Podcasts about pivoting

I'm giving you permission to pivot!As I often say, marketing is testing. To test we need to put something out in the world and see if it's attracting the right people into our space,and that we're attracting them into whatever offer or promotion that we're creating in the future.While you're doing that testing, make sure you give yourself permission to pivot if you need to. Don't be emotionally attached to everything you put out there. Don't expect it to be a home run every time. It doesn't have to be perfect.Remember marketing is testing and it is okay to pivot.

In this bold and enlightening episode of Why Not Now?, Amy Jo Martin revisits her candid conversation with NYU professor, bestselling author, and entrepreneur Scott Galloway. Known for his unapologetic take on everything from tech monopolies to personal growth, Scott shares the pivotal “Why Not Now?” moment that led him to walk away from a successful life in San Francisco and start over in New York.   You'll learn how Scott evaluates major life decisions, why failure isn't fatal (but playing it safe might be), the keys to healthy relationships and a healthy life, and how to build your own "kitchen cabinet" of advisors for navigating change. He also unpacks the role of social media in shaping public discourse, the coming disruption in higher education, and why forgiveness - especially toward yourself - is a cornerstone of resilience.   Whether you're facing a career crossroads, feeling pressure to conform, or simply need a reset in how you approach risk and ambition, this episode delivers both perspective and practical takeaways. Scott's unfiltered insights and Amy Jo's thoughtful questions create a conversation that's as challenging as it is inspiring.   Learn more about Scott: https://www.profgalloway.com/   Get Amy Jo's newsletter: amyjomartin.com/newsletter Watch Amy Jo's Speaking Reel: amyjomartin.com/speaking Learn more about Renegade: www.renegade.global/ Learn more about the Renegade Accelerator: www.renegadeaccelerator.com   Follow Amy Jo…   Instagram: www.instagram.com/amyjomartin/ X/Twitter: twitter.com/amyjomartin Facebook: www.facebook.com/AmyJoMartin/ YouTube: www.youtube.com/@AmyJoMartinRenegade Why Not Now?

But behind the Hollywood glamour is a story of quiet courage, resilience, and reinvention.

After her ex-husband lost their money, Jane was on the brink of losing her home and forced to start over.

In this revealing episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Chris Paul dive deep into the carefully timed release of Biden's terminal prostate cancer diagnosis and the suspiciously aligned political narratives swirling around it. From the Her tapes and AutoPen scandal to Delaware's sudden euthanasia law, the hosts argue Biden is being prepped as a fall guy to shield the regime from broader corruption exposure. They discuss Trump's Truth Social posts on Biden as a puppet, the erosion of executive legitimacy, and Christina Bobb's bold take on testing AutoPen pardons. Pivoting to policy, they unpack Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” loaded with tax cuts, work requirements, and deficit reduction, while questioning the urgency and structure of its rollout. The duo applauds the Senate's surprise unanimous vote to eliminate taxes on tips and critique the bureaucratic waste exposed in the Department of Energy and Kennedy Center funding. Guest commentary from Elon Musk at a global summit adds extra heat, Musk warns of media manipulation, political violence, and globalist-backed sabotage. This episode connects the dots between financial corruption, narrative control, and symbolic communication. With humor, insight, and righteous skepticism, CannCon and Chris Paul paint a picture of a regime in retreat and a movement gaining momentum.

Kazi Ahmed took a small insight—seeing friends cash out from Amazon brands—and built Carbon6, a software roll-up startup, selling it for $210M just three years later. But behind the quick success was a frantic scramble to survive.

It's been nearly five years since Leader's Edge began the Falling Into It podcast. Our purpose is to interview up-and-coming insurance talent to find out why they chose this industry. These professionals have pivoted to insurance from careers on the fields of Major League Baseball and sailing the seas for the U.S. Coast Guard, to name just two. In this episode, we're going back to school. We meet two former teachers who went from education to employee benefits. First up is Casey Allsbrooks, an elementary school teacher and librarian for 29 years who recently jumped to working as an account manager at the Marsh McLennan Agency. Next, we meet Julia Lacoste, who taught middle school for two years before pivoting to insurance, where she works as an account manager at CBIZ. Both women share why they moved to the industry of risk. Their stories are a part of a larger narrative insurers may want to pay attention to: past educators being a great source of talent for the industry.

