#395 Colin Savage: Why Skill Stacking Is the New Lifelong Learning — Part One
28 May· Chief Change Officer
If reinvention were a passport, Colin Savage’s pages would be full. From global projects across seven countries to helping old-school industries like Japanese insurers modernize with tact, Colin’s career isn’t just built on change—it thrives on it.
In Part One, we go deep on the difference between chasing novelty and building purpose. Colin dismantles the dated idea of “lifelong learning” and replaces it with something sharper: skill stacking. You’ll also hear how he developed change muscles by moving countries, industries, and ideas—without ever losing sight of what matters.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
The Purpose Behind the Pivot
“Change is exciting—but if there’s no deeper reason behind it, it’s just noise.” Why purpose should lead, not lag, behind transformation.
Skill Stacking vs. Lifelong Learning
“Lifelong learning sounds noble—but it’s often aimless. Skill stacking is intentional.” Colin’s case for mastering combinations over collecting badges.
Japan: Where Change Means Patience
“In the Japanese life insurance industry, I learned that fast isn’t always smart.” Why transformation in traditional sectors demands humility and consensus.
The Trap of Unfinished Adventures
“You can jump into change for the thrill—but it’s the follow-through that matters.” Why Colin says completion is underrated in careers.
Addicted to Change? Own It.
“I love novelty—but I’ve learned to pair it with discipline.” Colin’s method for staying curious without burning out.

#394 Rebecca Sutherns: Career on Her Terms—From Global Aid to Solopreneur Strategy — Part Two
26 May· Chief Change Officer
Rebecca Sutherns didn’t follow a straight path—and she’s the first to say that’s the point. As a strategy coach and solo entrepreneur for 27 years, she’s helped leaders rethink what’s next while doing the same for herself. In this two-part series, we talk about work-life trade-offs, momentum, and why imagining your future might be the most strategic thing you’ll do.

If you’ve ever hit pause or felt stuck in place, this one’s worth a listen.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
Midlife Isn’t a Crisis—It’s a Cue
“I wasn’t burning out, but I could tell I was flatlining.”
How Rebecca used a sabbatical to catch up with herself—not because she broke, but because she was ready for something deeper.
What Comes After ‘I’ve Got This’
“I kept getting hired for things I could do in my sleep. That’s when I knew it was time to stretch again.”
The danger of being competent—and the invitation to do more than just deliver.
Stop Filling Gaps You Don’t Want to Own
“I could solve the problem, but that didn’t mean I should.”
Why she stepped back from team leadership roles—even when others saw it as a step up.
Sabbatical as Prototype
“It was a test. Could I shift the pace and still be useful?”
Why her sabbatical wasn’t a break from work—it was a strategic experiment in working differently.
A Career Built Like a Hammock
“The structure holds me, but it flexes.”
Her metaphor for a work life that stretches without snapping—anchored but adjustable.

#393 Rebecca Sutherns: Career on Her Terms—From Global Aid to Solopreneur Strategy — Part One
26 May· Chief Change Officer
Rebecca Sutherns didn’t follow a straight path—and she’s the first to say that’s the point. As a strategy coach and solo entrepreneur for 27 years, she’s helped leaders rethink what’s next while doing the same for herself. In this two-part series, we talk about work-life trade-offs, momentum, and why imagining your future might be the most strategic thing you’ll do.

27 Years Solo—By Design
“I’m in year 27 of my own solopreneurial journey.”
Why she stayed intentionally solo—and never looked back.
The Business Started in the Gaps
“If it sounded interesting… and if I could find some childcare, then it was like, okay, I’ll say yes.”
How her career grew between naptimes and network calls.
The Flight That Changed Her Fees
“This guy said, ‘You’re charging what?’ And I ended up in this business school program that totally transformed how I priced.”
One plane ride, one wake-up call, five times the income.
Why She Chose Not to Scale
“I didn’t want the responsibility of paying someone else’s mortgage.”

