Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!Career Reinvention, Retirement and Building a Richer Life with Hannah MartinWhat does it really mean to prepare for retirement? For many women, especially mid-career professionals, retirement planning is often reduced to one question: “Will I have enough money?” Yet, as Hannah Martin explains in this thoughtful conversation, a fulfilling later life requires more than financial security. It also calls for purpose, community, health, independence and a clear sense of what comes next.In episode 282 of Your Career Podcast, Jane Jackson reconnects with Hannah Martin, founder of Talented Ladies Club and Rich Retiree, seven years after their last conversation. Hannah and I chatted in episodes 19 and 101. Hannah shares how her work supporting ambitious mothers returning to the workforce evolved into a new mission: helping women prepare for retirement in a way that is practical, empowering and deeply human.Jane and Hannah discuss the unique career and financial challenges many women face, including career breaks, lower pension or superannuation balances, caring responsibilities, and the implications of, unfortunately, a divorce. Confidence dips after time out of the workforce, and the long-term impact of the gender pay gap.They also explore why career reinvention does not stop at midlife. Whether you are facing redundancy, considering a career change, preparing for retirement, or wondering how to create more meaning in your next chapter, this conversation offers a reassuring reminder that it is never too late to make considered, confident choices.In this episode, we discuss:Why retirement planning must go beyond moneyThe four pillars of a rich retirement: finance, health, community and purposeHow career breaks can affect confidence, savings and long-term financial independenceWhy women often face different retirement challenges from menThe importance of community, contribution and meaningful activity as we ageHow mid-career professionals can begin planning their next chapter before they are forced toWhy career clarity matters at every stage of lifeHow cultural attitudes towards ageing can affect confidence, wellbeing and possibilityThe value of wisdom, lived experience and intergenerational connectionKey takeawayA rich retirement is not only about what you have saved. It is also about the life you are building.For mid-career professionals, this episode is a timely reminder to pause, reflect and ask: “What do I want the next chapter of my life and career to feel like?” Whether you are navigating redundancy, exploring a career change, rebuilding confidence, or preparing for a new stage of life, clarity is the first step towards making wise and grounded decisions.Resource mentioned:YouTube video when Jane visited Hannah in Worthing, UK - showing how genuine networking turns into genuine connections, taking the online connection offline to meet in person.  Watch here: https://youtu.be/hN_dAzQ30uo?si=PxSphzC7KI_psFsE About Hannah MartinHannah Martin is the founder of Talented Ladies Club, created in 2013 to support ambitious mothers returning to work and building careers or businesses that fit their lives.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Teachers in Transition, Vanessa explores how the books we loved when we were young helped shape what we notice, value, question, and carry into adulthood AND how our own stories  can help us write a better resume.From Erma Bombeck and Agatha Christie's Miss Marple to Nancy Drew, The Boxcar Children, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games, Divergent, and more, this episode looks at the “childhood bookshelf” as more than nostalgia. Those early stories may have taught us how to solve problems, recognize patterns, seek belonging, survive broken systems, resist being reduced to one role, and remember who we were before burnout took over.Vanessa also talks about reading with children and teens, the difference between censorship and conversation, and why the books young people choose can give us clues about what they are trying to understand.In the Career Transition and Job Search segment, Vanessa moves into resume basics for teachers leaving the classroom. She explains why a modern resume is not your whole life story, why skills should be shown through evidence-rich bullet points instead of a disconnected skills section, and how teachers can begin turning real classroom stories into quantifiable resume accomplishments.You'll also hear about the “Everything Resume” — a master resume template that holds