Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning.   Paul Couch is the Creative Producer of PTC Stages. Over the course of a decades-long career in entertainment, Paul built a remarkable path through theme parks, concert venues, theater management, and higher education. Beginning as a singer inspired by live performance, he worked at parks including Kings Island, Opryland USA, and Dollywood while also helping lead entertainment operations at the historic Ryman Auditorium. Along the way, he produced concerts, managed festivals, developed theatrical productions, and later became an Assistant Professor at Middle Tennessee State University. In this interview, Paul talks about theme park career stories, entertainment as the human experience, and working with Dolly. Theme park career stories “Working at King's Island that summer was the best job of my life.” Paul shares a fascinating career journey that began with a desire to become a professional singer after being inspired by a live Neil Diamond album as a teenager. That passion eventually led him into the theme park industry when he was hired to perform at Kings Island, where he unexpectedly found himself immersed in country music and theme park entertainment. That experience introduced him to a larger world of live entertainment production and sparked his interest in building a career beyond performing alone. From there, Paul worked his way through Nashville's entertainment scene, balancing music industry jobs with carpentry work before deciding to pursue live show production full time. Networking played a critical role in helping him transition into management at Opryland, where he developed a reputation for getting things done and eventually became deeply involved in concerts, Halloween festivals, and large-scale entertainment operations. His career later expanded to the Ryman Auditorium, where he helped guide concerts and theatrical productions during a transformative period for downtown Nashville before ultimately joining Dollywood's entertainment leadership team. Entertainment as the human experience “Entertainment has a big footprint, not just as a business, but as part of the human experience.” Paul offers a thoughtful perspective on why entertainment matters so deeply within theme parks and beyond. He explains that gathering together for shared experiences is fundamentally part of being human, pointing to the ancient Greek Theater of Dionysus as evidence that people have always sought communal entertainment experiences. For Paul, theme parks are not simply offering rides and attractions. They are creating opportunities for emotional connection and collective experiences that guests actively crave. He also discusses the evolving role of technology in entertainment and how guest expectations continue to rise. Modern audiences expect sophisticated lighting, sound, video, and production value, and parks that successfully balance those advancements with manageable operating costs will be positioned well for the future. Paul believes entertainment remains essential because it fulfills something deeply rooted in human nature, which is why live concerts, productions, and immersive experiences continue to grow in popularity across the industry. Working with Dolly “She is the person that you hope she is.” When discussing his experience working with Dolly Parton, Paul describes her as authentic, professional, and deeply collaborative. He explains that while working with someone of Dolly's stature was initially intimidating, their relationship evolved over time into a friendship built on trust and mutual respect. He credits her with maintaining incredibly high standards for the entertainment experiences connected to her name while also remaining approachable and generous in the creative process. Paul also shares insight into their collaboration on Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol, a musical that premiered in Boston before touring internationally and across the United States. He emphasizes that Dolly values equal collaboration and genuinely wants to hear ideas from her creative partners. That openness, combined with her professionalism and kindness, helped create an environment where everyone involved could feel proud of the final product and invested in the work they created together.   Paul can be reached on LinkedIn, as well as by email at ptcstages@gmail.com.

Most people don't fail at sales because they're “bad at sales.” They fail because fear hijacks their brain at the exact moment they need clarity. That's why I loved talking with Maggie Pounds, co-founder of Salescoach Pro, an AI-powered sales training platform that helps sales reps practice real conversations before they ever get on the phone with a real customer. If you've ever frozen, rambled, or felt your heart rate spike during an objection, you'll recognize what she describes: even simulated role play can feel shockingly real, and that realism is what builds true confidence. Maggie shares her unconventional path from urban farming and farmers markets to building an AI product alongside her husband, plus how a simple Thanksgiving dinner conversation with her sister sparked the core idea. We get into what makes effective sales coaching work, why repeated reps matter more than generic advice, and how tailored feedback, scoring, and structured scenarios can improve onboarding and sales enablement without draining a manager's time. We also talk about the practical question everyone asks: why not just use ChatGPT, and what a purpose-built voice role play experience does differently. Beyond the product, Maggie brings a refreshing perspective on AI hype and fear, especially for people who worry they're “behind.” She argues for curiosity, moving slowly, and using technology as a tool to enhance human skill, not replace it. We close with a candid look at intentional living, homeschooling, presence, and giving yourself permission to pause projects in different life chapters, plus what “to be bolder” really means when you listen to yourself and take the next step. If this conversation helps you rethink confidence, sales practice, or building a business that supports your real life, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

