Podcasts about finding direction

Why do we feel directionless or disconnected from what matters most? Jesus teaches, it's not because God is silent—but because we're tuned to competing voices that lead us away from life. This teaching is about learning to discern those voices, quiet the noise, and rediscover the path that leads to something real, whole, and life-giving.  Text John 10

While we often think of life as linear, my guest's own life, along with a decade of research, has taught him that it's anything but. In his latest book, What to Make of a Life, Jim Collins unpacks the cyclical pattern life actually unfolds in, and how to navigate it. He explains how we all go through periods of “fog” — times of disorientation and uncertainty — at least three times: in youth, after a life-changing “cliff” event, and as we move through midlife into older age. We find our way out of these fogs by what Jim calls coming into “frame” — aligning what you're built to do with what you actually do in a way that feels enlivening and meaningful. And Jim unpacks the three elements that help you find, and re-find, this frame over the course of your life.Along the way, Jim shares case studies of these principles at work, and we explore the role of luck, the inevitability of drudgery (even in work you love), and how to keep your inner fire lit over the long haul.Resources Related to the PodcastGood to Great by Jim CollinsAll Rise: The Remarkable Journey of Alan Page by Bill McGraneSelf-Renewal: The Individual and the Innovative Society by John W.

Fluent Fiction - Korean: Finding Direction in a Snowy Namiseom Journey Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ko/episode/2026-02-24-08-38-20-ko Story Transcript:Ko: 눈이 하얗게 내린 남이섬.En: The snow was falling white on Namiseom.Ko: 길게 늘어선 나무들이 마치 환상의 숲처럼 펼쳐져 있다.En: The long rows of trees stretched out like a magical forest.Ko: 설날의 불빛들이 섬을 따뜻하게 밝히고, 작은 조명들이 반짝이고 있었다.En: The lights for the Seollal celebration warmly illuminated the island, and small lights were twinkling.Ko: 두 사람이 고요히 눈 덮인 길을 걷고 있었다.En: Two people were quietly walking along a snow-covered path.Ko: 지원은 서울에서 대학교에 다니고 있다.En: Ji-won attends university in Seoul.Ko: 요즘 그녀는 미래가 불안했다.En: Lately, she had been anxious about her future.Ko: 하고 싶은 것도 명확하지 않았고, 자신이 잘할 수 있는 것이 무엇인지도 모호했다.En: She was unclear about what she wanted to do, and it was vague what she was good at.Ko: 반면에 민호는 미국에서 성공한 창업가가 되어 오랜만에 가족들과 만날 수 있었다.En: In contrast, Min-ho had become a successful entrepreneur in the United States and was able to meet his family after a long time.Ko: 그를 보면 가족들은 자랑스러워했고, 지원은 그를 보며 자신이 왜 이렇게 갈피를 못 잡는지 더 답답했다.En: His family felt proud when they saw him, and Ji-won felt even more frustrated as to why she couldn't find her direction by watching him.Ko: 가족 모임도 좋았지만, 지원의 마음은 복잡했다.En: While the family gathering was nice, Ji-won's mind was complicated.Ko: "민호 오빠가 너무 멋지다"는 친척들의 말에 지원은 고개를 끄덕였다.En: When her relatives said, "Min-ho oppa is so impressive," Ji-won nodded her head.Ko: 하지만 속으론 "나도 그런 칭찬을 받을 날이 올까?"라는 생각으로 가득 차 있었다.En: But inside she was filled with the thought, "Will a day come when I receive such compliments?"Ko: 설날 분위기가 무르익으며 하루가 지났다. 지원은 민호와 눈 덮인 남이섬 길을 걸을 기회를 얻었다.En: As the atmosphere of Seollal reached its peak and the day passed, Ji-won got a chance to walk on the snow-covered path of Namiseom with Min-ho.Ko: 둘만의 대화 시간이 마련된 것이다.En: It was an opportunity for a conversation just between the two of them.Ko: 마침내 그녀는 민호에게 자신의 고민을 털어놓기로 했다.En: Finally, she decided to confide her worries to Min-ho.Ko: "오빠, 요즘 고민이 많아." 지원의 목소리는 떨렸다.En: "oppa, I have a lot on my mind these days," Ji-won's voice trembled.Ko: 민호는 눈길을 멈추고 그녀를 바라보았다. "말해봐, 지원아."En: Min-ho stopped in his tracks and looked at her. "Tell me, Ji-won."Ko: 눈 내린 길, 차가운 공기 속에서 지원은 용기를 냈다.En: In the snow-laden path and the cold air, Ji-won mustered up the courage.Ko: 성공한 민호에게 자신의 두려움과 실패에 대한 불안을 토로한 것이다.En: She opened up about her fears and anxiety about failure to the successful Min-ho.Ko: 기대에 부응하지 못할까봐 두렵다는 말도 덧붙였다.En: She added that she was afraid of not living up to expectations.Ko: 민호는 잠시 생각에 잠기다, 부드러운 미소를 지었다.En: Min-ho pondered for a moment and then gave a gentle smile.Ko: "나는 미국에 갔을 때 정말 많은 실패를 했어.En: "When I went to the United States, I failed many times.Ko: 매번 성공한 건 아니야.En: I didn't succeed every time.Ko: 중요한 건 내가 나아가고 있다는 거, 그리고 그 과정에서 배우고 있다는 거야."En: What's important is that I'm moving forward, and I'm learning in the process."Ko: 지원을 바라보는 민호의 눈빛은 따뜻했다.En: The gaze Min-ho gave Ji-won was warm.Ko: "지원아, 시간을 갖고 천천히 찾아가도 괜찮아.En: "Ji-won, it's okay to take your time and find your way slowly.Ko: 네 인생이잖아."En: It's your life, after all."Ko: 지원은 민호의 말에 마음이 가라앉았다.En: Ji-won felt her mind calm down at Min-ho's words.Ko: 그녀는 자신에게 주어진 시간 속에서 천천히 자신만의 길을 찾기로 했다.En: She decided to slowly find her own path within the time given to her.Ko: 민호와의 대화를 통해 그녀는 자신감을 얻었고, 더 강해진 자신을 느낄 수 있었다.En: Through the conversation with Min-ho, she gained confidence and felt stronger.Ko: 남이섬을 나서며 둘은 함께 눈발을 맞으며 걸었다.En: As they left Namiseom, the two walked together under the falling snowflakes.Ko: 긴 대화 속에서 둘은 서로에 대한 이해와 신뢰를 쌓았고, 지원은 더 이상 남과 비교하는 것이 아닌 자기만의 길을 걷기로 결심했다.En: Through their long conversation, they built understanding and trust in each other, and Ji-won resolved to walk her own path rather than comparing herself to others.Ko: 눈 내린 남이섬을 뒤로하며 지원은 그 어느 때보다도 차분한 마음으로 앞으로의 시간을 맞이했다.En: Leaving behind the snowy Namiseom, Ji-won faced the future with a calmer heart than ever before.

