Podcasts about carve your own path

Have you ever felt like the very identity that defined you was becoming a straightjacket? That the career path, role, or persona you'd so carefully crafted suddenly felt constraining rather than purposeful? If so, you've likely experienced the disorienting - yet potentially catalyzing - transition I'm exploring with my guest today. I'm joined by Laura Gassner Otting. As an author, speaker, and entrepreneur who helped innovate AmeriCorps in the Clinton White House, she's intimately familiar with the psychological terrain one must navigate when shedding an old identity to birth the next evolution. Her new book "Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life" provides a roadmap for this journey. *** And before we dive in, a quick note on the state of the show.  So we have been in a season of reimagining here at Spark HQ, taking a look at what we're doing and why, how we're serving, and how best to keep serving you in the future. And as we do that, we've decided to take some time and place the show on hiatus while we deepen into new ideas and formats and ways to keep sharing the awakened work-life love.  So this will be the final episode as we head into a quieter season of incubation and reimagining. We appreciate you coming along for the ride with us, and really look forward to being back with new ways to share new ideas.  *** Find: Laura Gassner Otting   Website  |  Books Host: Jonathan Fields, creator of Good Life Project podcast & the Sparketype® Assessment Read Jonathan's Awake at the Wheel Newsletter More on Sparketypes:  Discover Your Sparketype | The Book | The Website Presented by LinkedIn.

In this thought-provoking episode, hosts Ryan Boniface and Jose Noya explore the timeless idea of forging your own path, inspired by a quote from journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Despite some technical hiccups, the duo dives deep into how societal norms often shape our lives and the power of stepping outside those boundaries to embrace individuality and authenticity. Ryan shares his take on challenging the traditional life trajectory, likening life to a squiggly line filled with peaks and troughs that reflect moments of true happiness. Meanwhile, Jose reflects on his personal experiences and emphasizes the importance of taking risks and making bold choices to live a fulfilling life.The hosts remind us, "You don't have to do something you don't want to for the rest of your life," underscoring the importance of courage and risk in shaping our futures. Whether it's about career, relationships, or personal goals, this episode encourages listeners to think critically about their own paths and make deliberate choices that align with their true selves.

What if the discomfort of success isn't a breakdown, but a breakthrough? Laura Gassner Otting challenges us to embrace this idea in what she calls “Wonderhell”—the space where new success unlocks untapped potential while also bringing doubt, anxiety, and bigger goals. Laura's journey is a testament to bold reinvention. From dropping out of law school to working in the White House, founding a global executive search firm, and becoming a bestselling author, she's built a career anchored in core values and fearless decision-making.Her story is more than a career blueprint; it's an invitation to rethink how we view success. Laura believes that passion lies in what you're willing to fail at until you master it and that aligning with your values can transform uncertainty into growth. She reframes midlife as a liberating time to hone skills, grow quietly, and then make your biggest impact. Laura's insights are a rallying cry to anyone ready to push through discomfort and claim their full potential.Key Highlights:Rethinking Passion: Passion is what you're willing to fail at repeatedly until you succeed.Wonderhell Explained: Success reveals untapped potential but also brings doubt and ambition, creating space for growth.Core Values Matter: Staying rooted in your values helps guide decisions and build authentic success.Midlife Opportunity: Laura sees midlife invisibility as a time to refine and prepare for major impact.Leveraging Skills: Past experiences and transferable skills are key to creating new opportunities.About Our Guest:Author, Catalyst, and Executive Coach Laura Gassner Otting inspires people to push past the doubt and indecision that keep great ideas in limbo by helping audiences think bigger and accept greater challenges that reach beyond their current, limited scope of belief.She delivers strategic thinking, well-honed wisdom, and perspective generated by decades of navigating change across the start-up, corporate, nonprofit, political, as well as philanthropic landscapes. Laura dares audiences to find their voice, and generate the confidence needed to tackle larger-than-life challenges by helping them to seek new ways of leading, managing, and mentoring others.Laura's rebellious and entrepreneurial edge has been well-honed over a 25-year career that started when she dropped out of law school to join an unknown southern governor's presidential campaign, and ended up as a Presidential Appointee in Bill Clinton's White House, where she helped shape AmeriCorps.She left a leadership role as the youngest Vice President at a nationally respected search firm when she realized that her boss's definition of success didn't align with hers and, instead, founded and ran one of the fastest growing search firms in the country, partnering with the full gamut of mission-driven executives, from start-up dreamers to scaling social entrepreneurs to global philanthropists. In 2015, Laura sold that firm to the team who helped her build it, both because she was hungry for the next chapter and because she held an audacious dream of electing our nation's first female president. (Whomp whomp.)Since that time, Laura has appeared regularly on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show, and her writing has been seen in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, HR Magazine. Laura is the author of Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life (2019), which debuted at #2 on the Washington Post bestseller list (right behind Michelle Obama), has been translated into Arabic, Korean, Turkish, Portuguese, and German, and which Good Morning America'sRobin Roberts chose as one of her Favorite Books of 2019, as well as Mission-Driven: Moving from Profit to Purpose (2015).

