All of us want abundance – growth, confidence, security, fulfilment and a sense of living our purpose. And while many of us have careers and leadership roles that look good on paper, the feeling of flow, expansiveness, sustainability and deep meaning is elusive.

Let's explore what this looks like and how you can bring it to life in your career and leadership journey.Topics discussed:What abundant leadership is and how to experience itThe 3 keys to abundance and how to identify which one is lacking in your careerThe imperative for leaders to manage ourselves as deliberately and consistently as we manage the businesses we lead --Book a once-off coaching session to get real-time support to help you move forwardBook a free 1x1 coaching discovery call to explore a coaching package Book a human design reading to help you determine your leadership archetype and the best way to thrive in your leadershipReach out for team retreats, workshop facilitation, or 1x1 and group leadership coaching for your companySign up to receive my leadership letters and hear about upcoming classes, workshops and retreatsConnect with me on ⁠LinkedIn⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠

Employees were trusted, collaboration was encouraged, and leaders treated the workforce as partners. That environment shaped his perspective early on. When he later moved into GM, the environment felt very different. Decisions came from the top, and people were expected to follow orders without question. Seeing both sides of the industry gave Tony a clear choice about the kind of leader he wanted to be. Instead of command and control, he committed to leading through coaching and support.Now, as President and CEO of Gemini Group, Tony applies those lessons every day. He talks about creating a workplace where people can try, make mistakes, and learn without fear of punishment. In his view, that's how resilience is built — not by avoiding risk, but by facing challenges and adapting together.Tony also reflects on Gemini's small-town Michigan roots. It's a place where people know each other, relationships matter, and the company works hard to keep that spirit alive even as it operates globally. He describes how those values influence daily decisions and help steady the organization in an unpredictable industry.The conversation turns to the realities of being a tier two supplier. Tony shares how tariffs, EV and hybrid transitions, and global competition create constant uncertainty. Instead of pretending to have all the answers, he focuses on being transparent and open with his team, making sure they understand the challenges and feel connected to the bigger mission.Tony also opens up on a more personal level. He talks about what fuels his drive as a leader, the routines that set the tone for his day, and the ways he steps back to recharge outside of work.The episode closes with a live audience Q&A, giving Tony the chance to respond directly to questions about Gemini's future, his leadership style, and the lessons that shaped him. What listeners get from this conversation is more than a story about one leader's journey; it's an honest look at leadership in automotive today. Tony's message is straightforward: leadership is about people first, and culture is what carries a company through change.Themes discussed in this episode:The leadership lessons Tony Trecapelli carried from Saturn's collaborative culture into his careerThe difference between servant leadership and command-and-control styles in automotive organizationsWhy Tony leads Gemini Group with a coaching mindset that encourages growth through mistakesThe daily realities and challenges tier two suppliers face in a volatile automotive supply chainThe impact of tariffs, EV transitions, and political uncertainty on business decisions for suppliersThe role of mentors, personal habits, and values in shaping Tony's leadership approachWhy transparency and clear communication are essential for building trust during times of changeFeatured guest: Tony Trecapelli What he does: Anthony A.

What if the very thing you think will burn you out… is actually the thing that saves your career?Burnout is everywhere in our field. And here's the hard truth: burnout is the single greatest threat to you staying in this profession — the very profession you spent years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars in grad school to join.That's why today's episode is such an important one. We're talking about how private clients aren't the cause of burnout — they're actually the path out of it.So many SLPs and OTs believe that adding private clients would just stretch them thinner. But here's the truth: it's not the therapy that's exhausting you — it's the system. Overloaded caseloads, endless paperwork, lack of flexibility, and feeling undervalued are what's draining you.Instead of running on empty, you finally get to create a career that fuels you, both personally and professionally.Inside the Start Your Private Practice Program, I've seen this transformation over and over again. So many students came in ready to leave the field altogether, but private practice reignited their passion. They're working fewer hours, earning more, serving clients they love and most importantly, loving their careers again.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Why burnout is the #1 threat to your careerThe real cause of burnoutHow private practice restores control, balance, and fulfillmentBest time to take your first step into private practiceHere's what I want you to remember: you didn't come this far, invest this much, and work this hard just to burn out and walk away. Private practice can be your way back to freedom, fulfillment, and loving your career again.Want to take back control of your career and finally escape burnout? The Start Your Private Practice Program is where I'll help you set up your first private clients so you can work less, earn more, and love being a clinician again.