In this week's episode of The Career Flipper, I'm joined by Lauren Tetenbaum, a former lawyer turned psychotherapist and author, who's made it her mission to help women navigate the big, messy transitions of life, from career pivots to motherhood to (yep) perimenopause.Lauren's story is one of courage, self-awareness, and trusting your gut when the path you're on just doesn't fit anymore. After years in the legal world, she decided to build a life that aligned with her values, one centered around supporting women and sparking honest conversations about topics we don't talk about enough, like menopause, mental health, and identity shifts.And let me tell you: this conversation could not have come at a better time for me personally. I'm in the early days of my own perimenopause journey, and honestly, no one really prepares you for it. Lauren's compassion, insight, and humor made me feel seen, and I think you'll feel that too.We get real about:✨ Walking away from careers that no longer fit✨ The identity shift that comes with major life transitions✨ How perimenopause impacts your work, energy, and relationships✨ The importance of saying no (without overexplaining)✨ Mental health, motherhood, and permission to pivot, at any ageIf you've ever found yourself wondering “Is it me, or is everything changing?”, this one's for you.Connect with LaurenBuy the book: https://thecounselaur.com/millennialmenopausebook/ Her website: https://thecounselaur.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecounselaur/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenatetenbaum/ Thanks for tuning in to The Career Flipper!If this episode made you think, laugh, or feel a little braver about your own flip, do me a favor:

When host Jenny Dempsey got laid off back in 2022, she had no clue what I was doing. She was crying on her couch, trying to figure out who she even was without my job. No one hands you a guide for that kind of loss. It honestly felt like the ground fell out from under her.And then along comes Steve Jaffe. Turns out, he literally wrote the book I wish I had back then: The Layoff Journey: From Dismissal to Discovery.Steve's been through four layoffs (yes, four!) and instead of letting it crush him, he mapped out the stages of grief that come with job loss. Reading his book brought up so many of my own memories, everything from the shock and shame to that messy process of rebuilding your identity. It made me cry, it gave me hope, and it reminded me I'm not alone.In this conversation with Steve, we talk about:Why losing a job takes you through the grieving process.The awkward shame we carry after a layoff, and how to drop it.Why slowing down to process before jumping into the job hunt can change everythingThe “baggage” you might unknowingly carry into your next role.And what you need to hear if you just got laid off yesterday.This one hit so close to home for me, and if you've ever been laid off, or even just wondered who you are without your job, I think it'll resonate with you too.Connect with SteveGrab Steve's book The Layoff Journey on Amazon: The Layoff JourneyLearn more at: thestevejaffe.comFollow Steve on Instagram: @stevejaffethelayoffjourneyConnect with Steve on LinkedIn: Steve Jaffe on LinkedIn Thanks for tuning in to The Career Flipper!If this episode made you think, laugh, or feel a little braver about your own flip, do me a favor:

This week, I got to chat with my friend Liz Dekofsky. She lives in LA, works full-time in a customer-facing job, and runs the coolest little side business curating thrifted style bundles.If you've ever walked into a thrift store and felt totally overwhelmed or just didn't have the energy to dig through the racks, Liz gets it. That's why she does the hunting for you, and her eye for finding great pieces is seriously next-level.But this episode goes deeper than just clothes.Liz recently got sober, and it's been a huge turning point in her life.

And Liz is proof that small steps can lead to big, beautiful changes.Let's get into it.Connect with Liz & buy a bundleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/curatedbylizd Thanks for tuning in to The Career Flipper!If this episode made you think, laugh, or feel a little braver about your own flip, do me a favor:

Welcome to a special solo episode of The Career Flipper Podcast! It's the podcastaversary!One year ago, I hit publish on the very first episode of this show, having no idea what I was doing and definitely not realizing how much it would change my life. What started in the messy aftermath of a 2022 layoff (and 400+ job rejections) became a permission slip to rebuild, to reimagine success, and to start over without a map.In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes of how this podcast came to be, how flipping furniture helped me flip my identity, and how conversations with guests like:Nick Musica, a former SEO guy turned animal psychicTrish Jasinski, who bought a chateau in the south of France and left corporate to open a retreat spaceCat Cheng, a former music teacher turned Netflix-featured baker (hi, tres leches dreams)And Case Sandberg, who I met at a farmer's market and learned had just left his software engineering job to become a chocolate maker…helped me feel less alone and more alive.Oh and I'm sharing a piece of my music. I wrote a song called Just Wait, about getting laid off, getting lost, and learning how to come back to yourself.Skip to 14:28 if you want to jump straight to the song.Whether you're in the middle of your own career flip, cocoon season, or identity unraveling, I hope this episode reminds you that you don't need permission from anyone else to change your life.You can give it to yourself.

