Not only that, what if you were told that if you DID pursue your ideas that you would be forced to LEAVE the country?In this episode, you're going to hear a conversation that I know is going to be really eye-opening for a lot of people. It's also a conversation that is really illustrative of all the different options that you may have in your career and in your life. I'd consider Moby Hayat someone who has taught me a lot, somebody who's been a friend over many, many years, somebody who I've been able to look up to, and somebody who's really carved his own path in his career. And if you're familiar with the show, you know we talk a lot about unconventional paths to creating success & fulfillment, and this episode is certainly an example of that.Episode Links:Moby on Instagram https://instagram.com/notthatmoby Facebook https://facebook.com/notthatmoby LinkedIn https://linkedin.com/in/moby

And in this episode, I'm going to review a previous episode that we released with Katie Sagan, the VP of the people and experienced team over at VaynerMedia, just a few episodes back.As a reminder, this won't be a all-encompassing recap of our conversation, but I am going to go over my Top 3 Takeaways from my conversation with Katie and hearing her story. These takeaways are not just going to be fluff, or something to inspire you... no, they're going to be really tactical things and things that you can actually take action on.Once we actually get to the top #1 takeaway, you're going to get an action item, something tactical, something that you can actually take action on NOW if you want to create this certainty and you want to create the security in your employment.And I have to tell you: it was really difficult to narrow the list of takeaways from my conversation with Katie to just three things. I mean, our conversation was amazing, and there were so many things that we can talk about, but I think you're really gonna like what these 3 takeaways are going to teach you, and how you can take action on them and actually improve the trajectory of your career, while also improving the conditions that you're working in right now.

While VaynerMedia is not the only company with that kind of growth, it is one of the few to do so while still keeping its culture and the company's "soul" in-tact and thriving.We'll dive into how they managed to go through massive growth as a company while maintaining a great culture, as well as how Shirlee's unconventional career path can actually serve as a model and a great example if you feel like you're not exactly on the career path you want to be, or if you're second-guessing the path you've chosen.

The first time we connected, we intended to spend 20 minutes just chatting and getting to know each other. Over an hour into our chat, we realized that we were both about to miss our respective scheduling conflicts if we didn't wrap things up.He's one of the few talent consultants who will come right out and tell companies "It's a lot cheaper to retain good people than to try & acquire new ones." All of this coming from a man who's helped to connect world-class individual contributors & leaders at some of the world's most notable tech companies like Spotify.Connect with Mischa on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischa-walmsley1276/

This episode is special because you'll hear Katie really open up about what it's like to spend a huge part of your life looking to create an impact through the "conventional" ways we always think about, and then to recognize that sometimes you can impact the world simply by being in a great environment where you can empower others.In our conversation, we'll cover topics likeWhat it feels like to have a great corporate cultureWhy business is poised to create the greatest global impactWhat it's like to have (multiple) bosses who disagree with you ... and STILL have your backWhat a "boomerang" is ... and why it's both a sign of a great work environment AND a nice little ego boostHow to build an army of career advocates, for yourself and for others

In the face of lockdowns, quarantine, economic change and uncertainty, it seems like everybody's talking about the concept of resilience, and specificallyWhy folks like yourself should become more resilientHow you might have benefitted from already being more resilient than you currently areI've been fascinated by this idea of resilience for the past decade or so, in trying to understand it better and really to better equip myself and those around me to be as resilient as possible.But what is resilience, really? What does it really mean? What is the big deal with resilience, and why is it important? How can it help you in your career and in your life?

Whether on the the battlefield or in business, victory -- consistent, repeated victory -- is achieved by teams of talented people.But what is "talent"? How do you define it? How do you identify it?

You deserve a job that matters a career that is engaging, fulfilling, doing work that is meaningful. You deserve to do more than just clock in and clock out. Well, what if I told you that meaningful work might be where you least expect it?Over 75% of the global workforce identifies as disengaged, unfulfilled or worse... and more and more people are admitting that they're seeking more than just a paycheck when it comes to their job.Now, this poses a challenge, both to job-seekers who are unequipped to find that extra something they're looking for... as well as requiring a different way of thinking for employers who are used to really only dealing in the very surface level aspects of most jobs. Well, the good news is that finding meaning and purpose is actually possible in any job, as long as we know how and where to look.

A lot of folks are just trying to survive right nowAnd I don't want to discount the importance of ensuring your own survival, your own safety, and the survival of those you care about.But I want you to know that you are built for MORE than that.You are built for more than just survivalYou are built for more than collecting a steady, “reliable” paycheck.You are built for contributionYou are built for growthMassive growth. Massive contributionYou are built to impact the lives of other people.

In this episode, we're going to dive into the ongoing struggle with how isolation and loneliness show up in the workplace. Less than 2-3 years ago, we dedicated an entire episode to discussing possible solutions to the common struggles associated with people being lonely in the workplace. Because of the extenuating circumstances of the COVID pandemic, it made a ton of sense to bring these lessons back to the forefront in a concise, consolidated format.

