What if you could design a career that gave you flexibility for your family, fulfillment in your work, and the freedom to follow your passions? That's exactly what Elyse Sheeler did when she created her private practice, Speaking Life: Speech Therapy and Wellness, in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin.Elyse is a speech-language pathologist who began her career in skilled nursing, inspired by her grandmother's journey with Alzheimer's. After years of working across medical, outpatient, and school settings, she started to crave more control over her time and the freedom to integrate her interests — particularly wellness and Myofunctional therapy into her work.When Elyse became a mom, her priorities shifted. Between long IEP meetings, school schedules, and a growing family, she began questioning if she could maintain her demanding school SLP job while being fully present at home.Her turning point came after her son's experience with a tongue-tie — a moment that ignited her passion for myofunctional therapy and holistic family wellness. Realizing how few local providers addressed these needs, she decided to build a practice where she could offer the kind of care she wished she'd had for her own family.Starting small, Elyse launched Speaking Life while still working part-time in the schools. One referral led to another, and soon she was running her own practice full-time. With support from the Start and Grow Your Private Practice Programs, she created systems, clarified her mission, and built a business that reflected both her values and her lifestyle.In this episode, we talk about how Elyse serves children and families through Speaking Life: Speech Therapy and Wellness, integrating speech-language pathology, Myofunctional therapy, and family wellness education. She also hosts the podcast Speaking Life into Motherhood, where she helps other moms find balance and purpose through mindful living and holistic health.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Transitioned from full-time school SLP to private practice ownerFound her niche in Myofunctional therapy and holistic wellnessCreated a lifestyle practice that supports both her family and her purposeElyse's story is a reminder that private practice isn't just about leaving a job—it's about designing a life. By following her instincts, defining her “why,” and building a mission-centered practice, she created the freedom to be both the mom and clinician she always wanted to be.Want to build a private practice that gives you freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment—just like Elyse has?

Welcome to episode #1010 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). What if the search for our "true selves" has been leading us away from who we actually need to become? That's the tension at the heart of Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic's work, a globally respected authority on people analytics, talent, leadership, and the Human–AI interface whose career spans ManpowerGroup, Deeper Signals, Meta Profiling, Columbia University, UCL, and decades of research that have shaped how organizations understand human behavior. His latest book, Don't Be Yourself: Why Authenticity Is Overrated (And What To Do Instead), challenges one of the most cherished modern beliefs - that success comes from projecting our raw, unfiltered selves - and instead argues that adaptability, reputational awareness, and a more evidence-based approach to identity lead to better outcomes for individuals, teams, and societies. He is also the author of Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?, I, Human, The Talent Delusion, and many others. In this conversation, we unpack how hyper-normalized ideas take root, why celebrity culture distorts our sense of what authenticity looks like, and how social media has gamified identity into a curated performance that misleads both the performer and the audience. He explains why leaders must balance sincerity with impression management, how hybrid work and return-to-office debates reveal deeper anxieties about trust and presence, and why intellectual curiosity may be the antidote to polarization in an era where algorithms reward tribalism. The discussion also explores the limits of self-perception, the psychology of reputation, the dangers of treating outliers as role models, and the pivotal role AI may play in counteracting human bias. Ultimately, Tomas argues that authenticity without responsibility collapses into narcissism, and that a more thoughtful, flexible, and socially attuned version of ourselves is not only possible, but necessary.

Robinson delves into the science behind this phenomenon, the historical applications in art, and the potential innovative uses in modern technology like optoelectronics. She also addresses common myths about the safety of spalted wood in kitchen applications, the toxicity of wood dust, and the importance of selecting appropriate wood species for food-related uses. The episode concludes with Dr. Robinson sharing resources for further learning and her favorite tool and tree species.

Anky Cyriaque, a filmmaker originally from Haiti who grew up in New York, brings a unique perspective to the cinema industry, deeply rooted in his belief that storytelling reigns supreme. Influenced by early childhood experiences with American TV shows like Sesame Street, Cyriaque emphasizes that "story is king," a philosophy he upholds in his directorial pursuits. He expresses concern over the cinema industry's current trajectory, where financial considerations often overshadow the narrative, diminishing the traditional theatrical experience and leading to what he views as a decline in storytelling quality. Cyriaque also critiques the rapid shift from theatrical releases to video on demand, arguing that this quick transition erodes the value of the cinematic experience, urging a return to prioritizing engaging narratives that captivate audiences.(00:02:45) Short Films: Directors' Personal Storytelling Investments(00:05:57) Film Influence on Career Paths(00:10:23) "Showcasing Director's Storytelling Skills Through Shorts"(00:19:11) Streaming Services' Influence on Independent Filmmakers' Visibility(00:29:34) Dynamic Landscape of Modern Visual Narratives(00:34:52) Media Consumption Shift: Streaming vs. Physical Ownership(00:44:02) Influencer-Driven Marketing in Movie Promotion(00:47:01) Evolution of Independent Film Distribution Strategies(00:52:19) Spielberg's Influence on Film Appreciationhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm3977697/