Some people move through life by following a plan. Others move forward by paying attention to what holds their interest.   Today's guest, David Litt, spent more than three decades in the U.S. Foreign Service, working and living around the world. Along the way, he built a life shaped by language, learning, and a deep interest in how people and cultures function.   After retiring from government service, David didn't step away from engagement. Instead, he found new ways to teach, mentor, and share what he's learned, proving that purpose doesn't end when a career does.   In this episode, we covered:   What first drew David toward languages and life abroad How curiosity shaped his path into the Foreign Service The realities of representing the U.S. in unfamiliar places One early experience that changed how he viewed diplomacy Why teaching became a natural next chapter after retirement David's advice for staying intellectually engaged later in life  

What do you do when the job you were sure was your “dream job” suddenly ends? That's the spot Ashley Jablow found herself in, and she joins Chris Sandland on this episode of Career Can Do to talk about how that moment knocked the wind out of her and also ended up opening an entirely new path. Today, she runs Wayfinders Collective, but the journey there definitely wasn't a straight line. Ashley shares how she gave herself 60 days to sort out her next move, only to reach the end of that timeline feeling totally stuck. Then, on a red-eye flight where she couldn't sleep, the phrase “creative wayfinding” popped into her mind. She didn't know exactly what it meant yet, but it captured the feeling of navigating life without a map. That idea eventually became the heart of the work she does now. One thing she and Chris laugh about is how people always say they want clarity, when really they're hoping for certainty - and certainty just doesn't exist. Ashley encourages people to take small steps instead of waiting for some big, perfect answer. You learn by moving. She also talks about how important it is to get out of your own head when you're stuck. A coach once told her to put her job search away for a few weeks and do things that actually brought her joy. It sounded ridiculous at first, but it changed everything. Chris chimes in with his own version of that - taking ten minutes to clean something when his brain feels scrambled - because somehow that simple shift resets his whole mood. Ashley also shares the story behind her 100 Days of Designing My Life journals, a pandemic project that started with watercolor postcards and turned into guided reflection tools people now use all over the place.