your stories, accomplishments, projects, leadership roles, certifications, data stories, communication wins, and more — so you have raw material ready when it is time to tailor a resume for a specific job posting.Episode highlights:Why childhood books may still hold clues about who we areHow Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z reading experiences shaped different kinds of courageWhy “stories matter” does not mean censorship is the answerHow rereading old favorites can help reconnect us with ourselvesWhy teachers need targeted resumes, not one perfect resume for every jobHow to turn teaching stories into resume bullet pointsWhy quantifiable resume metrics matterWhat an Everything Resume is and why teachers should build oneHow SCOUT helps Vanessa's clients explore career direction and translate teaching experienceMentioned in this episode:Erma Bombeck — Aunt Erma's Cope Book and other humor collections Carolyn Keene — Nancy Drew series Franklin W.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Todd Kroupa A former firefighter turned top-producing real estate agent in Georgia. Todd explains his journey from a physically demanding fire department career to becoming a highly successful real estate broker, team leader, and luxury/equestrian property specialist. The conversation walks through: His transition from the fire service to real estate Opening and managing a 400‑agent office in Florida Relocating to Georgia and re-establishing his business How he advises both first-time homebuyers and experienced sellers Emotional decision-making in buying and selling Inspections, deal-breakers, and buyer/seller behavior Multi-generational housing trends post‑COVID Why real estate remains a wealth-building tool Advice for navigating neighborhoods, schools, and due diligence His eventual ranking as #1 single agent for Berkshire Hathaway in Georgia (2024–2025) Todd emphasizes integrity, long-term relationships, and guiding clients toward the right house — not just closing a deal. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Todd Kroupa’s appearance is to: Share a motivational career-change story — moving from firefighter to top real estate agent. Educate listeners on the real estate process — including buying, selling, inspections, and market strategy. Give practical tips for first-time homebuyers, families, and multi-generational households. Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7. Multi-Generational Living Is Rising Driven by COVID, high child-care costs, rising home prices. Families are choosing: ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) “In-law suites” Larger family compounds 8. Real Estate as a Wealth Builder Unlike stock investments, real estate allows you to: Control, improve, alter, and live in the asset. Tax advantages like 1031 exchanges and mortgage deductions compound long-term value. 9. Don’t Buy the Most Expensive House in the Neighborhood Surrounding homes cap your resale value. You may have to wait years for nearby homes to “catch up.” 10. Neighborhood Due Diligence Realtors must avoid discrimination (Fair Housing Act). Buyers should: Visit neighborhoods at night and on weekends Speak with neighbors Review school ratings and county resources Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Career & Purpose “I love helping people. That’s why I became a fireman. Real estate was another way to help people.” “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to manage long term… my heart was with clients.” Ethics & Commission “Commissions should never be above the people.” “If you’re focused on commissions, you need to pick a different industry.” Emotions in Home Buying “Buyers think they’re looking logically, but they’re looking emotionally first.” “Within the first 3–5 minutes, they already know if they like the home.” Inspections “If you’re not comfortable with the property now, you won’t be comfortable after you close.” Neighborhood Choice “Focus on the house, but look at the neighborhood — you can’t change your neighbors.” Wealth Building “With stocks you can’t control it, improve it, or live in it. With a home, you can.” Success & Determination “Someone told me when I moved to Georgia I wasn’t going to make it. Now I’m the number one salesperson in Georgia.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this inspiring episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison sits down with entrepreneur, peak performance coach, and Relaunch creator Hilary DeCesare to explore what happens when life calls you into your next evolution.