This episode originally aired on April 5, 2021 (Episode 240), and I'm bringing it back because so many of you said it gave you the clarity you didn't know you needed. If you're feeling stuck in your career or wondering whether there's something more fulfilling out there for you, this conversation is worth revisiting. So many people come to me at a professional crossroads. On paper, things look fine — good job, steady paycheck — but inside, they're wrestling with harder questions: Is this what I'm meant to be doing? Where's the meaning? And what would it actually look like to feel passionate about my work? Finding your passion isn't about flipping a switch. It's about understanding how you got here, untangling what's yours from what you were told to want, and designing a career that aligns with who you are now. In this episode, we're talking about how to get unstuck, how to reflect with purpose, and how to move forward, even when it feels like there are a thousand possible directions and no clear right answer.

This week, in episode 266, David C. Barnett, Jay Goltz, and Kate Morgan wrestle with one of the trickiest challenges for business owners: how to give employees room to grow without losing sight of the company's mission. David points out that every business is on its way to obsolescence unless it deliberately evolves—and one way to do that, he says, is by letting employees experiment and try new things. That approach, Jay says, is exactly what led to his building a furniture business. Plus: Kate and Jay agree that while many aspects of running a business can be stressful, nothing has been more stressful for them than the period when their businesses were growing the fastest. And the owners react to a Reddit post from someone who has found that hiring employees has created more problems than it has solved. “Is this just what having employees is like?” the owner writes. “Please tell me I'm not the only one losing my mind.”

In Episode 1, “Leadership ladder: Creating your path” of the series “Women in Urology – Dare to Thrive”, Dr. Amelia Pietropaolo (GB) and Prof. Maria Ribal (ES) discuss the challenges and opportunities of pursuing leadership in a traditionally male-dominated specialty. Drawing on their personal journeys, they reflect on the persistence of gender stereotypes, the experience of imposter syndrome, and the importance of building confidence through knowledge, hard work, and supportive networks.Their conversation emphasises that leadership is not about following a rigid master plan but about vision, long-term investment, and trust in one's capabilities. Both speakers highlight the transformative role of mentorship and sponsorship, the value of inclusive groups in attracting more women into urology, and the importance of respecting individuality rather than conforming to stereotypes. Practical advice for young urologists includes taking small steps, embracing networking opportunities, and being unafraid to volunteer or step outside of one's comfort zone.For more EAU podcasts, please go to your favourite podcast app and subscribe to our podcast channel for regular updates: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, EAU YouTube channel.

Today, I am interviewing someone I look up to in business, Kym Insana. As you will hear, Kym not only is a wife and mom to 4 boys (wow, I know!), but she has also built a very successful marketing media execution business. Kym's mantra is “You can work hard, have career success, and the family life you desire.” As soon as I heard that, I was like, “Tell me more, Kym!” Who doesn't want to have career success and the personal lives we desire?During today's podcast, Kym and I chatted about: Why Kym decided to build her multi-million-dollar business, AlwaysOn Digital.Why Kym is passionate about working parents.Kym's advice for women who want a high-powered career and life.How Kym manages her teams – both in-person and remote.Digital marketing and media, of course! I had to talk about this since I am also a marketing nerd.And more!Here is more about Kym:Kym Insana is a multimillion-dollar business owner, digital marketing expert, wife, and mother of four boys. As the founder of AlwaysOn Digital, she helps leading brands reach the masses through dynamic digital campaigns that generate consumer interaction and sales so they can scale. Top brands lean on Kym's expertise, including the US Air Force, American, Enfamil, the Texas Rangers, and Johnston and Murphy.Kym jumped into the digital marketing world before it became part of the modern fabric for business growth. For more than 20 years, she's led sales and digital campaigns for top advertising agencies in New York City. But dealing with a two-hour commute while growing her family proved to be a turning point. She felt compelled to start a business and gain her time back. The yearning for freedom quickly outweighed the desire for a corporate career.At the same time, Kym noticed other successful women quitting the workforce for similar reasons. That prompted her to ask herself, ‘What if I could build a business that fit these talented women and their ideal work schedules — while still providing them with a career?'In 2016, AlwaysOn Digital was born.
