorgeous goals to pursue in your one wild and precious life

·   How to believe in a goal that you feel like you have no business wanting or pursuing

·   How to discover joy and excitement for the work that is ahead of you

·  How to assemble systems, structures, and people to support your big, gorgeous goals

This interview with Mary Tess Rooney is the reminder that we all need that our joy and happiness matter at least as much as what other people expect of us. Mary Tess is the author of Heart Value, a book that helps us ensure we are making career and life decisions from the intersection of the value we offer the world that also lights us up.  

What Mary Tess describes as Heart Value is very close to what I call Great Work, which is why it was such an easy decision to invite her to the podcast. And I’m very glad I did! Mary Tess is no pie-in-the-sky Pollyanna. She urges us to acknowledge that it can be challenging to speak up and share our heart value with the world, and she encourages us to be strategic and honest about what’s possible right now and what might need some time to unfold. In both cases, she emphasizes that we are not rushing towards something better, but instead, we are building a habit of honoring our heart value. 

Join us as we discuss:

·    Why the people we work with need to see us in ways that matter to us instead of ways that matter to them.

·    How to let our heart value guide our practical actions and tactical choices, and how that is the surest way to create a life we love.

·    Why we need to impact our careers by sharing what lights us up and asking for the opportunity to do more of that

·    How to cherish your EPIC adventure, even when things do not go as planned