Reshma Saujani's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and bold leadership. In this episode, we dive into her transformation from a lawyer with political ambitions to a social entrepreneur redefining what it means to lead with purpose. As the founder of Girls Who Code, Reshma has not only challenged the tech industry's gender norms but has also reimagined success through the lens of failure, identity, and intentional courage.Through candid reflections on her upbringing as the daughter of Indian refugees and her struggles with imposter syndrome, Reshma reveals how rejection became the catalyst for her most impactful work.

Welcome to this episode of Career Stories, where we dive into the remarkable life of Bessie Coleman, a true trailblazer in the world of aviation. Bessie's journey is nothing short of inspiring — from her humble beginnings in Texas to soaring through the skies as the first Black and Native American woman to earn a pilot's license. Despite facing significant obstacles rooted in both her race and gender, she refused to be confined by societal limitations and instead flew beyond them, breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations.In this episode, we explore how Bessie's unwavering determination took her across the Atlantic to train in France after being rejected in the United States. Her story is a powerful testament to perseverance and grit — she became a sensation in the U.S., refusing to participate in segregated events and advocating for equality in aviation. Her vision extended beyond her own achievements, as she aspired to open a flight school to empower Black aviators and inspire others to pursue their dreams regardless of societal restrictions.Bessie's legacy endures today, reminding us that rejection and adversity are often just detours on the road to success. Her courageous stand against discrimination, her relentless pursuit of her passion, and her ability to transform setbacks into opportunities continue to inspire countless individuals. Join us as we celebrate her story and uncover the lessons it offers about resilience, self-belief, and the importance of choosing oneself against all odds.---------------Update your Resume & LinkedIn Profile:Schedule a 15-minute call with Mary: https://calendly.com/resumeassassin/meet1:1 with Mary: www.resumeassassin.comAI-Enhanced: www.resumesidekick.io---------------Connect with Mary: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-southern/

Welcome back to Resume Assassin's summer series, Career Stories, where we explore the inspiring lives of hidden figures and quiet disruptors who have made a lasting impact on the world. In this episode, we shine a spotlight on Emily Warren Roebling, a woman whose quiet resilience and brilliance literally changed the New York City skyline. Despite never holding an official title or formal engineering degree, Emily stepped into a role of monumental importance, demonstrating leadership, determination, and ingenuity in a heavily male-dominated field.Her story begins in the quaint town of Cold Spring, New York, where her education and upbringing fostered a curious and ambitious mind. From her early days, Emily showed she was not content to sit on the sidelines—her love for learning and her resilience would set the stage for her remarkable contributions. When tragedy struck her family during the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, Emily's role evolved from supportive wife to de facto chief engineer, all while navigating societal expectations that would have otherwise dismissed her from such a pivotal role.Today, Emily Roebling's legacy is a testament to the power of perseverance, resourcefulness, and courage, especially for women breaking barriers long before the concept of women's empowerment gained mainstream traction. Her story reminds us that sometimes leadership looks like quietly carrying the weight when no one else is willing, and that true influence often happens behind the scenes. So stay tuned as we dive deeper into Emily's inspiring journey, and explore what her story can teach us about resilience, advocacy, and making a lasting impact, no matter the circumstances.---------------Update your Resume & LinkedIn Profile:Schedule a 15-minute call with Mary: https://calendly.com/resumeassassin/meet1:1 with Mary: www.resumeassassin.comAI-Enhanced: www.resumesidekick.io---------------Connect with Mary: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-southern/