On today's episode of the Entrepreneur Evolution Podcast, we are joined by Laura Gassner Otting. Author, Catalyst, and Executive Coach Laura Gassner Otting inspires people to push past the doubt and indecision that keep great ideas in limbo by helping audiences think bigger and accept greater challenges that reach beyond their current, limited scope of belief. She delivers strategic thinking, well-honed wisdom, and perspective generated by decades of navigating change across the start-up, corporate, nonprofit, political, as well as philanthropic landscapes. Laura dares audiences to find their voice, and generate the confidence needed to tackle larger-than-life challenges by helping them to seek new ways of leading, managing, and mentoring others. Laura's rebellious and entrepreneurial edge has been well-honed over a 25-year career that started when she dropped out of law school to join an unknown southern governor's presidential campaign, and ended up as a Presidential Appointee in Bill Clinton's White House, where she helped shape AmeriCorps. She left a leadership role as the youngest Vice President at a nationally respected search firm when she realized that her boss's definition of success didn't align with hers and, instead, founded and ran one of the fastest growing search firms in the country, partnering with the full gamut of mission-driven executives, from start-up dreamers to scaling social entrepreneurs to global philanthropists. In 2015, Laura sold that firm to the team who helped her build it, both because she was hungry for the next chapter and because she held an audacious dream of electing our nation's first female president. (Whomp whomp.) Since that time, Laura has appeared regularly on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show, and her writing has been seen in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, HR Magazine. Laura is the author of Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life (2019), which debuted at #2 on the Washington Post bestseller list (right behind Michelle Obama), has been translated into Arabic, Korean, Turkish, Portuguese, and German, and which Good Morning America's Robin Roberts chose as one of her Favorite Books of 2019, as well as Mission-Driven: Moving from Profit to Purpose (2015). Her forthcoming book, Wonderhell, is expected in April 2023. Through her own commitment to give back, Laura has helped build a local Montessori school, co-founded a women's philanthropic initiative, advised a start-up national women's PAC, grew a citizen-leadership development program, and completed five charity-inspired marathons, projects emblematic of her passions and values. She's turned on by the audacity of The Big Idea and that larger-than-life goal you just can't seem to shake. She's an instigator, a motivator, and a provocateur, and she's never met a revolution she didn't like, just ask her enduringly patient husband, two almost-grown sons, and troublesome puppy with whom she lives outside of Boston, MA.  To learn more about Laura and get her books, visit https://www.lauragassnerotting.com/ We would love to hear from you, and it would be awesome if you left us a 5-star review.

Have you ever wondered what it would take to write a best-selling book? Imagine going from a phone call, to crafting an inspiring narrative, to becoming an acclaimed author. This exhilarating journey comes to life in our conversation with accomplished author and motivational speaker, Laura Gassner Otting. Laura shares her extraordinary evolution as an author, the importance of a book as a marker of legitimacy, and her unique perspective on public speaking. Laura also dives into sales techniques and the life-changing transition from working in an executive search firm to launching her own venture. Laura's emphasis on the significance of client trust and her candid admissions about the role it played in her success are truly enlightening. She also gives us an insight into her fight against self-doubt, and how her achievements served as stepping stones to fulfilling her potential. Laura has appeared regularly on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show, and her writing has been seen in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, HR Magazine. She is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of three books, including Wonderhell: Why Success Doesn't Feel Like It Should… and What to Do About It, Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life, and Mission-Drive: Moving from Profit to Purpose. Her books have been translated into five languages. What we discuss: (0:00:01) - Laura's journey into literature and public speaking (0:05:29) - Sales techniques  (0:13:40) - Overcoming self-doubt to fulfill potential (0:25:46) - Influence of your social circle (0:30:02) - Embracing ambition and overcoming doubt (0:40:17) - Gaining strength through belief (0:45:34) - Success, networking and recognizing self-worth (0:52:09) - Emphasizing the importance of support Key Takeaways:  1.