#392 Robert MacPhee: From Parking Cars to Coaching Clarity—Lessons from a Chicken Soup Insider — Part Two
26 May· Chief Change Officer
Robert MacPhee didn’t start out teaching values—he started out parking cars. But somewhere between the valet stand and becoming Jack Canfield’s right-hand man (yes, that Chicken Soup guy), Robert found his lane. Now the author of Living a Values-Based Life, he’s guiding people to stop driving in circles and finally align their actions with what truly matters.
In this second half of the series, Robert breaks down how to live out your values in everyday life—not just name them. We dig into why values change with life stages, what to do after you’ve identified your top five, and how to keep them visible and active as your world evolves.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, misaligned, or unsure what to prioritize, this episode gives you the clarity compass you didn’t know you needed.
Key Highlights of Our Interviews:
Why It’s So Hard to Define Our Own Values
“Most people’s initial list of values often reflects what they think others want to hear.”
We’re conditioned to impress, not reflect—until we learn how to tune out the noise and tune into what really matters.
How a Values-Based Life Can Improve Work
“Clarity about values doesn’t just make personal life better—it’s transformative for work too.”
Whether it’s contribution, integrity, or service, values-aligned action makes work more purposeful and less draining.
Do Values Change Over Time? The Short Answer: Yes.
“What mattered in high school may be worlds apart from your sixties or seventies.”
Life events—from caregiving to career pivots—reshape our internal compass. Values aren’t static; they evolve with us.
Keeping Values Visible
“Have them on your phone, your mirror, your nightstand—whatever it takes.”
Don’t just declare your values. Revisit them, reflect on them, and let them guide your daily decisions.
Borrowing Values When You Need Them
“Discipline and strength may not be on your list—but sometimes, you’ll need to call them in.”
Complementary values can be summoned in certain seasons—without betraying your core.
The 4 A’s: A Framework for Application
“Assess, pick an Area, choose Actions, and create Accountability.”
Robert’s system helps you go from intention to implementation—because without action, it’s just a nice conversation.

#391 Robert MacPhee: From Parking Cars to Coaching Clarity—Lessons from a Chicken Soup Insider — Part One
25 May· Chief Change Officer
Before he was coaching CEOs or co-creating workshops with Jack Canfield, Robert MacPhee was parking cars. That detour became a defining feature—not a footnote.
In Part One, Robert shares his unlikely path from backstage support to clarity coach. We explore why most people struggle to name their values, how he built the “Excellent Decisions” framework, and why aligning your choices with your core values is less about woo-woo ideals and more about long-term clarity.
Forget vibes—this episode is about learning to steer your life with your own internal compass.
Key Highlights of Our Interviews:
From Jack Canfield to Clarity Coach
“I had the great pleasure of working with Jack Canfield for close to 10 years… and then I developed Excellent Decisions, about making choices from vision and values.”
How working with the Chicken Soup for the Soul co-founder led Robert to create his own framework for alignment and success.
The Definition of Values (Without the Fluff)
“Our values are what’s most important to us… the areas we want to put time and attention on, and how we want to show up in the world.”
Robert demystifies “values” into two key categories—priorities and ways of being—and why this distinction matters.
Dust-Free and Proud: How Values Show Up at Work
“One company literally listed ‘dust-free’ as a core value—because they cared deeply about being a good neighbor.”
A surprising story about a construction company that proves values don’t need to be lofty—they just need to be lived.
A Workshop, a Wake-Up Call, and 35 Pounds Lost
“She just got clear that health mattered. Seven weeks later, she lost 35 pounds.”
Why values clarity can be more powerful than any diet plan, productivity hack, or goal-setting framework.
Why Most People Can’t Name Their Values
“Schools don’t teach it. Parents rarely do. We’re basically flying blind through life.”
Robert explains why we inherit others’ values by default—and how to break the cycle with conscious exploration.

#390 Erin Diehl: From Talk Show Dreams to a Business Built on Bombing — Part Two
25 May· Chief Change Officer
Part Two.
The queen of corporate improv is back—and this time, we’re going deeper into the messy, magnificent art of failing forward. In this episode, Erin Diehl shares her Worst Terrifying Failure (aka WTF moment): how the pandemic brought her business to a standstill, her body to a breakdown, and her mindset to a crossroads. But instead of spiraling, she built a comeback rooted in self-healing, radical joy, and a step-by-step method called MOVE ON.
From chronic pain to corporate reinvention, this episode is a masterclass in resilience—with punchlines. Spoiler: the joke’s not on you. It’s for you.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
WTF = Worst Terrifying Failure
 “2020 was my crash course in failure.” Erin unpacks the three Ps—pivoting, people-pleasing, and pain—and how they nearly broke her until she rebuilt with purpose, priorities, and peace.
Marinate: Sit With It, Not In It
“Failure isn’t a bruise—it’s a process.” Erin’s MOVE ON method starts with pausing and processing, not pushing through.
Own It: Forgive and Face the Thought Worms
“80% of our thoughts are negative—and we repeat 95% of them.” Learn how Erin rewired her mental patterns with self-compassion and honesty.
Verify the Lessons & Evaluate the Plan
“Every faceplant teaches you something—if you’re paying attention.” Erin explains how reflection plus action equals transformation.
Observe and Next Failure: Keep Going
“The N stands for the Next Failure—because there will be one.” Erin’s method is built for real life, where the next curveball is always around the corner.
Joy as a Strategy, Not a Side Effect
“My goal every day is to feel good—because if I don’t, I can’t help anyone else.” Erin closes with a message on generosity, energy, and the contagious power of a smile.