A dead local meetup group attracted just 5 people to its first gathering at a brewery. Two years later, that same group draws 70+ attendees to structured educational sessions, with newcomers driving across multiple states to participate. The transformation reveals something most personal finance education gets fundamentally wrong. Introduction and St. Louis Group Overview [00:00:00] Jonathan and Brad welcome Kristen Knapp and Allen Hansen to discuss how the St. Louis ChooseFI group became one of the most thriving communities in the country. Rebooting a Dormant Community [00:08:30] Kristen shares how she transformed a dormant St. Louis group after attending Camp FI, starting with brewery meetups and evolving to structured case studies that dramatically increased engagement. The Genesis of FI 101 [00:15:45] The hosts discuss how new members needed basic FI education, leading to the creation of a structured FI 101 program that attracted 70+ attendees and continues to grow. Kristen's Journey to Part-Time Work [00:22:10] Kristen shares her 30-year broadcast meteorology career and how the FI community gave her the confidence to negotiate a part-time arrangement, creating space for her FI Friends Travel venture. Allen's Perspective on Giving Back [00:31:20] Allen discusses his motivation to help others after reaching FI himself, emphasizing that anyone can make mistakes and still succeed on the path to financial independence. Structuring FI 101 Content [00:38:00] The group breaks down the essential components of FI 101: defining financial independence, the shockingly simple math of early retirement, and the financial order of operations. The Importance of Your Why [00:45:30] Jonathan proposes that understanding your personal why for FI should be the foundation of any FI 101 program, making it more compelling than traditional personal finance education. Investment Fees and Opportunity Cost [00:52:15] Brad delivers a detailed breakdown of how investment fees can cost millions over a lifetime, using concrete examples to illustrate the importance of low-cost index funds like VTI. Action Items and Next Steps [01:05:40] Allen outlines the two critical action items for FI 101 attendees: tracking net worth and monitoring spending, while the group discusses cadence for ongoing educational sessions. Preview of FI 201 and Future Plans [01:12:00] The hosts wrap up by discussing plans for a second episode covering FI 201 content and how local groups can iterate and improve their educational programming. Notable Quotes "I created what I wished existed. Nobody else is going to do it. Why not me?" — Kristen Knapp "After fifteen years of marriage, we finally hit broke. I think that resonates with people. We did it all wrong with credit card debt, you name it." — Allen Hansen "You can't save your way to FI. It's just almost impossible. You have to invest those dollars." — Allen Hansen "FI is not this passive endeavor and FI is not just about the nuts and bolts of money. This is about a constantly evolving mental framework." — Brad Barrett "Being around other people on the same path is one hundred percent the reason I've been able to create this life, because I would have never even had the idea or the courage to do any of this." — Kristen Knapp Key Takeaways Your savings rate matters more than your income. Someone earning $50,000 and saving 50% will reach FI faster than someone earning $150,000 but saving only 10%. Investment fees compound negatively. A 1% advisor fee plus 1% fund fees can reduce a potential $7.2 million portfolio to just $3.9 million over 40 years. Your FI number is calculated by multiplying annual expenses by 25, based on the 4% safe withdrawal rule. Understanding your personal "why" for pursuing FI is more compelling than traditional budgeting advice and provides the motivation needed for long-term success. Community makes the difference. Local FI groups provide accountability, education, and the courage to make life-changing decis…

Have you ever stood in the middle of a life that looks really good on paper and still felt like something was off? Like a quiet voice whispering, this isn't it anymore...and you didn't know what to do with that? This week on the Found Podcast, I'm bringing you a conversation with my own coach, Katrina Klooster, and I think this one is going to land somewhere deep for a lot of you. Katrina is a life and leadership coach who specializes in helping high-achieving women navigate transitions, those in-between seasons when you've outgrown where you are but aren't sure where you're going. After nearly 15 years in education (as a high school Spanish teacher and instructional coach), Katrina followed her own winding, messy, non-linear path into building a coaching practice, and she brings all of that lived experience to the women she now serves. In this episode, we talk about: The moment Katrina knew she had outgrown teaching and why it took her so long to trust that feeling Burnout, shingles, and the culture of self-sacrifice we've normalized in education (and beyond) Why your non-linear path is not something to apologize for The 37-38-year-old awakening many women experience and what's actually happening beneath the surface How high-achieving women get stuck in golden handcuffs and what it takes to break free Why most women aren't afraid of failure...and what they're actually afraid of instead The grief that's woven into growth (and why we don't talk about it enough) What Katrina looks for in a coach and how to know if coaching is right for you Connect with Katrina: Website: katrinaklooster.com Instagram: @katrinaklooster (send her a DM!)