Do I truly want to become a manager?What do I need to know before I make my decision?What are the things no one tells you about management before you become one?How can I know whether or not I'll like it?These types of questions come up all the time from people I know who are debating whether to stay "technical" in whatever industry or discipline they're in, or whether to move into a management position.So in this episode, I'm answering some of the key questions that always come up whenever someone is weighing this decision. If you've ever thought about whether or not management is right for you, hopefully this episode will equip you with the information and the guidance you need to make the right decision.

I field a lot of questions from people about Leadership."How will I know when I'm ready for a leadership position?""What if I don't have a leadership title?""What if I get the opportunity to lead, but I don't know how to lead?"I think about this idea of "Leadership Readiness" ALL... THE... TIME. And after decades of experience and observation, I've come to a conclusion.Being a leader doesn't come down to titles, readiness, certifications, preparation, pedigree, or any of that. In the end, it comes down to just ONE key factor. And that's what this episode is all about.If you're enjoying the podcast, please let us know by leaving a rating!You can find everything related to this episode on the Rebase website at https://rebase.cc/38

How do you change careers? What's the right strategy, the proper approach, the winning tactics?Well, if you're this week's guest Reena Friedman Watts, it starts with one simple belief: "I could do that."All too often, it seems we are our own worst enemy. LImited beliefs, negative self-talk, and self-sabotage can be a very real thing. For Reena, though, the support she found from her dad propelled her into a mosaic career that can only be understood through hearing her story. She became a producer at Jerry Springer without even having a scheduled interview. She been a part of countless TV pilots and spent years in Hollywood on many successful shows like Nanny 911.She's worked corporate executive jobs, been involved with non-profits, has booked and promoted events for a veritable who's-who of Entertainment and Internet fame.And in her latest move, she's stepping out from behind the scenes with her own instant-smash-hit podcast "Better Call Daddy".You won't want to miss this conversation.Reena's podcast Better Call Daddy: http://bettercalldaddy.com/Better Call Daddy on Instagram @bettercalldaddypodcastConnect with Reena Friedman Watts: LinkedIn | Instagram | Twitter

In this shorter solo episode, I'm taking some of the questions people have been asking me about their job search. Find out why this disconnect exists between company needs and recruiter wants, how to overcome interview nervousness, and what questions candidates should be asking during interviews.

Is there a more rewarding feeling than knowing you are a part of a team that operates and performs at a high level? For my money, it's one of the absolute best feelings in the world.In this special episode, you're going to get to hear a recording I managed to dig up from a talk I was privileged enough to deliver at Austin Startup Week back in late 2018. And while the title of the talk is Engineering Excellence: Best Practices of High-Performing Teams, these principles extend far beyond the world of Software Engineering. In fact, they all apply in some shape or form to ALL teams, which is why I'm so thrilled to share it with you in this episode.Resources:Subscribe to my YouTube channelConnect with me on TwitterFollow me on Instagram

In the US alone, tens of millions of people suddenly find themselves unemployed. And a lot of people on both sides of the recruiting equation are coming to me with questions and complaints, whether they are trying to upgrade their recruiting efforts, or they're trying to figure out how to find a new job.And what you'll find in this episode is maybe not exactly what you'd expect. I'm not planning to give you exactly a list of instructions to follow that are going to guarantee that you're going to do find your next job.Instead, what I'd like to do is just provide some simple advice based on decades of experience. It may challenge the way you think about finding a job, forcing you to look at things a little bit differently. I will, however, also provide you with a few different actions that you can take and advice on how to focus your efforts. These things together will lead you to having a much more pleasant experience, while also finding better job opportunities in less time and with less overall effort.Resources:HBR: Asking For a Favor: The Three KeysNever Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi

In this episode, you’ll hear my conversation with the fantastic Krista Large, founder of Living Large Wellness.I know you’re going to have a ton of takeaways from this episode, and several potential shifts in your perspective on your career path and creating changes in your life.Some of the key moments & themes in our conversation includeKrista’s curiosity-powered mindset of “I’ll try it and see how it goes”Spending years feeling driven but lacking direction … not really sure where she wants to goWhat happened when she graduated college — you can almost feel the air being sucked out of the room — and how this experience brought back painful moments & feelings from her childhoodI’m convinced you’re going to appreciate and relate to Krista in a lot of ways… I for one appreciate her strength, vulnerability, and curiosity. And I know a lot of people can certainly relate to almost being sucked into the “trap” of following family members into the family business.While I am absolutely passionate about the health & wellness industry, one of the main reasons I wanted to chat with Krista on the show was due to her unconventional path to get to where she is now — a path complete with setbacks, struggles, self-doubt & self-esteem issues — all of which actually led to her unique approach to creating healthy transformations in others.Links:Follow Krista on Instagram @largekristaLiving Large Wellness

In this week's podcast episode, I'm very excited to have a conversation with somebody who I believe really embodies the very ideas of profession with purpose, for a number of reasons.CJ's path really embodies profession with purpose for a handful of reasons... and when I looked at his career history... he didn't come straight out of school, knowing exactly what it was he wanted to do. From what I can tell, he didn't have a path set. He didn't have a clear direction of exactly what he wanted to do.