#389 Erin Diehl: From Talk Show Dreams to a Business Built on Bombing — Part One
25 May· Chief Change Officer
Before Erin Diehl was training Fortune 500 teams to think on their feet, she was juggling job fairs by day and Second City by night.
In Part One, we go back to the origin story—how a recruiting job collided with a comedy stage and sparked a business idea no one saw coming. From cold pitching United Airlines with zero credentials to redefining ROI as “Return on Objective,” Erin shares how improv became her leadership laboratory. Along the way, we talk about joy, failure, and what really happens when you turn your side hustle into your full-time mission.

In the Business of Joy

From Talk Show Dreams to Leadership Teams
“I wanted to be Oprah. I ended up helping people lead better lives through improv.”

25 May· Chief Change Officer
In a world obsessed with AI, automation, and the next big tech trend, Todd Davis believes human intelligence is more valuable than ever.
Sure, AI can crunch numbers—but can it build trust, resolve conflicts, or make people feel heard?
In Part 2, we go straight into the human side of leadership—why most people don’t actually listen, why trust is like a bank account, and how one employee nearly lost her career over a simple blind spot. Todd also shares a powerful story about a prison inmate who transformed his life using The 7 Habits—a reminder that leadership isn’t about titles. It’s about impact.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:

The leadership skill no one teaches—but everyone needs.
The Trust Bank Account
“Withdraw too much without making deposits, and you’ll be bankrupt.”
How trust works just like money—and why leaders must invest in it.
A Career Almost Ruined by One Blind Spot

Todd Davis didn’t just teach The 7 Habits—he lived them for 30 years inside the leadership company that built its name on them.
As the former Chief People Officer at FranklinCovey, Todd spent three decades coaching teams, executives, and entire organizations on what truly drives effectiveness—and what quietly kills it.

Whether you’re leading a team or just trying to survive your next meeting, this is your crash course in timeless leadership with zero fluff.

#386 Lisa Bodell: Stop Drowning in Complexity—How Simplicity Fuels Innovation — Part Two
23 May· Chief Change Officer
What if the biggest barrier to innovation isn’t a lack of ideas—but a mountain of pointless work?
In Part Two of this series, Lisa Bodell, CEO of FutureThink and one of the world’s top speakers on simplification, walks us through her strategy to make work—and life—less overwhelming and more meaningful. She shares how organizations like Pfizer and Google cut clutter to free up creativity, and how we can do the same in our personal lives. Lisa also gets personal about parenting, mental health, and why she believes simplicity is a survival skill in the age of AI.
From ditching unnecessary meetings to raising future-ready kids, this episode is a manual for letting go of the noise and doubling down on what matters.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
Why Simplicity Is a Leadership Strategy
“Simplification isn’t organizing. It’s deletion. If you removed just 10% of your clutter—mental or physical—your life would transform.”
Kill a Stupid Rule (Redux)
“Pfizer didn’t need more innovation. They needed fewer barriers. Killing one pointless process saved them thousands of hours.”
Busy ≠ Valuable
“We’ve rewarded ‘more’ instead of ‘meaningful.’ Hustle culture thrives on this lie—and it’s breaking people.”
Personal Simplicity Starts with Self-Audit
“Write down everything you do in a month. Circle what’s meaningful. Now ask: what can you delete, delegate, or decline?”
How to Say No Without Burning Bridges
“Try saying: ‘Yes, if…’ instead of ‘Yes, and…’ Boundaries are the gateway to better work.”
AI vs. Human Intelligence
“AI gives you answers. But it can’t ask the right questions. That’s where human intelligence still leads.”
What Schools Get Wrong About the Future
“We’re training kids to be future employees, not future humans. That’s got to change.”
Redefining Learning with Power Skills
“Forget soft skills—they’re power skills now. Curiosity, resilience, empathy: these will matter more than any degree.”
Raising Future-Ready Humans
“My daughter trained with the FBI. My son wants to be an entrepreneur. I bring them to my talks so they see work in action.”
Why Simplicity Is a Mental Health Imperative
“It’s not about doing less—it’s about doing more of what matters. Simplicity doesn’t just help work. It heals people.”