Pivoting is defined as “to completely change the way in which one does something.” For example, a career pivot is a planned, purposeful change in career direction. This can be a move to a related field, or to something completely new. Whatever path you decide to take, a pivot is a meaningful change that requires thought and careful planning. On today's episode, Tony Wechsler and Bridget Jones are going to discuss “the art of pivoting, a new path for a new you.”Bridget can be reached at: https://www.instagram.com/teacherpivotcoach/ or email her at teacherpivotcoach@outlook.com As always, you are invited to join the Strive to Thrive Facebook group for a supportive community.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/strivetothrivepage   BTW...If you love this episode, please take a screenshot, share it on your Facebook story and tag me @TonyWechsler And remember to download the eBook, Strive to Thrive at https://tonywcoaching.com/

What if being overlooked was the best thing that ever happened to your business? When Wandra Cain walked into showrooms and got ignored, she didn't flinch—she made a mental note. That “Pretty Woman” moment stuck with her, not as a grievance, but as fuel. She'd always had a sharp eye and a natural gift for pulling beauty out of limitation, but that experience sharpened her resolve to create a design business that didn't ask for permission to be taken seriously. She built WCA Interiors from the ground up, not with flashy backing or a big team, but with intention, consistency, and a deep belief that her work belonged, regardless of who initially acknowledged it. Her journey started with pivots. From corporate desk jobs to cosmetology school, and eventually to earning her interior design degree while working full-time, she followed the tug toward creativity even when the path forward looked unclear. Early projects tested her—contractors challenged her decisions, budgets fell apart, and she didn't always know how to protect her time or profit. But instead of hiding the hard parts, she leaned in. Every mistake became a tool. Every misstep taught her how to run a better project, have firmer boundaries, and value her own expertise. What really sets Wandra apart is her ability to show up with humility and confidence at the same time. She leads projects with warmth, listens deeply to clients, and isn't afraid to say no when the fit or the numbers are off. Even with over 11,000 Instagram followers, she's more focused on building genuine relationships—online and off—than chasing engagement. For her, design isn't about ego or aesthetic signatures; it's about helping people feel truly at home in their spaces. The business didn't happen overnight. It was ten years of quiet hustle, small wins, big learning curves, and showing up again the next day. You'll learn: ✅ How to lead projects (and set boundaries) when contractors push back ✅ Why visibility matters—and how Wandra handled being underestimated ✅ Systems and client processes that helped her turn a hobby into a real business ✅ What she's doing now to market her firm without burning out on Instagram If you're an interior designer looking to grow a business that reflects who you are—and makes money doing it—this is the episode that's going to help you get there. Listen now and remember: being underestimated might be your greatest edge.   (0:00) The “Pretty Woman” moment that shaped Wandra's mindset (0:50) Wandra's origin story and entering the interior design world (4:40) Why representation in the design industry matters (12:30) Pivoting from cosmetology to design and going back to school (15:50) Learning the hard way: pricing, client management, and early business mistakes (22:40) Building confidence and refining systems and client processes (30:50) Grassroots marketing, networking, and digital growth   About Wandra Cain Wandra Cain is the founder and principal designer of WCA Interiors, a full-service interior design firm based in Easton, Pennsylvania. With a focus on creating refined yet livable luxury, Wandra believes that a well-designed home should serve as a sanctuary, capturing the spirit of the client and enhancing their lifestyle. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, ensuring each space reflects its inhabitants' unique personalities and needs. Website Instagram: @wcainteriors

Feeling like something needs to change in your life or business—but unsure whether to pivot or push through? In this episode, Nicole explores that tricky space between staying the course and making a bold change, and how Human Design can help you find the clarity you've been searching for.

Nothing is better than a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to recap the weekend and start your week. On the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys discussed the Oilers' need for a win in Game 4, playoff shenanigans in the city, and much more.The boys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics around the Oilers' second round matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. After losing Game 3 in the most painful fashion imaginable, the pressure is on Edmonton to turn things around or risk losing the advantage they built by winning the first two matchups. Even though this isn't a must-win game in the literal sense, it certainly feels like it in the spiritual sense. Changing gears, producer Eli jumped onto the podcast to tell the story about our intern Padon getting kicked out of the Moss Pit for allegedly sneaking alcohol in. The problem with their theory, of course, is that Padon doesn't drink. Not only does he not drink alcohol, but the guy was wearing shorts and didn't have a bag of any type that would allow him even to try. Pivoting once again, Chalmers wanted to talk about banana cream pies after he crushed one over the weekend from Duchess Bake Shop. That led to a discussion about baking in general, including everyone's love of fresh bread with butter. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a Game 4 preview ahead of Monday's game against Vegas, and how there are a couple of line combo changes that have people raising an eyebrow. Talking line combos led to some betting talk for our friends at bet365, before wrapping up with the podcast with another run of random topics.

