After Hoda departed TODAY in January 2025, Jenna Bush Hager spent a year sitting side by side with a rotating group of friends, but as it turns out, her permanent partner was someone who had been part of the TODAY family all along: Sheinelle Jones. On the heels of the launch of TODAY with Jenna and Sheinelle, Hoda sat down with Jenna and Sheinelle for a SiriusXM Front Row Conversation at SiriusXM's New York City studios to talk about their official beginning as co-hosts, the lessons Sheinelle has learned in the wake of losing her husband, Uche, and how grief and joy can exist side by side. Plus, what having Sheinelle by her side means for Jenna, and reflections on her path to this moment. (Originally broadcast on SiriusXM TODAY Show Radio.) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The ground keeps shifting, but your core doesn't have to.  We dive into the art of evolving your identity without feeling lost, using one deceptively simple question to turn uncertainty into clarity.  When we anchor to purpose and let the packaging change, we gain freedom to pivot, experiment, and still feel like ourselves.  We start by dismantling the end of history illusion, that sneaky belief that who we are today is who we'll be forever.  You'll hear how Maya Shankar reframed a lost violin career into cognitive science by following her values, and how Vera Wang translated the drive of elite skating into world-changing fashion. Those stories aren't fairy dust - they're blueprints. If your why is service, creation, truth, or potential, there are many hats that can honor it, even as technology and markets evolve.  Walk away with a simple, repeatable practice to keep your core steady while your tools, titles, and tactics evolve with the times.  If this sparked something for you, follow the show, share it with a friend or your mastermind, and leave a quick review so more people can navigate change with clarity and courage.  Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First, Executive, Leadership and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant

When was the last time you paused before taking action to ask, “What problem am I really trying to solve?” In this episode, I sit down with Kendra MacDonald, CEO of Canada's Ocean Supercluster, to unravel what it means to lead with purpose in a rapidly changing world. The conversation starts with her daring career move from a global role at Deloitte to building a new organization from the ground up, which was fueled by a passion for meaningful innovation.If you've ever questioned your own courage to change course or felt the tug-of-war between personal boundaries and professional expectations, Kendra offers practical wisdom. She talks through her steps to manage risk when taking on something new, using self-reflection rather than bravado to guide decision-making. Facing imposter syndrome? She's been there too, and her advice is grounded and honest: focus on your unique contributions and let curiosity lead, especially when you're the newcomer in the room.For leaders building teams, or founders starting with just a vision, the conversation surfaces actionable insights such as the crucial role of constant communication, the importance of recognizing and rewarding small acts of courage in teams, and the need to set and protect personal boundaries to stave off burnout. Kendra is transparent about the challenges of remote work and the ongoing experiment to keep her own organization connected across digital distance.True leadership is about the quality of the questions we ask ourselves and others. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about how we can do both.What You'll Learn- Strategies for overcoming the fear of career pivots.- How to motivate teams to embrace innovation… without being annoying!- Balance operational realities with purpose-driven missions.- Build a thriving remote team culture.- Overcoming imposter syndrome and leading as an introvert.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Career Journey: From Deloitte to Ocean Economy(07:06) – Innovating with Purpose: Framing the Right Problem(09:45) – Courage to Change: Navigating Career Transitions(12:29) – Building Organizations from the Ground Up(15:17) – Setting Boundaries & Personal Clarity in Leadership(18:13) – Leading as an Introvert: Speaking, Visibility & Energy(24:28) – Top Leadership Qualities for Today's World(28:15) – Motivating Teams & Driving Innovation(39:09) – Leading in AI & Tech-Driven TimesKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Innovation, Purpose-Driven Leadership, Career Transition, Technology Adoption, Artificial Intelligence, Continuous Learning, Remote Work Culture, Organizational Culture, Psychological Safety, Courage, Resilience, Authenticity, Global Mindset, Diversity in Leadership, Work-Life Boundaries, Imposter Syndrome, Trust, Team-Building, Ethics in AI, Burnout Prevention, Curiosity, Change Management, Mentoring, CEO Success

What happens when the role you have built your identity around no longer makes sense, but nothing has replaced it yet?When your work has shaped how you introduce yourself and how the world sees you, loosening your grip on that role can feel deeply unsettling.