#385 Lisa Bodell: Stop Drowning in Complexity—How Simplicity Fuels Innovation — Part One
23 May· Chief Change Officer
Lisa Bodell didn’t just study the future—she built a career helping others prepare for it.
In Part One of this two-part series, the CEO of FutureThink shares how her path from advertising to futurism led to a global mission: helping teams simplify, innovate, and stop drowning in busywork. She breaks down what it really means to be a futurist (hint: no crystal balls involved), why complexity is the true enemy of innovation, and how she’s helped companies like Pfizer kill zombie meetings and make space for what actually matters.
If your calendar is packed but your brain is fried, this episode is for you.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
From Ads to Innovation Strategy
“I was great at selling creative ideas—but I realized people needed help generating them.”
What a Futurist Actually Does
“It’s not about trendspotting. It’s a structured approach to planning multiple scenarios—and preparing for them.”
Why Simplicity Comes First
“People aren’t tired of innovation. They’re tired of all the unnecessary stuff that gets in the way.”
The Leap into Entrepreneurship
“When you work for yourself, there’s no safety net. But that’s what makes it exciting—and all yours.”
Pivoting with Purpose
“Nothing stays the same. The best entrepreneurs know how—and when—to shift.”
Futuring ≠ Trendspotting
“Real futurists use models, not guesses. It’s about resilience through structured foresight.”
Kill a Stupid Rule (Yes, Really)
“When Pfizer saw that employees couldn’t get things done, we trained 40 champions in one simple tactic: kill a stupid rule. The result? Thousands of hours—and dollars—saved.”
Make Room for What Matters
“Simplification isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing more of what’s meaningful.”
Busy ≠ Valuable
“We reward people for doing more, not for doing what matters. That’s the problem.”
Personal Simplicity = Mental Clarity
“Write down everything you do. Circle what’s meaningful. Then start deleting what’s not.”

#384 Deborah Perry Piscione: From Power Plays to Pay-It-Forward—How Work Got Rewritten — Part Two
22 May· Chief Change Officer
Part Two of a 2-part series with Deborah Perry Piscione.
She’s been a White House staffer, a Silicon Valley founder, and now co-author of Employment is Dead. In this final chapter, Deborah unpacks the future of learning, hiring, and leadership. Her son skipped college, built a six-figure business, and learned survival in Antarctica—and she says that path may be more relevant than a classroom.
From blockchain credentials to portfolio careers and life-stage flexibility, Deborah lays out what’s next for both workers and employers. She also answers the big question: does “employment is dead” mean we stop working? Not even close. But we do stop settling.
If you’re a leader, parent, or Gen Zer trying to understand what the future holds—this one’s for you.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
Degrees Are Optional, Grit Isn’t
“My son crossed the Drake Passage and got left on a roadside in Argentina. He didn’t go back to college—but he learned more than any syllabus could teach.”
Employment Is Dead? Not Quite
“I’m not saying sit in the basement and play video games. I’m saying don’t tolerate a system that treats you like a cog.”
The Rise of Life-Stage Flexibility
“Whether you’re 25 or 55, you deserve a career path that adjusts to your life—not the other way around.”
Why Employers Must Wake Up Now
“One person can now do the job of three. If leaders don’t plan for that shift, they’ll lose talent before they know what hit them.”
The Most Important Executive Role? CHRO
“Yes, you need a chief AI officer. But you need a human-centered CHRO even more—to help people evolve with the tech.”
The IBM Example
“IBM’s CEO told employees: ‘If this next chapter isn’t for you, we’ll help you find a new path.’ That’s empathy in action.”
Let’s Talk T-Shaped Talent
“It’s not just about your vertical expertise—it’s what else you bring across disciplines that makes you valuable now.”
Redefining Work in the AI Age
“New tech like smart contracts and DAOs will let us work on our terms, from anywhere, on things we actually care about.”
Why Gen Z Might Be Right
“We were told to follow one path. They’re building ten—and most of them don’t involve climbing a corporate ladder.”
What ‘Employment Is Dead’ Really Means
“Traditional jobs may be fading, but work isn’t going anywhere. What’s dying is the idea that your life has to fit inside someone else’s system.”