Welcome back to The Root of the Matter. In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Toni Engram, a SMART-certified biologic dentist, integrative health coach, and founder of Flourish Dental Boutique in Texas. From the moment we connected, it felt like talking with a soul sister. Our journeys through personal illness, holistic healing, and biologic dentistry mirror each other in many ways, and this conversation is packed with insights for anyone curious about how the mouth and body are deeply intertwined.Dr. Engram shares her personal story of being diagnosed with Crohn's disease, and how that turning point inspired her to reimagine the way she practiced dentistry. Instead of following the conventional model, she began to explore oral-systemic health, functional medicine, and the root causes of inflammation. Her journey led her to create a fluoride-free, mercury-safe dental practice where patients are cared for with a focus on prevention, healing, and whole-body wellness.Together, we explore the connections between oral health, the gut microbiome, and the nervous system. We talk about why airway health, tongue ties, and sleep apnea matter more than most people realize, and how breathing patterns can influence everything from digestion to a child's development. Dr. Engram also opens up about the challenges of transitioning a conventional dental practice to a biologic model, and why authenticity is so important when guiding patients through this work.What We Dive Into in This EpisodeDr. Engram's healing journey with Crohn's disease and how it shaped her careerThe overlap between gut dysbiosis, oral inflammation, and systemic healthSleep apnea, airway health, and the role of the nervous system in preventionWhy fluoride-free and mercury-safe dentistry supports long-term healthSalivary testing, microbiome diversity, and why pH balance matters more than fluorideHow materials like composites, zirconia, and biocompatible ceramics impact the bodyThe power of ozone, PRF, and functional tools for saving teeth and preventing root canalsCreating a dental practice that is truly authentic and patient-centeredThis conversation is full of practical pearls and heart-centered wisdom. Whether you're a patient curious about biologic dentistry, a mom navigating your child's oral health, or a provider looking for inspiration on the path toward more holistic care, you'll leave this episode with fresh perspective and hope.Connect with Dr. Toni IngramWebsite: flourish.dentalInstagram: @drtoniengram✨ Thank you for helping us reach the top 5% of podcasts in the oral health space!

Are robots REALLY coming for your role?Today, we're talking about what AI actually means for your career and simple steps you can take now to stay ahead.In my last corporate role, there was a running joke I had IT Helpdesk on speed dial. Digital devices seem to self-destruct in my presence -- and I'm certainly no AI expert! But despite my tech challenges, I've chosen to fully embrace AI. I've trained my own custom GPT as a thinking partner to help me brainstorm ideas or refine my content (never create it). Still, when it comes to AI taking over my role, I thought my profession was pretty futureproof. My work is ALL about human connection and requires a multitude of human skills AI can't replicate.That was until I saw a Wall Street Journal article claiming an AI was the “best career coach” someone ever had. And it got me thinking...If AI can be a ‘coach' -- what else could it take over? And more importantly, what could this mean for YOUR career path?In this episode, I'm sharing my REAL thoughts on this, including how AI is already impacting other professions, whether robots are coming for your role and what this tells us about the future of work.You'll walk away with 3 practical tips to take back control and futureproof your career in the age of AI. Because while I'm not a tech expert, what I DO know a lot about is career planning and how to advance your career in the changing world of work! You'll learn:What generative AI means for knowledge workers -- and how to go from overwhelmed to adapting to change, faster than you thinkWhy working hard won't guarantee success and the ONE shift you must make to keep your skills relevant and futureproof your careerThe specific skills you need in the age of AI so you stay competitive, no matter how your profession evolvesHow exploring non-linear paths can open up opportunities you never even imagined -- and help you take ownership of your career in a changing worldSo hit play NOW -- and let's dive in!Thanks for listening.

In this episode, Lisa and Melissa discuss:The misconceptions and realities of pursuing a music careerThe value and limitations of majoring in music at collegeHow parents can support teens responsibly pursuing creative pathsBuilding sustainable and financially secure careers in the artsKey Takeaways: Majoring in music is often unnecessary, and sometimes unhelpful, for students pursuing contemporary music careers, who instead benefit more from learning entrepreneurial skills like music production, video editing, and social media marketing.Many successful musicians build income through diverse streams like collaboration, licensing, freelance production, and music business work, not just from their music.Early hands-on experience in music production, collaboration, and entrepreneurship helps students determine whether a professional music career is right for them before committing to a college major or expensive program.A helpful question to guide college decisions is: "What are you hiring a college to do for you?" Focusing on outcomes like networking or skill-building rather than simply pursuing prestige.“You do not need a piece of paper, or an institution, or anyone's permission to become great at your craft. Become an entrepreneur and launch yourself.” – Melissa MulliganAbout Melissa Mulligan: Melissa Mulligan is a renowned vocal and music career coach who has guided platinum-selling, award-winning, and touring artists, including Jack from AJR, Chelsea Cutler, Jeremy Zucker, and Aria Lisslo, the 2024 John Lennon Songwriter Award winner.