Welcome to PGX Raw & Real PGX Raw & Real is simple. I sit with people who've lived through something and/or made it big, and I try to understand what it did to them.Sometimes it gets deep, sometimes it gets weird, sometimes we end up laughing at stories that should've gone very differently just like how real conversations go.This isn't meant to be inspiration or a template for life (for that, you can check out PGX Ideas).This space is different. It's their story, as they experienced it.In this episode I spoke to — Jordan Jonas - one of the leading survivalists and the winner of ALONE Season 6.Timestamps:00:00 - Story he hasn't told anyone08:55 - Jordan on Thrill & Survival 15:58 - His exp. of living in Siberia 22:48 - Hardest Moments on Alone28:41 - Ki*ling a Moose for Survival 33:15 - First Experience of Hunting 45:35 - Has He Ever Seen a Yeti46:40 - He got attacked by wolverine48:56 - Surviving 66 Days alone in Arctic 54:24 - Diff b/w Loneliness & Solitude 56:40 - Living on Trains for 8 Years 01:01:04 - The Problem With Social Media 01:04:25 - What's so special about Himalayas 01:06:53 - Finding Direction in the Jungle01:09:16 - Seeing the Northern Lights 01:13:32 - His Future Plans 01:17:42 - Question for PrakharEnjoy. — Prakhar

Send Jay comments via textWhen your children launch or your career ends, a strange silence can set in—and with it, the big question: What's Next? In this inspiring episode, Jack Calhoun, founder of Encore Career Lab, shares a hopeful, practical path from drifting to purposeful direction. He discusses how many of us face an identity crunch when titles no longer define us—and how to use agency, values, and curiosity to craft a second act that truly fits.Jack unpacks the paradox of choice—why having too many options can stall momentum—and offers a straightforward antidote: start with your why and non-negotiables, identify your caring audience, and run small, low-risk experiments. He emphasizes that purpose often follows action, not the other way around, and shows how both career-related and unrelated paths can thrive if your heart is in it.This conversation challenges outdated retirement scripts, reframing work as a fulfilling, energizing part of life's ongoing journey. Expect honest talk about fear, ego, and indecision, along with tactical advice on surfacing your “wisdom fingerprint,” setting boundaries, and testing new ideas without risking everything.  Key takeaways:  The rise of entrepreneurship among ages 55-64Identity enmeshment with career and parentingFinding purpose through purposeful actionDefining your core values and non-negotiables firstJack Calhoun BioJack J. Calhoun is the founder of Encore Career Lab and a seasoned entrepreneur with over two decades of experience managing a wealth management firm. After selling his business, Jack faced his own post-retirement questions about purpose and fulfillment, inspiring him to help others navigate similar transitions. He specializes in guiding high achievers—particularly those aged 50 and above—toward designing meaningful second careers that blend passion, impact, and income. Through his insights and frameworks, Jack empowers professionals to turn uncertainty into opportunity and create purpose-driven encore careers that enrich their lives well beyond traditional retirement.Find Jack Online: LinkedIn, WebsiteSupport the showBECOME A VIP SUBSCRIBER (Join Today!)

"민지야, 나 요즘 많이 혼란스러워. 내 미래가 어떻게 될지 모르겠어."En: Jinwoo sighed and said, "Minji, I'm so confused these days. I don't know what my future holds."Ko: 민지는 잠시 생각하더니, 진우를 밝혔다. "나도 힘들어. 부모님 기대가 너무 커서 가끔은 숨이 막힐 것 같아. 겉으로는 자신감 넘쳐 보이지만, 속은 그렇지 않아."En: Minji thought for a moment and then confided in Jinwoo. "I'm struggling too. My parents' expectations are so high that sometimes I feel suffocated. I may look confident on the outside, but inside, it's not like that."Ko: 진우는 민지의 말을 듣고 놀랐다.En: Jinwoo was surprised to hear Minji's words.Ko: 그는 자신이 혼자가 아니었다는 사실에 안도감을 느꼈다.En: He felt relieved knowing that he wasn't alone.Ko: "그래도 우리 같은 고민을 함께 나눌 수 있어서 다행이야. 나의 고민도 조금씩 풀릴 것 같아."En: "I'm glad we can share these worries together. I feel like my troubles might start to unravel little by little."Ko: 공룡 전시관을 지나며 두 친구는 더 많은 이야기를 나누었다.En: As they passed the dinosaur exhibit, the two friends shared more stories.Ko: 진우는 자신이 하고 싶은 일들을 하나씩 생각해 보기로 결심했다.En: Jinwoo decided to think about the things he really wanted to do.Ko: 더 이상 다른 사람의 기대에 얽매이지 않기로 했다.En: He resolved not to be entangled in other people's expectations anymore.Ko: 민지도 진우와 이야기를 나누며 자신의 고민을 털어놓고 나니 마음이 한결 가벼워였다.En: Minji also felt much lighter after sharing her concerns with Jinwoo.Ko: 박물관을 나서며 진우는 미소를 지었다. 가을 햇살이 따뜻했다.En: As they left the museum, Jinwoo smiled. The autumn sunshine was warm.Ko: 진우는 마음속 여유를 찾고 있었다.En: Jinwoo found a sense of peace within himself.Ko: 그는 자신만의 길을 찾을 수 있다는 희망을 품고 있었다.En: He harbored hope that he could find his own path.Ko: 이제는 두려움 없이 친구들과 함께 이야기하며, 차근차근 자신의 미래를 그려 나갈 용기가 생겼다.En: Now, without fear, he had the courage to talk with friends and carefully map out his future.Ko: 진우는 민지를 바라보며 말했다. "고마워, 민지야. 네 덕분에 나 혼자가 아니라는 걸 알았어."En: Jinwoo looked at Minji and said, "Thank you, Minji. Thanks to you, I realized I'm not alone."Ko: 그날 이후로 진우는 더 이상 혼자가 아니었다.En: From that day on, Jinwoo was no longer alone.Ko: 친구와 함께라면, 무엇이든 할 수 있다는 자신감을 얻었다.En: With a friend by his side, he gained the confidence that he could do anything.Ko: 가을의 소중한 하루는 그렇게 따뜻한 우정 속에 저물어 갔다.En: The precious autumn day faded away in the warmth of friendship.