#383 Deborah Perry Piscione: From Power Plays to Pay-It-Forward—How Work Got Rewritten — Part One
22 May· Chief Change Officer
What happens when a political insider, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, and a bestselling author walk into a podcast? You get Deborah Perry Piscione.
In Part One of this two-part series, Deborah shares her wild career ride—from shaping policy in Washington to pioneering bottoms-up innovation in tech. She breaks down why fear is a tool in politics, but collaboration fuels real change—and how a chance encounter in a coffee shop led to her first startup and a new lens on what work could be.
From co-founding six ventures to co-authoring Employment is Dead, Deborah’s story is a masterclass in trusting your instincts, failing fast, and knowing when to break the rules. Part Two will dive deeper into AI, upskilling, and why Gen Z might be the smartest workforce we’ve ever had.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
From Capitol Hill to Palo Alto
“In D.C., I learned how to divide people. In Silicon Valley, I learned how to bring them together.”
The Starbucks That Changed Everything
“A stranger asked, ‘How can I help you?’ Three weeks later, I had venture capital.”
Six Companies, Six Books, No Master Plan
“I didn’t have a big strategy—just instincts, observation, and the nerve to try.”
Innovation Isn’t Top-Down Anymore
“The best ideas often come from the people with the smallest paychecks.”
Risk Is the Real Skill
“You can throw ten ideas at the wall. One might stick. The rest will teach you.”
Founders Dilemma: Know When to Let Go
“Sometimes it’s not about the perfect number—it’s about moving the mission forward.”
Why She Launched Work3 Institute
“People spend most of their waking hours at work. So why do so many feel terrible doing it?”
Old Model, New World
“I never understood why finishing work early meant I had to sit until 6 p.m. Taylorism still haunts us.”
Empowering Workers, Not Just Employers
“We’re not just talking to companies—we’re telling workers: you have choices now.”
Gen Z Knows More Than the Bosses
“For the first time, a generation entering the workforce understands the future of work better than the people in charge.”

#382 Josh Drean: Employment Is Dead—Now Let’s Rebuild It — Part Three
22 May· Chief Change Officer
Part Three of a 3-part series with Josh Drean.
Josh isn’t here to tweak the old system—he’s here to build a new one. In this final chapter, the Work3 Institute co-founder and co-author of Employment is Dead goes deep on what it actually takes to evolve.
Vince and Josh tackle the hard stuff: Are degrees still relevant in a skills-first world? How does blockchain flip the hiring process? What if your next “employee” is actually a DAO participant with token voting power? And what happens to companies who still think Zoom fatigue is the biggest problem facing the future of work?
If your HR strategy still lives in a Word doc, this episode is your sign to evolve—or get left behind.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
Degrees vs. Skills: Why the Shift Is Happening Now
“Degrees used to guarantee employment. Not anymore. Employers are waking up—skills win.”
The Truth About Ivy League Pedigree
“At Harvard, the education’s fine—but it’s the connections that count. That’s the real ROI of the degree.”
AI Has Already Broken the Hiring Process
“You’ve got AI writing job descriptions, AI writing résumés, and AI screening candidates. Humans barely touch the funnel anymore.”
Blockchain and the Rise of the Verifiable Résumé
“With blockchain, we don’t have to trust you—we already know. Your digital wallet becomes your skills passport.”
DAO 101: Flattening Hierarchies and Sharing Power
“A DAO lets frontline workers vote on strategy, not just execute it. It’s work by consensus, not command.”
Why Micromanagers Should Be Nervous
“We don’t need six layers of oversight. Tech lets teams self-govern and move faster—with less drama.”
The Gen Z Warning Shot
“Gen Z isn’t lazy—they’re just not buying the 9-to-5. If you don’t offer autonomy and impact, they’ll leave.”
Spotify’s Win: Let Work Fit Life, Not the Other Way Around
“Companies like Spotify get it—flexibility, rhythm, and respect lead to loyalty.”
From Analog to AI: Vince’s Gen X Reflection
“We learned on Lotus, adapted to Excel, and now manage in the age of ChatGPT. Tech is the bridge, not the barrier.”
Final Advice for Employers: Evolve or Be Replaced
“Change isn’t optional. Either reshape your workplace—or get ready to lose your best people to the ones who did.”