Send us Fan MailThis week on Teachers in Transition, Vanessa Jackson explores the warning signs teachers learn to ignore — in our bodies, our stress levels, and our careers.What started as a routine dental cleaning turned into an unexpected root canal… and a much bigger realization about burnout, chronic stress, and how educators become experts at functioning while damaged. Vanessa shares the surprising moment her Garmin stress watch revealed that her body had been “keeping score” long before she consciously realized something was wrong.Then in the Career Transition & Job Search segment, Vanessa tackles a major modern job-search question:Do resumes still matter in the age of AI?Short answer: Yes.  But differently.In this episode:Why resumes still matter in an AI-driven job market How Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) filter resumes Why tailoring your resume matters more than ever How to use AI strategically without sounding fake Why LinkedIn is better for networking than passive “Easy Apply” applications The powerful framework: “The job description is the question. Your resume is the answer.” This episode is part burnout conversation, part career strategy session, and part reminder that functioning is not the same thing as fine.Mentioned in This EpisodeTeachers in Transition Schedule a Discovery Call Find Your Bearings  Helpful Prompt: “Use this job description and tailor my master resume to meet this job description.

Olympian Cynthia Appiah joins Stephanie Mitton for an honest conversation about disappointment, resilience, reinvention and what happens when the thing you worked for does not go the way you hoped. After nearly walking away from bobsleigh following the 2018 Olympics, Cynthia chose a different path. She moved into the driver's seat, rebuilt her career as a pilot and went on to represent Canada on the Olympic stage. In this episode, Cynthia reflects on identity beyond achievement, navigating pressure, confronting racial bias in sport, rebuilding confidence and learning how to begin again on her own terms. She also shares the story behind her favourite motto: “Every storm eventually runs out of rain.” This episode covers: What life actually looks like after the Olympics How Cynthia rebuilt her career after almost quitting bobsleigh The difference between giving up and beginning again differently Leadership, trust and creating healthy team culture Why your support system matters during hard seasons The emotional impact of being overlooked despite strong results Why your identity cannot depend on one title, season or outcome Cynthia's story is about much more than elite sport. It is a reminder that setbacks can become turning points, that starting over does not mean starting from nothing and that resilience is often built one decision at a time. https://www.patreon.com/womendontdothat Instagram - http://www.instagram.com/womendontdothat/ TikTok- http://www.tiktok.com/@womendontdothat Blog- https://www.womendontdothat.com/blog Podcast- https://www.womendontdothat.com/podcast Newsletter- https://www.beaconnorthstrategies.com/contactwww.womendontdothat.com YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@WOMENdontDOthat How to find Stephanie Mitton: Twitter/X- https://twitter.com/StephanieMitton LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemitton/ beaconnorthstrategies.com TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@stephmitton Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemitton/ Interested in sponsorship?

Careers in technology change as professionals move into their 40s and 50s. Early in a tech career, rapid change feels exciting. New tools, companies, and opportunities create momentum. Over time that same pace can begin to feel heavy. Many professionals start asking different questions. They wonder how long their skills will stay valuable, whether companies will continue to seek their experience, and what happens financially if their career path becomes less predictable. We explain that most of these concerns are not panic. Instead they reflect awareness of how quickly the tech industry evolves. People working in technology understand change better than most, because they help create it. Financial planning helps turn that uncertainty into flexibility. When finances are strong and organized, career changes become something to manage rather than something threatening. We start by discussing the importance of understanding real spending. Many people track their savings but have not translated those savings into the cost of living their current lifestyle. We talk about separating fixed expenses such as housing and insurance from flexible spending like travel and lifestyle upgrades. Once those numbers are clear, financial scenarios become possible. We can evaluate what happens if someone works until age 60, if income drops earlier, or if someone transitions into consulting or advisory work. We also explore how tech compensation often peaks earlier than in other industries. Many professionals reach their highest earning years in their late 30s or 40s. That means the window for building wealth is compressed. These years become critical for maximizing retirement contributions and building taxable investments. Without a plan, rising income can lead to rising expenses and long term financial commitments that reduce flexibility later. Equity compensation is another major topic. Stock grants, options, and employee stock purchase plans can become powerful wealth builders. However they also introduce concentration risk because income, career stability, and investments may all depend on the same company. Diversifying over time becomes an important part of reducing that risk. Yes, we also address the role of artificial intelligence in shaping tech careers. Historically, new technology changes work more than it eliminates it. Skills like judgment, leadership, and communication often become more valuable as automation increases. Financial planning therefore focuses on building resilience through strong savings, diversified investments, and liquidity that supports career transitions. Finally we discuss the emotional side of mid career decisions. Many professionals feel trapped by high salaries and demanding roles. With proper planning, people often discover they need less peak income than they assumed. Their investments may already support future goals. That realization can create options such as consulting, semi retirement, or less stressful roles. Financial planning ultimately helps people see the full picture and build flexibility for the many stages of life.