Welcome to another episode of Career Stories—where we spotlight extraordinary lives that often go unnoticed. In today's episode, we're diving into the fascinating journey of Dr. Harold Malmgren, a name that may not ring immediate bells but whose fingerprints are all over major moments in American history. From the hardships of the Great Depression to the corridors of power in Washington, Malmgren's story is one of quiet influence and remarkable insight.Dr. Malmgren served as a trusted advisor to four U.S. presidents, shaping national and global economic policy during some of the 20th century's most turbulent times—including the Cold War. In this conversation, we explore how his early experiences fueled a lifelong commitment to strategic problem-solving and diplomacy. His unconventional beliefs often set him apart, yet they also earned him a unique kind of respect in circles where conformity was the norm.Whether you're fascinated by history, intrigued by behind-the-scenes power players, or simply love a good story of resilience and purpose, this episode offers rich perspective. Tune in to hear how Dr. Malmgren's voice helped steer the nation through defining moments—and what his career can teach us about navigating complexity with courage and clarity.---------------Update your Resume & LinkedIn Profile:Schedule a 15-minute call with Mary: https://calendly.com/resumeassassin/meet1:1 with Mary: www.resumeassassin.comAI-Enhanced: www.resumesidekick.io---------------Connect with Mary: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-southern/

Sometimes a joke turns into a new life.Trish Jasinski had built a fulfilling, decades-long career in corporate marketing—and she really loved it. But during the pandemic, while working remotely from a very tiny Paris apartment, she started joking with friends that châteaux in the countryside were cheaper than her shoebox of a flat.Just for fun—and with zero plans to actually buy—she went château shopping.And then it happened. She stepped into Château de Gère, a 14th-century stone fortress tucked into the Vallée d'Ossau, and something inside her said, “This is it.”So she did the unthinkable: she bought it. With no plan. Just heart.Now, Trish lives in a quiet French village where sheep outnumber people, and she's turned the château into a beautiful retreat and event space. She's taken everything she learned from her corporate years and poured it into this new life—this wild, magical, entirely unexpected next chapter.In this episode, we talk about:Following a totally unserious whim that changed everythingWhy “no plan” doesn't mean “no purpose”Using your past experience in completely new waysListening to your intuition (even when it makes zero sense)Creating a life that's slower, sweeter, and more youConnect with TrishBook a stay at Château de Gère: https://chateaudegere.com/Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chateaudegere/  Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

In this episode, I take a closer look at one of the most complex and controversial public figures of our time—Donald Trump. But instead of getting political, I trace the story of his career from his early days in Queens to his rise as a real estate mogul and cultural brand. It's a journey filled with bold decisions, high-stakes bets, and constant reinvention—and it offers surprising lessons for anyone thinking about personal branding and visibility.As I unpack Trump's path, I focus on how he used storytelling and self-promotion to build a persona that could withstand failure. Behind the headlines and bravado is a man whose success was never linear. His life was shaped by competition, risk, and a relentless need to be seen. And while I don't admire everything he's done, I think there's value in examining how he crafted a public identity that has outlived many of the businesses attached to it.If you've ever struggled with visibility or felt unsure about how to bounce back from failure, I hope this episode gives you something to think about. There's power in rewriting your story—and in this conversation, I explore what it really means to own your narrative, even when things get messy.---------------Update your Resume & LinkedIn Profile:Schedule a 15-minute call with Mary: https://calendly.com/resumeassassin/meet1:1 with Mary: www.resumeassassin.comAI-Enhanced: www.resumesidekick.io---------------Connect with Mary: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-southern/

In today's episode of Resume Assassin's Career Stories, we're spotlighting a name that should've been in the headlines decades ago—Katherine Johnson. A brilliant mathematician, a Black woman in science long before it was “acceptable,” and the mind behind some of NASA's most historic missions, Katherine helped shape space exploration as we know it. Her calculations weren't just impressive—they were the difference between life and death for astronauts on missions like Apollo 11 and Apollo 13.We take you back to the smoky control rooms of the 1960s, where every number had to be perfect and the stakes were literally out of this world. But while astronauts were being hailed as heroes, Katherine's name stayed out of the spotlight. She worked in the background, asking the hard questions, pushing into spaces she wasn't invited, and proving again and again that excellence can't be ignored forever.Katherine's legacy is more than just numbers. It's a reminder that your impact isn't always visible right away—and that being behind the scenes doesn't mean you're not leading the mission. If you've ever felt like the hidden figure in your own story, this episode is for you.---------------Update your Resume & LinkedIn Profile:Schedule a 15-minute call with Mary: https://calendly.com/resumeassassin/meet1:1 with Mary: www.resumeassassin.comAI-Enhanced: www.resumesidekick.io---------------Connect with Mary: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-southern/