#381 Josh Drean: Employment Is Dead—Now Let’s Rebuild It — Part Two
22 May· Chief Change Officer
Part Two of a 3-part series on Josh Drean.
Josh has worn many hats—Harvard MBA, psychology grad, co-founder of Work3 Institute and now, co-author of Employment is Dead (Harvard Business Review Press).
In Part 1, we tore down the outdated rituals of traditional employment, including the performative disaster that is the annual engagement survey. Today in Part 2, we go behind the scenes: how did a random cold call spark a bestselling book that landed at HBR?
Josh shares the publishing highs and headaches—crafting a 120-page proposal, keeping the book relevant in a fast-changing world, and building an audience in real time on social media while the manuscript sat in editing limbo. This one’s for every creator, innovator, and future-of-work disruptor trying to stay ahead of the curve.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
A Book Born from a Cold Call
“I know this sounds completely random, but do you want to write a book together?” That’s how co-author Deborah Perry Piscione kicked off Employment is Dead. One unexpected phone call, a big idea, and a sticky title later—they caught Harvard Business Review’s attention.
Publishing in a Real-Time World
“Imagine writing a chapter a year ago, only to have it go live twelve months later—it’s outdated by then.” With AI and Web3 changing everything weekly, Josh kept the conversation fresh through TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube while waiting for the book to hit shelves.
The Proposal That Was ‘Way Too Long’
“We ended up with 120 pages—which everyone said was way too much.” But that oversized pitch sparked a bidding war. Why? Because they weren’t just selling a book. They were calling out a broken system—and offering a blueprint to fix it.

#380 Josh Drean: Employment Is Dead—Now Let’s Rebuild It — Part One
22 May· Chief Change Officer
What if employment as we know it has already died—and we’re just pretending not to notice?
In Part One of this three-part series, Josh Drean—Harvard MBA, startup founder, and co-author of Employment is Dead(Harvard Business Review Press)—joins Vince to dissect the slow death of traditional work. From the failure of annual engagement surveys to the false promise of “people-first” slogans, Josh makes it clear: the current system was built for the factory floor, not the future.
We trace Josh’s journey from studying psychology to working in corporate consulting during the pandemic, and now building the Work3 Institute to help leaders redesign employment itself. Why is HR still feared? Why are employees called “assets” but treated like expenses? And how can new technologies like Web3 create better human systems?
Part Two digs into how a cold outreach led to an HBR publishing deal—and the 10 principles Josh says every modern worker wants now.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
Why Engagement Surveys Are a Broken Ritual
“Surveys are the dumbest way to build a relationship. They’re not designed for honesty—and most leaders don’t really want the truth.”
The False Math of ‘People Are Our Greatest Asset’
“If people were really assets, they’d show up on the balance sheet. But they don’t. They’re an expense—and treated like one.”
The Pandemic Wake-Up Call
“I started consulting right as COVID hit. It forced companies to rethink safety, remote work, and what their employees actually needed.”
The HR Dilemma: Protector of People or Risk Manager?
“Most employees still associate HR with layoffs. That’s a brand problem—and a system design failure.”
From Assembly Lines to AI: Why Taylorism Is Still Haunting Us
“Modern work still clings to an industrial-era model—check the box, don’t ask questions. That doesn’t fit the information age.”
How Psychology Led Josh Into Web3 and DAO Culture
“My reason for doing this never changed—it’s about building better experiences. But tech gave me the tools to scale that.”
Meet the Digital Native Workforce (a.k.a. Your Kids)
“My 8-year-old builds real friendships through Fortnite. If you think digital community isn’t real—you’re already behind.”
The 10 Operating Principles of Work3
“From flexibility and autonomy to interoperability and ownership—these are the non-negotiables for the next generation of work.”
Why Forcing People Back to the Office Will Backfire
“Employees don’t want the typewriter factory version of work. RTO is a backwards step—and they know it.”
From Psychology Grad to HBR Author: Josh’s Journey Begins
“I didn’t have a tenured chair or a best-selling track record. Just a cold outreach, a clear message—and a broken system to fix.”

