Brian Sachetta is the author and owner of Get Out of Your Head®, a brand and book series that seeks to help folks overcome anxiety and depression.
By trade, Brian is a software developer. He combines his experiences in the tech world with previous mental health battles to draw parallels between computer systems and the human mind and give readers practical strategies for evading their own psychological demons.
Brian currently has two books on the market, “Get Out of Your Head: A Toolkit for Living with and Overcoming Anxiety” and “Get Out of Your Head Vol. 2: Navigating the Abyss of Depression.” His mission is to help as many sufferers as possible through not only those books but also his blog and podcast appearances.
Since high school / college, my career has been mostly: software development from 9-5 (combination of FT jobs, freelance projects, and starting a few small companies / apps with friends), then writing on nights and weekends.
I enjoy both professions, but I find more meaning in the writing and would like to lean into it more. Just a matter of having the sales to support my living expenses (not quite there yet).
In my free time (besides writing), you can find me checking out new restaurants, running / walking around town, listening to audiobooks and podcasts, or traveling to warm weather (Boston is cold 6-7 months a year).

Have you ever had an event that upends your life? One of those things that makes you take stock of who you are, what you’re doing, and what’s most important? Today, Belinda talks with Kevin Hoover, who transitioned from corporate management to executive coach. Kevin's journey was spurred by personal circumstances, notably his son's cancer diagnosis, which brought immense stress and challenges. Kevin shares how he learned to manage stress through reflection and small breaks, emphasizing their role in resetting and boosting productivity.
We delve into the importance of breaks and the need for a cultural shift away from the traditional 9-to-5 grind. Kevin offers practical suggestions for taking effective breaks, such as meditation or quick social media checks. He also underscores the critical role of sleep in stress management, advocating prioritizing the necessary hours of sleep over what we might want.
Kevin provides three key tips for stress management. First, prioritize sleep by discovering your body's natural sleep needs. Next, reframe your mindset about daily tasks, focusing on what you get to do rather than what you have to do. Lastly, establish clear boundaries between work and personal life, creating "hard stops" to regain control and reduce stress.
Kevin shares his journey of navigating adversity and finding purpose through his nonprofit organization, Hug Your People, which supports families dealing with pediatric cancer. We discuss shifting company culture and the importance of allowing employees to make an impact and utilize their talents.
When asked about his definition of working from his happy place, Kevin emphasizes the need for comfort, safety, love, and control in one's environment. He discusses his daily planner designed to change the mindset of C-suite executives, encouraging them to view their day as a "get to do" list rather than a "to do" list.
In closing, Kevin reminds us that stress management is not a luxury but a necessity, and small shifts in our daily approach can yield significant reductions in stress and increased enjoyment.
Key Learnings from the Episode:
[Challenging the traditional work culture [00:07:09]
Reframing mindset about the day [00:10:56]
Navigating Adversity and Finding Purpose [00:19:02]
The shift in culture [00:28:59]
Working from your happy place [00:32:18]
About Kevin Hoover -
I spent over 15 years in corporate management before carving my own path. It was and is the most challenging and rewarding thing to do. Currently, I work with business leaders through my company called Next Crest in areas like stress management, positive company culture & living a balanced life.
My story was re-written in 2019 when my, then, 4 year old son was diagnosed with stage IV cancer. It shook me to my core. I dropped everything & vowed to be at every treatment & appointment that he had. I built my coaching business from a children's hospital. Literally.
Over the next 70 weeks, our priorities would get a big wake-up call. My son beat cancer & changed my life. I'm proud to say that he is a happy & healthy 7-year-old as I type this.
When you come out of that, you have no choice but to ask yourself questions. I spent a lot of time searching for my purpose until I landed on Next Crest.
It is my passion to help leaders be better leaders. I've developed a planner for higher levels of productivity, coached business leaders to more success & shared our story on stages across the country.
Possibly the craziest thing we've done is sell our house & travel the US for 13 months in an RV to support our nonprofit called Hug Your People. We have been about to impact over 400 pediatric cancer families through our organization to date.