Multi-time guest and long-time friend of the Rebase podcast Elatia Abate is back, and in this critically important episode we discuss how "The Future Of Work" is no longer some mythical thing coming sometime in the future. It's here, now, and ready or not it's time to prepare ourselves. In this episode, we'll talk about how the combination of the COVID-19 along with rapid technological innovation is changing not just the shape of industries, but the entire look, feel, and dynamics of the workforce. Elatia will then also guide us through the frameworks she uses and teaches to help anyone prepare for and navigate your way through the "new normal" of employment and making a living.

It is April 2020 and, in just 4 weeks time, 22 Million Americans suddenly find themselves unemployed. And there is a TON of uncertainty swirling about, and no doubt it is definitely warranted. And for many of us, this is not the first time in our professional lives where we've seen such a dramatic downturn in the economy, resulting in massive layoffs and entire businesses going under.So while we've never experienced this type of pandemic before, it's precisely because many people have experienced large scale recession that I wanted to connect those of you who are feeling uncertain with stories of growth, hope, and fulfillment.In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with someone I have a ton of respect for and consider a friend: Nick Hermandorfer.Nick is the Founder and CEO of Home Run Dugout, yet the reason I was so excited to talk with Nick is the journey he's taken to get to where he is now. Nick graduated from college at Princeton and spent a total of 6 weeks working at Lehman Brothers in Manhattan before the 2008 economic crisis cost him his job. What you'll hear in this episode is Nick telling the story of how he found himself unemployed, living in his parents' basement, trying to figure out what was next. You'll hear about how circumstances found him traveling to Austin, TX, where he went to work at a local startup that would coincidentally lead to starting his own company.So, if you're feeling worried, fearful, or just a little uncertain, I hope this conversation with Nick Hermandorfer will instill you with some hope, some optimism, and maybe even some ideas for how you can turn any crisis into an opportunity.Check out Home Run Dugout - https://www.homerundugout.comConnect with Nick on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/hermandorfer/

Is your unspoken definition of “culture fit” actually hurting your organization?In this episode, we’re going to break down what we often mean when we talk about someone being a “culture fit” (even at just a subconscious level), why your current approach could actually be hindering your growth & preventing success, and what you should be doing instead.You'll also learn the key distinction between someone "fitting in" versus "belonging", and why understanding that these two are complete OPPOSITES is critically important in your organization.-----YOU are the KEY to helping more people discover a "Profession With Purpose" by leaving us a review at https://RateThisPodcast.com/rebase.The more people we can reach with the podcast, the larger and more meaningful a impact we can make, and reviews are the lifeblood of podcast exposure.

In this episode, we're going to talk a little bit about meetings. Meetings are one of those things that, just by their nature, people think that they're inherently bad... and that if you have too many meetings it means that meetings are useless, and if you could have ZERO meetings then everything would be great. I'm here to tell you that, when it comes down to it, a belief like that is naive and idiotic. If you follow along in this episode, I'll go into the aspects of meetings -- in the execution, the intent, the desired outcomes -- where the REAL problems are that lead to meetings that you find to be boring, ineffective, and useless.

Outside of my business, where I work primarily with folks on the Employer side of things, I spend a lot of my outside time mentoring and guiding folks who are trying to either progress in their current career OR make a career shift.Sometimes that shift is a minor one, and sometimes it's a complete career change. Inevitably, by the time I'm talking with them they've reached a sticking point, or they're in a rut, or they're completely stuck and disenfranchised.And while everyone's situation is unique, I almost always here some version of the same few things.So in this episode, I wanted to get honest, get real, and bring what you might perceive as a little tough love. But I promise, it DOES come from a loving and caring place, even when it's difficult to hear.So tune in to get a little motivation and a little advice on what you NEED to do to make that progress in YOUR career.

Employee Turnover has become an epidemic.Every single year, Retention rates drop and Turnover seems to find a way to set a new record high.Companies finally seem to be taking notice, too, and implementing so-called "Employee Retention measures" to reduce the costs and pain associated with high turnover. But are these tactics really effective? One could easily argue that, by the time these companies admit they have a retention problem and finally take action to address the issue, much of the damage has already been done.In this episode, we'll go over a handful of strategies that, when implemented, are pretty much guaranteed to improve Employee Retention and reduce Turnover.

The Rebase Podcast is back after far too long a hiatus, and we're getting things going again in style with a 2-Part series on what really causes all the pain & frustration Employers feel around Recruiting the right people.All too often, when I speak with Companies about Hiring, the natural assumption is that the culprits responsible for their struggles are external factors.Here's the reality, though: Every company is playing the same game, with the same rules, and basically the same goals.