Send us a textHave you ever felt the weight of a career transition and wondered if you were falling behind?On this episode of the Unarmored Talk Podcast, I share a different perspective: when transition feels heavy, it's not failure—it's awareness. It's your nervous system paying attention because the moment matters.I walk through three practical pro tips for navigating career change, job transitions, and identity shifts—especially for professionals, service members, and veterans. The focus is simple: move from pressure to progress without losing who you are.I explain why fear isn't weakness but information, why your value extends beyond titles and income, and why you don't need a life plan—just the next right step. Small, consistent actions build momentum, reduce stress, and restore clarity.Key TakeawaysFeeling heavy doesn't mean you're behind—it means you careYour identity is bigger than your titleCalm comes from action, not clarity

We're diving deep into the world of iconic album cover art with our special guest, Frm. Elektra Records Art Director Bob Heimall.  A name behind some of the most memorable visuals in music history. From his humble beginnings at Elektra Records in the late 1960s to becoming the youngest art director in the business, Bob Heimall's creativity has graced records by legends like Carly Simon, Jim Croce, The Doors, Bread, Iggy Pop, and even Yoko Ono.You'll hear Bob Heimall share personal stories, like joining Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin for an unforgettable moment in a New York penthouse, rubbing elbows with rock royalty, working with Carly Simon while she breastfed her son, and being the sole audience for Jim Croce's final album performance just two weeks before tragedy struck. He'll reveal behind-the-scenes anecdotes about album art decisions—some even leading to legendary band debates—describe the step-by-step design process before Photoshop, and recount the emotional impact these collaborations left on him.Plus, Bob Heimall discusses the cutthroat world of record labels, his transition from Elektra to Arista under Clive Davis, and reflects on the vital role music—and its packaging—plays in shaping our memories.

We joke about founders wearing many hats, but that metaphor misses the point. It's not about swapping accessories—it's about growing entirely new heads, each with its own brain that thinks, speaks, and prioritizes differently. In this episode, I explore why the transition from consulting or agency work to software entrepreneurship is so disorienting, and why the instincts that made you successful before might be the exact things preventing success now. From the uncomfortable truth about acquisition in low-touch SaaS to the cognitive dissonance of believing in yourself while questioning everything you know, this is about what it really takes to become someone new while staying grounded in who you've always been.This episode of The Bootstraped Founder is sponsored by Paddle.comThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/many-heads-not-many-hats-the-founders-identity-crisis/ The podcast episode: https://tbf.fm/episodes/many-heads-not-many-hats-the-founders-identity-crisisCheck out Podscan, the Podcast database that transcribes every podcast episode out there minutes after it gets released: https://podscan.fmSend me a voicemail on Podline: https://podline.fm/arvidYou'll find my weekly article on my blog: https://thebootstrappedfounder.comPodcast: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/podcastNewsletter: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/newsletterMy book Zero to Sold: https://zerotosold.com/My book The Embedded Entrepreneur: https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/My course Find Your Following: https://findyourfollowing.comHere are a few tools I use.

Send us a textWhat happens when a nurse interrupts a product manager in the middle of a training session to tell them they are wrong? apparently, a 25-year career in sales leadership begins. On this episode, Scott and Mike welcome Barton Schmitz, VP of Strategic Accounts at CAPSA (and Mike's former boss), to discuss the transition from clinical care to high-stakes sales.Barton drops a masterclass on the fundamental difference between "servicing" a customer (pointing them to the bread aisle) and selling to a customer (walking them there and finding out why they need the bread). He shares his "Steering Wheel Sticky Note" hack for accountability, explains why a "No" at the closing table is actually a failure of process, and breaks down how to use your manager to clear internal roadblocks—including creative deal-structuring like "split terms."Key Takeaways:The Definition of Selling: Barton defines selling simply as "getting people to do something they normally would not do." If they were going to do it anyway, you are just an order taker.The "Bread" Analogy: Don't just point to the aisle. Walk the customer there, ask questions, and uncover the need. That is the difference between service and sales.The Steering Wheel Hack: Before every call, write your specific goal (PO, commitment, next step) on a sticky note and put it on your steering wheel. When you get back to the car, that note is your immediate accountability mirror.Pipeline vs. Tasks: A sales process is a tool to move a customer at a controlled rate. If you aren't moving them forward, you are just completing tasks.Leveraging Leadership: Don't suffer in silence. Use your manager to clear operational roadblocks or to approve creative financial structures (like split terms) to save a deal.Support the showScott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