#379 Alison Stewart: Building a Life Concierge Startup From Scratch—Part Two
18 May· Chief Change Officer
Overwhelmed by life? Alison Stewart gets it—and she’s building a startup to help fix it.
In Part Two, the Overalls COO shares how her team is rethinking employee benefits by offering something surprisingly human: life support, literally. Whether it’s booking a plumber, navigating eldercare, or finding summer camps before the January rush, Overalls acts as a concierge for the chaos of modern life.
Alison also opens up about what it really takes to scale an idea from zero—while trusting yourself to write the policies, run the ops, and still answer the phones. Spoiler: she’s done it all. If you’ve ever dreamed of building something meaningful from scratch, this is your operations masterclass.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:
What Overalls Actually Does (Hint: It’s Not Laundry)
“We’re your life concierge—handling everything from vetting plumbers to eldercare planning. Our job is to give your time and sanity back.”
The Startup Test: From Strategy to Scheduling Cleaners
“Two weeks in, I was calling Colorado well inspectors, pitching insurance partners, and writing job descriptions. All in one day. That’s startup life.”
Why a Stay-at-Home Mom Might Be Your Next Concierge
“We tapped into an overlooked talent pool—retirees, caregivers, underemployed parents—and gave them flexible, meaningful work. It’s a win-win.”
HR Is Finally Getting Thank-You Notes
“Employers tell us: this is the first time employees are actively thanking HR for a benefit. That’s unheard of.”
The Burnout Solution That Isn’t Therapy
“Burnout isn’t always solved by meditation apps. Sometimes, it’s about having someone book that MRI or call the insurance company for you.”
Confidence as a Startup Operator: Earning It Day by Day
“Do I know how to write an HR policy? Not at first. But I figured it out. In a startup, everything’s your job.”
Why Big Company Life Doesn’t Prepare You for This
“In corporate, you focus on one slice. In startup life, you are the pie. You handle everything, whether or not you’ve done it before.”
From Lean to Leveraged: Hiring with Intention
“Writing job descriptions meant I could finally hire someone to take something off my plate. But no one else was going to write them.”
Mindset > Metrics (At Least in the Beginning)
“Don’t just optimize for titles or compensation. Start with: What am I actually excited to build? What problem do I care enough to solve?”
Advice for Fellow Change Progressives
“Talk to people. Write it down. Be honest about what lights you up—and patient with the timeline. Growth is a slow burn. Trust it.”

#378 Alison Stewart: The LinkedIn DM That Launched a Startup—Part One
18 May· Chief Change Officer
Not all career changes are dramatic. Some are deeply deliberate—and a little serendipitous.
In Part One, Alison Stewart, COO of Overalls, walks us through her transition from 10+ years in the financial sector to co-founding a startup she discovered on LinkedIn. With two kids at home and a stable job in a Fortune 100 company, Alison didn’t jump recklessly. Instead, she asked the hard questions: Am I fulfilled? What do I want next? And how much risk am I really willing to take?
This episode unpacks what happens when you combine career intuition with operational precision—and how a well-timed DM can change everything.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:
From Corporate Climb to Personal Wake-Up Call
“Time started blending together during the pandemic. I had to ask: Am I actually happy? Or just coasting in a cycle of constant resets?”
The Treadmill of Big Company Life
“With every leadership change, we took ten steps back before we moved one forward. I was learning—but I wasn’t growing.”
Childhood Moves, Adult Adaptability
“Moving five times by age 14 taught me to see change as an opportunity. That mindset still guides me today.”
The Pregnancy + Merger Combo
“Just weeks before giving birth to my second child, my business unit was sold. The uncertainty could’ve been paralyzing—but I chose to treat it as a new beginning.”
Risk—But Not Reckless: Mapping a Smarter Pivot
“I didn’t quit cold. I asked: What am I good at? What fulfills me? What can my family support? I gave myself permission to explore—and permission to say no.”
The Non-Obvious Job Search Strategy
“Instead of applying for jobs I knew I could do, I reverse-engineered what I wanted: values, pace, purpose. I wasn’t chasing a title—I was chasing a fit.”
The Moment Overalls Popped Off the Screen
“When I read about Overalls, something clicked. I didn’t even know if they were hiring. I just knew I had to reach out.”
Why LinkedIn Isn’t Just Noise
“It wasn’t a random scroll. I used LinkedIn intentionally—to research, reflect, and eventually connect. That DM changed everything.”
Communicating Across Industries
“Moving out of insurance meant translating my skill set. I had to show how what I did mapped onto what I wanted to do.”
Community + Clarity = Career Confidence
“A networking group of MBA alumni helped me spot my own excitement. They said, ‘This one lights you up. Go for it.’ That feedback made all the difference.”