Finding Direction By Cleaving by Pastor Stacey ShiflettText: Ruth 1: 1-18August 17, 2025 - 11AM

Have you ever felt that nagging urge to grow and transform without knowing exactly where you're headed?  That uncomfortable space between knowing you need change and not having a clear destination can feel like being lost at sea – eager to move but unsure which direction leads to land.  Drawing from my coaching experience and personal journey, this episode unveils a powerful alternative to traditional goal-setting that works brilliantly during times of transition and uncertainty. Rather than forcing yourself to define an end destination you genuinely can't envision, I share how creating "pacts" – short-term, focused commitments to specific actions – can provide structure, learning, and forward momentum.  You'll discover how one CEO I'm working with reclaimed control of his days through a simple 5-minute morning practice, and how a senior professional navigating career transition used targeted exploration to uncover her path forward. I outline the 4 essential elements that make pacts effective. This approach transforms vague aspirations like "get better at ..." into concrete actions that generate real insights.  Whether you're reimagining your career, pivoting your business, or simply feeling called toward something new without knowing what, this episode offers a practical framework for progress.  By embracing experimentation and committing to process over predetermined outcomes, you'll learn how to navigate uncertainty with confidence, curiosity, and purpose. What tiny experiment might unlock your next chapter?  Listen and find out how to start moving forward, even when the destination remains unclear.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First Change Leadership & Culture Transformation ConsultantEXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH

"The Way, The Truth, and The Life" – Power and Promise In this message, Pastor Matt explores Jesus' declaration in John 14:6: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Set during Jesus' final moments with His disciples before His crucifixion, this sermon reveals how Jesus used Jewish wedding customs to illustrate His relationship with believers. Just as a Jewish bridegroom would prepare a place for his bride and return for her, Jesus promises to prepare heavenly dwellings for His followers and come back for them. Key Insights: * Jesus doesn't just show us a path—He IS the destination * Christianity isn't about religious performance but about "knowing, growing, and walking closer with Jesus, our eternal Savior" * From our first breath of faith to our final earthly moment, our relationship with Christ should be growing more intimate * Jesus patiently addresses His disciples' confusion and questions, showing us how He meets us in our uncertainty Key Scripture: John 14 (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.14.NIV) This message concludes with an invitation for believers who haven't yet been baptized to take this first step of obedience in their Christian walk. As Jesus tells His troubled disciples: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms... I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."

Self-Leadership and Responsibility: Taking 100% responsibility for one's life and decisions is crucial. Individuals often fall into a victim mindset, blaming others for their circumstances instead of recognizing their own power to change. Awareness of Thoughts: Becoming aware of "should" statements and self-judgment is the first step toward personal growth. By questioning these thoughts without judgment, individuals can begin to understand their true desires and motivations. BEST MOMENTS "Being a woman in midlife means I know of a fair few women in midlife... there's a kind of sense of more sense of identity that comes up." "A lot of it is very quite simply, it starts off with they say, I feel like I've lost my confidence." "When you first start to notice those thoughts, you're going to be alarmed by the frequency with which they come up." "Stop trying to fix yourself and start living. Just start living."