Instead of letting self-doubt hinder her, she harnessed it as a driving force towards achieving her full potential. She also shares insights on how to manage fear, particularly in public speaking, viewing it as an invitation to adventure rather than a deterrent. 2. Surrounding yourself with the right people is crucial: Laura emphasizes the importance of the people you surround yourself with in shaping your journey to success. She warns about the dangers of having the wrong people in your circle and stresses the need for a supportive network that encourages and sees your worth. 3. Embracing failure and understanding that it's a part of the journey: Laura shares her perspective on failure, seeing it not as a finale but as a fulcrum from which we learn and grow. She suggests making a list of your proudest achievements and acknowledging the failures and lessons along the way, as these experiences contribute to personal growth and reaching your next goal.

Some of our favorite conversations are with thought leaders from outside veterinary medicine—there's something refreshing about realizing that the challenges we face in vet med aren't always unique to our industry. Laura Gassner Otting, or LGO, is an executive coach and author of two books, Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life (2019), and Wonderhell: Why Success Doesn't Feel Like It Should... and What to Do About It (2023).   Both books debuted at #2 on major bestseller lists, and we have a feeling it's not only because LGO has appeared on Good Morning America and TODAY, given TED talks, and served as a presidential appointee in Clinton's White House – she just has a knack for putting tough concepts into terms that resonate.     Many of us in vet med spent our whole lives working towards a goal—getting into school, being credentialed, finding that first job. But as a lot of us find out, working hard for years to get somewhere doesn't protect us from burnout, disillusionment, or feeling lost without another star to aim for. In this episode, LGO talks about why success sometimes feels as scary and difficult as it can feel great.     Find out more about LGO at lauragassnerotting.com.     Central Line is made possible with generous support from CareCredit.     Registration is OPEN NOW for AAHA's reimagined annual conference, AAHA Con!

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Lori Saitz in a really passionate exploration of meditation and how it supports our overall goals in life. We de-bunk myths about meditation ("I should be doing this", "I'm not good at it", "I don't have time", and more. Lori shares how meditation can help re-wire your brain, giving opportunity to tune into your own awareness and to find your own inner voice, rather than what others say you should be doing. We also touch on when affirmations are helpful, or when they are teetering on toxic positivity or unhelpful in some other way. We wrap up by emphasizing that, despite the message in society, hard work is not the only factor in reaching success.

Success can be a double edged sword; when you meet or exceed your goals, the first thing you feel is a rush of elation and pride. But often, right around the corner is a lurking sense of anxiety, stress, and fear. Authors feel this sensation at many points in the writing process. You manage to get the manuscript drafted, but you worry it might not connect with readers after it's published. You publish it and it's a massive success, but what's next? How do you follow up a bestseller? What if you can't do it again?If you've felt sensations like this, but didn't know how to describe it, Laura Gassner Otting has the perfect word for you: Wonderhell.

Laura's newest book, Wonderhell: Why Success Doesn't Feel Like It Should... and What to Do About It aims to help readers navigate this strange experience. Laura also gives some insight into her writing process, such as the importance of sharing your own story, walking the fine line between inspirational and relatable, and how the content for Limitless took twenty years to experience, and six weeks to write.Key Takeaways from This Episode:Why Laura believes there's no endpoint to success, there's just a waypoint to what else we can do.Why imposter syndrome is often more intense for writers.The fine line between being inspirational and being relatable.Why Laura wants wonderhell to be in the dictionary.And much more...Resources Mentioned in this Episode:Laura's websiteLimitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life bookLaura's InstagramAbout Laura Gassner Otting:Laura's secret superpower is seeing your greatness and reflecting it back on you, so that you can get "unstuck" and achieve extraordinary results.

She's been featured on TODAY, Good Morning America, Oprah, and more. Otting wrote "Wonderhell" because she found herself living through it.

When she published “Limitless,” it debuted at No. 2 on the Washington Post bestseller list, right behind Michelle Obama.