#377 Ral West: From Charter Planes to Real Estate Empires—Systems, Grit, and Reinvention
17 May· Chief Change Officer
Most people retire after one successful business. Ral West kept building.
In this episode, Ral shares how she co-ran a charter airline between Alaska and Hawaii for 25 years—eventually selling it to Alaska Airlines—and then launched into her next chapters: owning cruise ships, investing in real estate syndications, and helping other entrepreneurs find sustainability without burnout.
From navigating gender bias in a family business to designing automated booking systems and letting go of control through delegation, Ral’s story is a masterclass in evolving through every season of life. Whether you’re in the startup grind, planning an exit, or rethinking what “retirement” means—her story will get you dreaming smarter and bolder.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:
The 25-Year Flight Plan: From Tourism to Aviation
“I started in Alaska tourism. My husband was in real estate. Together, we launched a charter service to Hawaii—and turned it into a full airline.”
Selling to Alaska Airlines: A Strategic Exit
“We knew they were entering the Hawaii market. Instead of competing, we showed them why buying us was smarter.”
When Cruise Ships Became the Next Chapter
“We bought five small cruise ships out of bankruptcy, redesigned the Alaskan travel experience—and then pivoted again after COVID shut everything down.”
Why Real Estate Was the Right Post-COVID Play
“We own part of over 6,000 apartment units in five states. Why? Because homeownership is becoming harder, and rental demand is rising.”
From Exhaustion to Empowerment: Lessons from the Middle Years
“Between 35 and 55, I was stretched thin—business, babies, burnout. I had to build systems and teams to stay afloat.”
The Real ROI of Delegation
“Delegation isn’t about giving things away—it’s about building trust and giving others space to shine.”
Turning Intuition into Systems
“I realized I made ad-spend decisions based on 3-day sales trends. Once I named it, I turned it into a repeatable formula my team could follow.”
Reservation System Reinvention
“We invested two years into building an online booking system that ran 24/7—freeing us from the phones and doubling our revenue.”
Not Your Typical Retirement Plan
“I could’ve retired 16 years ago. I didn’t. I love working. My retirement plan is doing what I want, when I want, with the systems to support it.”
Advice for Entrepreneurs at Any Age
“Be bold. Stay curious. Watch the world. And don’t let age—or fear—be the thing that keeps you small.”

#376 Athena Brownson: Healing in Real Time—The Comeback Behind the Chronic Pain — Part Two
17 May· Chief Change Officer
Comebacks rarely happen all at once. They’re built in small moments, with slow wins.
In Part Two, Athena Brownson opens up about what it really takes to rebuild when chronic illness becomes your new normal. She walks us through her mindset rituals, the power of written affirmation, and how she finally learned the one thing no athlete ever wants to admit: she couldn’t do it alone.
From retraining her brain to let go of pain patterns, to redefining leadership through delegation, Athena shares a playbook for resilience that’s part spiritual, part practical, and 100% earned.

Whether you’re healing from illness, burnout, or just life’s curveballs—this is your reminder that growth is still possible, even in survival mode.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
Training Her Brain to Stop Listening to Pain
“Our brains get stuck in pain patterns. I use breathwork, affirmations, and routines to teach mine a new message: You’re safe. You’re healing.”
Why Routines Became Her Lifeline
“Every day starts with journaling, breathwork, affirmations. I write: I am healthy. I am healing. My body is getting stronger. I speak it until I believe it.”
Delegation as a Leadership Superpower
“Being sick taught me what being a leader really means—letting go. Delegation isn’t giving up control; it’s giving others a chance to thrive.”
How Chronic Illness Redefined Her Business Model
“I couldn’t keep doing it all. So I built a team that could run without me on bad days—and succeed with me on the good ones.”
Your Tribe Is Everything
“After ten years, I finally found people who want me well. Who care more about my health than a commission. They’re my family now.”
The Mental Game of Chronic Recovery
“You don’t need to fix it all today. Start with one percent better. That’s how I got out of survival mode.”
Accountability on Paper
“I print out my must-do list and check it off every day. If I don’t write it down, it doesn’t happen. It’s how I stay in motion.”
Pen, Paper, and Confidence
“Writing makes the healing real. Every word reinforces a new belief system—one I can see and hold.”
Jodie Foster, Masterclass, and the Simplicity of Creation
“All you need is pen, paper, and confidence. That line hit me. You don’t need a perfect plan. You just need to start.”
Her Message to Anyone Struggling
“It’s okay to acknowledge pain. Just don’t stay stuck in it. Tiny steps add up. Your healing doesn’t need to be loud—it just needs to begin.”