Confidence, clarity, and speaking when it matters.Confident communication isn't about being the loudest in the room. For Susie Wolff, it's about displaying assurance before you even open your mouth.Wolff is a former professional race car driver, managing director of F1 Academy, and author of Driven. Throughout her career in one of the world's most male-dominated industries, she's learned that confidence starts within. “If you want others to believe in you, you need to at least have confidence in your own abilities,” she says. By letting her capabilities speak for themselves, Wolff felt she didn't have to. “I was never the loudest voice in the room. But I made sure when I did speak that I really had something to say.”In this special episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, co-hosted by Matt Abrahams and Tiggy Valen, Wolff shares how inner drive creates outer clarity. From delivering hard truths with empathy to achieving buy-in for a bold vision, Wolff offers lessons on communicating with confidence, even in the face of stiff competition.Episode Reference Links:Susie WolffSusie's Book: DrivenTiggy ValenPaddock ProjectEp.235 Refine, Reframe, Repeat: Make Your Communication a Slam Dunk  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:06) - Early Motorsport Passion (04:01) - Finding Your Voice (05:33) - Building Confidence (06:28) - Becoming a Leader (08:48) - Cross-Cultural Communication (09:57) - Building F1 Academy (14:20) - Giving Tough Feedback (17:32) - Embracing Discomfort (20:01) - The Final Three Questions (26:18) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Most businesses don't start with a perfect idea they start with a problem that can't be ignored. In this episode, Santiago Galvez, founder of Pet Cultures, shares how a personal challenge saving his dog after a severe health issue turned into a fast-growing international brand. After trying dozens of products that didn't work, Santiago realized something deeper: the market was filled with solutions that sounded good but failed in execution. Leveraging his background with major CPG companies like Procter & Gamble and PepsiCo, he partnered with a chemist to create a better formulation one rooted in effectiveness, not marketing. But what makes this conversation powerful isn't just the product it's the strategy behind the growth. From understanding consumer psychology to expanding internationally, Santiago breaks down how different markets think, buy, and adopt products. For entrepreneurs, this episode highlights a critical truth: the best businesses don't chase trends they solve real problems better than anyone else.

#224 - Business advice usually starts with scaling, margins, and “hustle.” This conversation starts somewhere more honest: what is business for, and who does it actually serve?We sit down with Edi Odura, an engineer turned entrepreneur and fractional COO who helps mission-driven founders build systems that don't burn people out. Edi shares how growing up Ghanaian American shaped her relationship with security and risk, why operations is really about protecting the human side of a company, and what changes when you stop treating process like paperwork and start treating it like leadership. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your own growth, you'll recognize the moment when a great product outpaces the systems meant to support it.Edi also walks us through the bridge she's building between Ghana and the US by placing vetted Ghanaian virtual professionals with founders stateside. We get into the practical realities of cross-cultural hiring, communication differences, and how to create clarity without losing kindness. Then we go deeper into regenerative business principles, contrasting them with extractive models that quietly profit from low wages, vague policies, or unequal power.

