Work From The Inside Out episodes

July 10, 2019 032: From Analyzer to Decision Maker – Ruth-Anne Eisler
Ruth-Anne Eisler is a business writer, editor, and corporate communications specialist working with a wide range of clients, including speech-language pathology, creative arts, animal welfare, political candidates, non-profits, and governmental organizations. As a former professional musician and legal researcher, Ruth-Anne leverages her unique background by converging artistry with logic, producing bespoke solutions for clients who require clear, assured, and human-centered communications.
Ruth-Anne Eisler studied music and became a professional classical musician early in her career. She reflects on those younger years as being a difficult time in which she spent a lot of time alone practicing and scrambling to get paid work. In order to gain greater stability and security, she turned to other areas of interest, law, and writing, obtaining a paralegal certificate. After several years working in that field, she wanted to do something more that would also enable her to be available to her young son, so she started her own corporate communications business. She credits working with a coach toward helping her to make decisions that moved her forward and into action.

July 03, 2019 031 – Be Selfish for the Greater Good – Jamie Jay
Jaime Jay is the owner of Bottleneck Virtual Assistants based in Springfield, Missouri. At the core, Jamie is a connector of personalities and brands. He constantly challenges himself to be a better human being. He is also an amateur hockey player and starter Geek who truly enjoys helping his clients rediscover themselves, their companies and how to realize their why.
Jaime Jay made some early career decisions that were motivated by his desire to unburden his mother rather than to begin to shape his future. When his father was suddenly sentenced to jail on embezzlement charges, his mother, with very limited resources, was struggling to take care of Jaime and his younger brother. Jaime enlisted in the US Army. Later, he joined corporate America and found that he “just was not a corporate person”. Eventually, he went the entrepreneurial route.
Would you leave an honest rating and review on Apple Podcast? They are extremely helpful and I read each and every one of them. Thanks for the inspiration!

In this episode we discuss:

* How Jamie joined the U.S. Army to unburden his mom after his dad went to jail on embezzlement charges; how they were homeless and his mom was left to care for him and his younger brother on very limited resources.
* His experience in the Army, including getting married at 22, having a child, and soon after discharge being asked for a divorce. Specifically, he shares he “was homeless with only $364 in my pocket.”
* How Jamie felt he was back where he started as if he had no sense of direction.
* The irony that as a young child, he had a dream of becoming a CEO in the corner office, unlike most kids who have visions of becoming a firefighter or policeman.
* Jamie’s experience traveling into corporate America and “living the dream” until he realized the materialism of that life was not fulfilling.
* His current position as a business owner and why he is happiest now.

June 26, 2019 030 – From Profits to Purpose – Erik Bergman
Erik Bergman is the co-founder of Katina Media, a company that went from zero to 300 plus employees in five years. During this journey, Erik made more money than he will ever need in his life, but at the expense of burning himself out as well as his business partner and his fiance both of whom also worked for the company. Erik now 31, lives in Malta and is a native of Sweden.
At the age of 28 years, Erik was ringing the bell of the stock exchange, making more money than he would ever need in his life, yet he was deeply unhappy and very unhealthy for such a young man. All of that changed, as his business and personal relationships, fell apart. He found himself alone and realized everything had to change. He started the company, great.com where, this time, the focus wasn’t extreme growth, but rather wellbeing, transparency, trust, and flexibility for the team and where 100% of the profits are donated to charity.
Would you leave an honest rating and review on Apple Podcast? They are extremely helpful and I read each and every one of them. Thanks for the inspiration!

In this episode we discuss:

* How Erik started his first business at the age of 20.
* How he became less afraid of failing after experiencing his own business failures.
* Erik’s experience of driving himself and everyone around him so aggressively that the company made it to the stock market, but they were burned out to an extreme.
* How Erik’s priorities shifted dramatically in order to regain his health and restore the relationships that had been deeply damaged.
* His new company, great.com, and how it is based on trust and flexibility to instill a healthy and productive work environment.

June 19, 2019 029 – Small Steps to Big Change – Rock and Voss
Jennifer Rock and Michael Voss spent two decades careening through corporate America and barely lived to write about it. As company journalists, speechwriters, and C-suite advisors, they stockpiled insider stories and cautionary tales, which they turned into two novels: B.S., Incorporated and Operation Clusterpuck. Both live near Minneapolis where they own a communications agency, speaking to groups of all sizes, and share their perspectives in publications like the Washington Post.
Jennifer Rock and Michael Voss were corporate communications directors at Best Buy for many years. One day they bowed out of a ‘soul-crushing’ meeting and stole away for a drink. From that moment on, a new partnership formed. They began to plan their first novel and 5 years later, they started their own communications firm. They have since written two humorous novels showcasing parodies of corporate life, “B.S. Inc.” and “Operation Clusterpuck”.
Would you leave an honest rating and review on Apple Podcast? They are extremely helpful and I read each and every one of them. Thanks for the inspiration!

In this episode we discuss:

* How they are grateful for the years they worked together at Best Buy and how they discovered the need for something different in their professional lives.
* Jennifer’s story about going through a divorce while she was also making a significant career transition and what worked for her through the process.
* Michael’s story about being married with two children and how his decision to leave the corporate world was embraced and supported by his family.
* How they have written two humorous novels showcasing parodies of corporate life, called “B.S. Incorporated” and “Operation Clusterpuck.”
* How Michael and Jennifer talked about the planning steps and the thought process they engaged in to take the risk to leave steady employment.