In this episode of the UpliftHER Leadership Series on the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Mary Brodie , digital experience strategist, founder of Gearmark, two-time author, and a thoughtful voice at the intersection of technology, human experience, and conscious leadership.Our conversation was a beautiful, expansive exploration of what it truly means to navigate change with grace. Mary shared her nonlinear career journey from aspiring English professor to digital strategist, from corporate roles shaped by layoffs and pivots to founding her own consultancy — and the deep self-awareness, curiosity, and compassion that carried her through each chapter.This episode weaves together career evolution, leadership, spirituality, and resilience, offering gentle yet powerful insights for anyone navigating uncertainty or redefining success on their own terms.✨ Here's what we explored in this rich and reflective conversation:✅ Embracing nonlinear career paths and releasing the pressure to “have it all figured out” ✅ Why knowing what you don't want can be just as powerful as knowing what you do ✅ Navigating layoffs, job loss, and career transitions without internalizing shame ✅ Reframing rejection and understanding that most setbacks are not personal ✅ The role of curiosity, experimentation, and flexibility in conscious leadership ✅ How meditation, Buddhism, and self-compassion reshaped Mary's inner world ✅ The difference between empathy and compassion — and why compassion creates healthier boundaries ✅ Letting go of codependency and learning not to take things personally ✅ Acceptance as a leadership skill, not a form of resignation ✅ Insights from Mary's upcoming book: Acceptance: The Key to Being a Good ListenerMary reminds us that most paths are reversible, few decisions are permanent, and growth often comes from allowing ourselves to pause, reflect, and evolve. Through her wisdom and lived experience, she invites us to lead with presence, listen more deeply, and meet life's transitions with compassion rather than fear.Leadership isn't about certainty; it's about awareness. When we stop taking life's twists personally and start meeting them with acceptance and curiosity, we open the door to more aligned, human-centered leadership.✨ Take a deep breath. Your journey doesn't need to make sense to anyone else — only to you.Connect with Mary BrodieLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mfbrodie/Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Mary-Brodie/author/B07ZBP6359?shoppingPortalEnabled=trueWebsite: https://www.mfbrodie.com/Connect with Me ( Rita)Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/ritasavoia_/?hl=enFacebook | https://www.facebook.com/savoia1X | https://x.com/rsavoia?lang=enLinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/ritasavoia/?originalSubdomain=ca

In Round 102 of the Tactical Transition Tips on the Transition Drill Podcast, your transition doesn't begin with paperwork or a final day on the job. It begins much earlier, often quietly, when structure starts doing more of the work than intention. For people who built their identity inside disciplined professions, the danger isn't failure after transition, it's drift. Old habits. Old circles. Old coping mechanisms that no longer fit the life ahead, but remain familiar enough to feel safe.This episode focuses on one critical idea: if you don't deliberately decide what you're leaving behind, it will follow you forward. Careers built on structure, hierarchy, and mission provide a powerful container. When that container loosens or disappears, responsibility shifts inward. Without planning, the same discipline that once kept everything aligned can dissolve into complacency, isolation, or reactive decision-making.This episode breaks transition preparation into three distinct timelines, recognizing that preparation looks different depending on how close someone is to leaving a structured career. Each group is given a specific focus designed to reduce risk, preserve identity, and support long-term stability beyond a uniform, badge, or rank.Transition Group Guidance:• Close Range Group (transitioning now to within 12 months): Audit What Still Pulls You Backwards.Identify people, routines, and environments that undermine progress, and create distance now so they don't quietly shape your next career.• Medium Range Group (transitioning in 3–5 years): Build a New Tribe Before You Need It.Begin forming relationships outside your current organization so support, mentorship, and perspective already exist when the transition begins.• Long Range Group (transitioning in 10+ years): Decide Early Who You Refuse to Become.Establish clear identity guardrails and small daily habits that prevent long-term drift into bitterness, stagnation, or unhealthy metrics of success.This episode isn't about motivation. It's about awareness, discipline, and ownership. Transition outcomes are rarely determined at the moment of exit. They are shaped years earlier by the decisions people make when no one is forcing them to prepare.This round lays out how to do that work early, deliberately, and without drama.Get additional resources and join our newsletter via the link in the show notes.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10