Blending filmmaking and fiction: Neil Laird is a veteran documentary filmmaker and television executive who rediscovered a new creative spark in midlife through writing fiction. In this episode Neil shares his journey from a small steel town in Pennsylvania to directing documentaries for the Discovery Channel and National Geographic, and eventually finding the courage to self-publish his own novels at the age of 50.Inspired by the fearless reinvention of David Bowie, Neil discusses the transition from the 'tedious' corporate side of television back to the joy of making things up. He delves into his Prime Time Travelers series of novels, which blends his deep knowledge of ancient history with satirical takes on the chaos of TV production, and offers inspiring advice for adults looking to reignite their own passions: stop waiting for the stars to align, don't be afraid of the first 'rubbish' draft, and surround yourself with cheerleaders rather than naysayers.Finding Inspiration in the Unexpected: Neil recounts how a period of unemployment led him to the New York Public Library, where a chance encounter with a book on ancient history completely shifted his creative trajectory and led to his first documentary on the Great Sphinx.The Midlife Creative Shift: Turning 50 served as a catalyst for Neil to explore fiction. Inspired by the fearless innovation of David Bowie, he decided to move beyond the constraints of documentary filmmaking to imagine historical worlds with a fresh coat of paint.Blending Expertise with Satire: After struggling to find an agent for a traditional historical novel, Neil found his unique voice by blending his professional background with fiction in his Prime Time Travelers series – a satirical look at a film crew messing up history.The Power of Creative Independence: Neil discusses his decision to self-publish, allowing him to maintain creative control over his characters and storylines, including diverse and LGBTQ+ representation that might have been lost in traditional publishing.Advice for Aspiring Creatives: Neil emphasises the importance of starting now, surrounding yourself with cheerleaders rather than naysayers, and not being afraid of the inevitable first draft being a load of rubbish.I would love some financial support to help me to keep making this podcast.

Kendrick Leckband's story is a powerful example of what it looks like to step out of a successful career and into a more authentic life. After a high-performing career at a private equity firm, she came to a realization: she wasn't showing up as her true self. Through intentional self-work, including discovering her strengths, clarifying her values, crafting a personal mission statement, Kendrick gained the clarity to understand why she felt stuck and the courage to pursue a new direction more aligned with who she is on the inside. Her journey highlights a key message for anyone in a similar space in life: real fulfillment doesn't come from titles or tenure, but from alignment. And while the process of change can be uncomfortable, it often leads to the most meaningful growth. Top 3 Takeaways: 1. Misalignment not lack of ability is often the root of feeling "stuck." Kendrick's experience shows that you can be highly successful on paper yet feel unfulfilled internally. 2. Clarity comes from aligning strengths, values, and mission. The turning point in Kendrick's journey was doing the internal work to define her personal mission and connect it with her strengths and values. This alignment is known as her Authentic Imprint, helping her make decisions with confidence. 3. Transition can feel uncertain—but it can also bring peace and purpose. Even in the middle of career change, Kendrick describes feeling more peace than ever before. Instead of operating from fear, she's grounded in clarity and intentionality. Her story is a reminder that while change is uncomfortable, it often leads to greater energy, presence, and fulfillment—both at work and at home. Episode Minutes: Minute 5: Kendrick's top five strengths and their application Minute 13: The impact of understanding strengths, values, and mission Minute 25: The foundation of values, strengths, and mission as a guiding compass Minute 42: Advice for leaders: curiosity, taking small steps, and resilience Minute 46: The "Three T's" framework: True, Tune, Turn Links + Resources from This Episode: Connect with Kendrick on LinkedIn Join Dana Williams on April 30, 2026 in Dallas, TX for the Authentic Imprint™ Experience Take the free 3-minute Authentic Imprint™ Assessment Get a copy of Dana's book, The Internal Revolution: Lead Authentically and Build Your Personal Brand from Within  Learn more about The Strengths Journal