Description: She's become a leading voice in the culinary world and today stars as the lead host of the same cooking competition show that launched her career. Kristen Kish was eliminated from Bravo's season 10 of Top Chef, only to make a triumphant return through a Last Chance Kitchen opportunity that cleared the way for her to beat out the remaining competition and win the season.  Since that 2013 victory, Kristen has been everywhere – launching a new restaurant, Arlo Grey, in Jen's hometown of Austin (and another restaurant opening soon in New York), hosting some of our favorite food shows including Kitchens at the End of the World, Iron Chef, and now Top Chef (the student has become the teacher). She's also flexing a new muscle as an author. In her new book, Accidentally on Purpose, Kristen shares her story of being born in South Korea and adopted into a loving white, midwestern American family and what it was like for her to navigate her identity in all of its racial, sexual and professional contexts. Ultimately, what defines Kristen's story is how she learned to find her voice and use it and, while accidents may be unexpected, they don't have to be at odds with our purpose.  Our conversation today covers:  Pivoting, embracing change, and building a life that is truthful and authentic How the road to success was so much more winding and complicated than it may have appeared from the outside Knowing internally that it's time to make a change or take a new step forward How it's the behind-the-scenes, off camera moments that nobody sees where the decisions and discoveries are made, where the unexpected meets the intentional, and where things get really interesting. Battling imposter syndrome and burnout and quieting the voice of doubt How life's best opportunities often come from embracing the unexpected Thought-provoking Quotes: “I figured out that I don't need to be anything other than myself. I figured out I don't need to replicate somebody else's way of doing something. My voice matters.” – Kristen Kish “I think a lot of the nurture is in my personal life and a lot of the nature is in my professional life, because I can't tell you why I'm good at certain things. I didn't have to practice holding a knife. I didn't practice putting together flavors. It just came to me.” – Kristen Kish  “For a long time, I didn't know myself at all. I was too scared. I didn't want to know. I was scared of knowing where I came from because what if I found out something absolutely horrible? Sometimes you just don't want to know. And I've had to come to terms with getting to know all the really good things about myself that really have helped me move forward in life, but also really understanding the things that make me a challenge.” – Kristen Kish I wish I would have chosen Bravo over Twitter ten years ago. – Amy Hardin Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Top Chef - https://www.bravotv.com/top-chef Bravo! - https://www.bravotv.com/ Accidentally on Purpose by Kristen Kish - https://amzn.to/4iJQy04 Feed These People: Slam-Dunk Recipes for Your Crew by Jen Hatmaker -  Arlo Grey restaurant - https://www.thelinehotel.com/austin/restaurants-bars/arlo-grey/ Stef Ferrari, food writer - https://www.theycallmeferrari.com/ferrari-here Charlotte Rose Coleman, fashion stylist - https://www.charlotterosecoleman.com/ Guest's Links: Website - https://www.thelinehotel.com/magazine/meet-atx-family-kristen-kish/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kristenlkish/ Twitter - https://x.com/kristenlkish?lang=en Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/KristenLKish/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@kristenlkish Connect with Jen!

We’re back with another episode of TBGU and joined by another very special guest. Nia Symone is a powerhouse who knows all about pivoting with purpose. A former D1 athlete turned rising star in sports broadcasting, she is proof that your story doesn’t end when the game clock runs out, it evolves. In this episode, Nia opens up about the identity shift that came with stepping away from competitive sports, how she built a new lane in media, and the importance of showing up as her full, authentic self in an industry that hasn’t always made space for voices like hers. We’re talking about self-discovery, representation, and redefining what it means to be a woman in sports. So whether you’re an athlete, a creative, or someone standing at the edge of your next chapter, this one’s for you.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is change your mind — even when the world tells you to stay the same. In this solo episode, I'm breaking down the real reason we feel guilty for pivoting, why growth demands that we reassess, and how to trust yourself even when you're making a move nobody else understands. If you've been holding onto something that doesn't fit anymore — a job, a plan, a version of yourself — this is your reminder: You're allowed to change. Changing your mind doesn't mean you're lost. It means you're listening. This is your permission slip to trust your next chapter — even before you can explain it.

This is a special inbetweenisode, which serves as a recap of the episodes from last month.