There comes a moment — sometimes quiet, sometimes painfully loud — when something in your life that once felt effortless begins to feel heavy. Maybe it's the sinking feeling as Sunday night arrives, the subtle dread before opening your laptop, or the growing awareness that you no longer feel like yourself. In today's episode, Janet explores these moments not as inconveniences, but as invitations, signals from within that something in your life is no longer aligned with who you are becoming.This conversation is about the real, grounded work of letting go. Not the inspirational-quote version, but the soul-level honesty it takes to admit when a job, relationship, role, or identity no longer fits. You'll also hear practical, compassionate guidance for navigating change when you have real responsibilities and can't simply walk away overnight.In this episode:✅ How misalignment first appears in subtle emotional or physical signals✅ The quiet internal process of letting go before any external change occurs✅ How to create a grounded, realistic runway for change✅ Why strengthening your financial foundation is essential for meaningful freedom✅ The importance of boundaries, support systems, and honest self-reflection✅ Key questions to help you uncover what your deeper self is trying to tell youResources:Questions for reflection:Where in my life am I misaligned, but I'm forcing myself to stay? What part of me is asking for growth?What physical or emotional signals have I been ignoring? What am I afraid will happen if I leave? What am I afraid will happen if I stay? If nothing changed in the next year, how would I feel? What would I choose if fear wasn't making the decision?About Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul.

In this enlightening podcast episode, Guy welcomed guest Jason Pickard, a former top Wall Street trader who transformed his life journey from financial success to true wellbeing. Jason shared his story of weighing 330 pounds, being mentored by Paul Chek, and discovering the deeper meaning of wealth. The conversation delved into Jason's shamanic experiences, the significant lessons he learned about holistic health, personal growth, and integrating spirituality with financial success. Jason also discussed the importance of authentic self-expression, passing on wisdom from indigenous communities, and the transformative power of living in alignment with one's true purpose. About Jason: Jason Pickard became a billion-dollar portfolio manager and partner to hedge fund legend, Paul Tudor Jones, at Tudor Investment. By the age of 26, he was recognized as one of the top 30 traders under 30 years old in the World. Yet his health was on an absolute decline. He was 330 lbs. and suffered from a mental and physical health crisis.  On a quest to become a master of both his inner and outer worlds, he decided to travel the world –– spending thousands of dollars and studying for thousands of hours learning directly from the greatest masters of a wide variety of healing arts, martial arts, holistic nutrition and movement, cutting edge psychology, and wisdom traditions of the East and West, ancient, indigenous and contemporary.  He has now integrated the wisdom gained on this journey by creating The Abundance Archetype method to help you discover and actualize your super-natural capacities to create wealth and well-being in your life, to thrive at work while also feeling your best. This, in turn, will give you a greater sense of your reason for being alive –– at this pivotal moment in human history.

Brianna Beans fell off a ladder on a home inspection... and it rocked her career. In fact, it inspired a complete overhaul of her business model and a pivot from home inspections... to rental property inspections. This opened up an entirely new stream of recurring revenue while allowing her to operate within her new safety limits.