In this episode of “People in Transition”, we're joined by Sue Maitland, an ICF-accredited life and career transitions coach with over 13 years of experience helping high-achieving professionals navigate midlife change and create more meaningful, fulfilling lives.After a successful 20+ year career in IT consulting, Sue reached a point many can relate to - her life looked great on paper, but it no longer felt aligned. That realization sparked a bold career pivot, leading her to support others who feel stuck, uncertain, or ready for change but unsure where to begin. Today, she works one-on-one with clients, leads workshops, and runs a thriving global community designed to help people gain clarity, confidence, and direction in their next chapter.In this conversation, we explore a topic that resonates with so many - how to navigate midlife transitions, overcome self-doubt, and build a life that actually feels as good as it looks.Key topics we discussed:The signs of being “successful but stuck,” including dreading the start of the work week, feeling underutilized, and questioning what you'll have to show for your effortsWhy change is inherently difficult - our brains are wired for consistency, making career transitions especially challengingThe importance of doing real-world research before pursuing a new path (including Sue's example of the “romantic” idea of winemaking vs. the reality of it being farming)Understanding imposter syndrome, which affects over 70% of people, and how it shows up as a fear of being exposed as not good enoughThe concept of keeping a journal to track your wins, to reflect on and appreciate your accomplishmentsPractical advice for getting unstuck: pausing to reflect, identifying your core values, and aligning your work with both your strengths and your passions…and much more around gaining clarity, building confidence, and taking meaningful steps forward. Connect with Sue Maitland:Website: https://www.suemaitland.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suemaitland/Email: sue@suemaitland.comIf this episode resonated with you, please take a moment to leave a rating and review - it really helps others discover the show.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Todd Kroupa A former firefighter turned top-producing real estate agent in Georgia. Todd explains his journey from a physically demanding fire department career to becoming a highly successful real estate broker, team leader, and luxury/equestrian property specialist. The conversation walks through: His transition from the fire service to real estate Opening and managing a 400‑agent office in Florida Relocating to Georgia and re-establishing his business How he advises both first-time homebuyers and experienced sellers Emotional decision-making in buying and selling Inspections, deal-breakers, and buyer/seller behavior Multi-generational housing trends post‑COVID Why real estate remains a wealth-building tool Advice for navigating neighborhoods, schools, and due diligence His eventual ranking as #1 single agent for Berkshire Hathaway in Georgia (2024–2025) Todd emphasizes integrity, long-term relationships, and guiding clients toward the right house — not just closing a deal. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Todd Kroupa’s appearance is to: Share a motivational career-change story — moving from firefighter to top real estate agent. Educate listeners on the real estate process — including buying, selling, inspections, and market strategy. Give practical tips for first-time homebuyers, families, and multi-generational households. Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7. Multi-Generational Living Is Rising Driven by COVID, high child-care costs, rising home prices. Families are choosing: ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) “In-law suites” Larger family compounds 8. Real Estate as a Wealth Builder Unlike stock investments, real estate allows you to: Control, improve, alter, and live in the asset. Tax advantages like 1031 exchanges and mortgage deductions compound long-term value. 9. Don’t Buy the Most Expensive House in the Neighborhood Surrounding homes cap your resale value. You may have to wait years for nearby homes to “catch up.” 10. Neighborhood Due Diligence Realtors must avoid discrimination (Fair Housing Act). Buyers should: Visit neighborhoods at night and on weekends Speak with neighbors Review school ratings and county resources Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Career & Purpose “I love helping people. That’s why I became a fireman. Real estate was another way to help people.” “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to manage long term… my heart was with clients.” Ethics & Commission “Commissions should never be above the people.” “If you’re focused on commissions, you need to pick a different industry.” Emotions in Home Buying “Buyers think they’re looking logically, but they’re looking emotionally first.” “Within the first 3–5 minutes, they already know if they like the home.” Inspections “If you’re not comfortable with the property now, you won’t be comfortable after you close.” Neighborhood Choice “Focus on the house, but look at the neighborhood — you can’t change your neighbors.” Wealth Building “With stocks you can’t control it, improve it, or live in it.