Author, Catalyst, and Executive Coach Laura Gassner Otting inspires people to push past the doubt and indecision that keep great ideas in limbo by helping audiences think bigger and accept greater challenges that reach beyond their current, limited scope of belief. She delivers strategic thinking, well-honed wisdom, and perspective generated by decades of navigating change across the start-up, corporate, nonprofit, political, as well as philanthropic landscapes. Laura dares audiences to find their voice, and generate the confidence needed to tackle larger-than-life challenges by helping them to seek new ways of leading, managing, and mentoring others. Laura's rebellious and entrepreneurial edge has been well-honed over a 25-year career that started when she dropped out of law school to join an unknown southern governor's presidential campaign, and ended up as a Presidential Appointee in Bill Clinton's White House, where she helped shape AmeriCorps.   She left a leadership role as the youngest Vice President at a nationally respected search firm when she realized that her boss's definition of success didn't align with hers and, instead, founded and ran one of the fastest growing search firms in the country, partnering with the full gamut of mission-driven executives, from start-up dreamers to scaling social entrepreneurs to global philanthropists. In 2015, Laura sold that firm to the team who helped her build it, both because she was hungry for the next chapter and because she held an audacious dream of electing our nation's first female president. (Whomp whomp.) Since that time, Laura has appeared regularly on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show, and her writing has been seen in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, HR Magazine. Laura is the author of Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life (2019), which debuted at #2 on the Washington Post bestseller list (right behind Michelle Obama), has been translated into Arabic, Korean, Turkish, Portuguese, and German, and which Good Morning America's Robin Roberts chose as one of her Favorite Books of 2019, as well as Mission-Driven: Moving from Profit to Purpose (2015). Her newest book is Wonderhell. Through her own commitment to give back, Laura has helped build a local Montessori school, co-founded a women's philanthropic initiative, advised a start-up national women's PAC, grew a citizen-leadership development program, and completed five charity-inspired marathons, projects emblematic of her passions and values. She's turned on by the audacity of The Big Idea and that larger-than-life goal you just can't seem to shake. She's an instigator, a motivator, and a provocateur, and she's never met a revolution she didn't like, just ask her enduringly patient husband, two almost-grown sons, and troublesome puppy with whom she lives outside of Boston, MA. www.wonderhellbook.com

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.  This week I'm excited to bring you an episode of What's Next! Podcast with a dear friend of mine, Laura Gassner Otting. For this episode, I'm sharing my February 22nd LinkedIn Live chat with Laura as we dive into the tricky territory that lies between success and happiness. Laura Gassner Otting's rebellious and entrepreneurial edge has been well-honed over a 25-year career that started when she dropped out of law school to join an unknown southern governor's presidential campaign, and ended up as a Presidential Appointee in Bill Clinton's White House, where she helped shape AmeriCorps. She left a leadership role as the youngest Vice President at a nationally respected search firm when she realized that her boss's definition of success didn't align with hers and, instead, founded and ran one of the fastest-growing search firms in the country. In 2015, Laura sold that firm to the team who helped her build it and since that time, has appeared regularly on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show. Laura's writing has been seen in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, HR Magazine.  Laura is the author of Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life, Mission-Driven: Moving from Profit to Purpose, and is soon to release Wonderhell.  THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anybody trying to make sense of the emotion-filled limbo that lives between success and happiness.  TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… success can bring complicated emotions. On the one hand, it's exhilarating. On the other hand, we tend to quickly jump to the next goal and become overwhelmed or stressed about the rising challenge of the next steps. Laura explains how to navigate the “wonderhell” of this tension and find happiness in the process.  WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… the idea of being a student of the process. Approaching big moments with openness to learn gives us a great awareness of the wonder and possibilities around us.  Running time: 29:00 Subscribe on iTunes  Check out the LinkedIn Live Chat Find Tiffani on Social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Find Laura Online: Official Website Twitter LinkedIn Laura's Book: Wonderhell Laura's HBR Article:  Are You Pursuing Your Vision of Career Success — or Someone Else's?

Your intuition is your driving force. It warns you of danger, lets you know when to pivot, and signals the right thing to do. When you trust your intuition, you trust who you are and who you want to be.  When Connor Snyder trusted his intuition, it started his path to success. He leaned into the most aligned version of himself, even when that meant going against the grain of his family, friends, and community.  His experience also shed light on the powerful stories others have to share. Now a Co-Founder of Storyy, his company helps creators and business owners elevate how they share their stories online. They simplify the planning, creation, and management process so creators can focus on what's most important: showing up meaningfully and authentically. “Going against the grain gave me the muscles to do my own thing in business.” In this episode, you'll learn: How to carve your own path, even when it goes against the grain. Why entrepreneurs must trust their intuition. Why going viral shouldn't be the goal of your content. How Storyy simplifies the process for authentic high-value content. What happens when you truly commit to your dreams. To learn more check out  https://storyy.co and find Connor on linkedin   

With colds and bugs seemingly going around families and communities non-stop right now, Kelsi & Amanda felt it relevant to chat about the importance of taking a holistic approach to preventative wellness. We provide some education on the impact of excessive, unresolved stress on the body's immune system and functioning of other bodily systems. Then we explore ideas for other dimensions of wellness that are within our control to address, which may also have an impact on our ability to prevent and recover from illness.  **We are not medical doctors and are not sharing medical advice.

Laura Gassner Otting speaks with change agents, entrepreneurs, investors, leaders, and donors to get them past the doubt and indecision that consign their great ideas to limbo. Top 3 Value Bombs: 1. Ignore everyone else in your life who is defining success; figure out YOUR definition and your calling. 2. If you don't have goals that excite you, then you are not setting your goals high enough. 3. Figure out what you want and how you define success, and then lean into it.