Interviews can feel overwhelming if you're not prepared, or worse, they can feel discouraging when you know you're qualified, yet you keep hearing “we went another direction.” In episode #153 of the 2B Bolder podcast, I'm joined by Gina Riley, a former Fortune 50 HR leader turned executive career strategist and author of Qualified Isn't Enough, to discuss what's really happening behind the scenes in executive hiring and why great résumés still fall flat without the right story. And yes, even if you're not an executive, this show has great takeaways for you!We dig into the hiring manager's reality: a requisition is funded to solve a specific business problem, and the candidate who wins is the one who positions themselves as the clearest solution. Gina shares how to “read the room” across every touch point, why every stakeholder is effectively a decision maker, and how to build a tight set of interview stories that prove leadership, judgment, and results without sounding like everyone else. We also talk about executive presence, including the subtle communication habits that can weaken confidence and decisiveness, especially for women navigating competitive leadership roles.Gina walks us through her Career Velocity Framework: clarifying your unique value proposition, capturing wins in a career data vault, tightening your “tell me about yourself,” then translating it all into a stronger LinkedIn profile, interview prep, and a relationship-driven job search strategy. We also get practical about today's job market, layoffs, and how informational interviews can guide AI skill building when the landscape changes too fast for generic advice.If you're planning a career transition or you're in the middle of one, stop what you're doing and listen now, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more women in business and tech can find these career strategy tools.  Gina is amazing at knowing the ins and outs of navigating these waters, so you don't have to go it alone.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Todd Kroupa A former firefighter turned top-producing real estate agent in Georgia. Todd explains his journey from a physically demanding fire department career to becoming a highly successful real estate broker, team leader, and luxury/equestrian property specialist. The conversation walks through: His transition from the fire service to real estate Opening and managing a 400‑agent office in Florida Relocating to Georgia and re-establishing his business How he advises both first-time homebuyers and experienced sellers Emotional decision-making in buying and selling Inspections, deal-breakers, and buyer/seller behavior Multi-generational housing trends post‑COVID Why real estate remains a wealth-building tool Advice for navigating neighborhoods, schools, and due diligence His eventual ranking as #1 single agent for Berkshire Hathaway in Georgia (2024–2025) Todd emphasizes integrity, long-term relationships, and guiding clients toward the right house — not just closing a deal. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Todd Kroupa’s appearance is to: Share a motivational career-change story — moving from firefighter to top real estate agent. Educate listeners on the real estate process — including buying, selling, inspections, and market strategy. Give practical tips for first-time homebuyers, families, and multi-generational households. Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7. Multi-Generational Living Is Rising Driven by COVID, high child-care costs, rising home prices. Families are choosing: ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) “In-law suites” Larger family compounds 8. Real Estate as a Wealth Builder Unlike stock investments, real estate allows you to: Control, improve, alter, and live in the asset. Tax advantages like 1031 exchanges and mortgage deductions compound long-term value. 9. Don’t Buy the Most Expensive House in the Neighborhood Surrounding homes cap your resale value. You may have to wait years for nearby homes to “catch up.” 10. Neighborhood Due Diligence Realtors must avoid discrimination (Fair Housing Act). Buyers should: Visit neighborhoods at night and on weekends Speak with neighbors Review school ratings and county resources Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Career & Purpose “I love helping people. That’s why I became a fireman. Real estate was another way to help people.” “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to manage long term… my heart was with clients.” Ethics & Commission “Commissions should never be above the people.” “If you’re focused on commissions, you need to pick a different industry.” Emotions in Home Buying “Buyers think they’re looking logically, but they’re looking emotionally first.” “Within the first 3–5 minutes, they already know if they like the home.” Inspections “If you’re not comfortable with the property now, you won’t be comfortable after you close.” Neighborhood Choice “Focus on the house, but look at the neighborhood — you can’t change your neighbors.” Wealth Building “With stocks you can’t control it, improve it, or live in it. With a home, you can.” Success & Determination “Someone told me when I moved to Georgia I wasn’t going to make it. Now I’m the number one salesperson in Georgia.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
