Podcasts about reinventing

Shaun Cassidy is a true creative multi-hyphenate whose career spans music, television, theater, and storytelling. First rising to fame as one of the biggest teen idols of the late 1970s, Shaun signed with Warner Brothers Records while still in high school, released three multi-platinum albums, earned a Grammy nomination, and performed in sold-out venues like Madison Square Garden and the Houston Astrodome — all while starring in the iconic ABC series The Hardy Boys Mysteries. Behind the scenes, Shaun quietly reinvented himself as one of television's most respected writers and producers. His work includes creating and producing critically acclaimed series such as American Gothic, Roar, Cold Case, The Agency, Invasion, Emerald City, and New Amsterdam, which completed a powerful five-year run on NBC and Netflix. In this conversation, Shaun reflects on the courage it takes to evolve beyond early success, what reinvention really looks like over a multi-decade career, and why creativity has no expiration date. He also opens up about returning to live performance in 2020 with his one-man show The Magic of a Midnight Sky, the grounding role family has played in his life, and what legacy means to him now. This episode is an honest, thoughtful look at reinvention, purpose, and the power of staying connected to who you're becoming. In this episode, we talk about: • Rising to fame as a teen idol and navigating success at a young age • Balancing music, television, and public life simultaneously • Reinventing a career behind the scenes as a writer and producer • The creative leap from performer to storyteller • Why compassion-driven stories resonate so deeply today • Returning to live performance after nearly 40 years • The role family plays in grounding long-term success • Redefining purpose and legacy beyond career milestones • Why it's never too late to begin again creatively Connect with Shaun Cassidy: Official website https://www.shauncassidy.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shauncassidyofficial Learn more about New Amsterdam https://www.nbc.com/new-amsterdam

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're starting the year with an audacious question: what if we reinvented one of the most basic materials in the world?Decarbonizing the built environment means tackling the stuff we use everywhere — wood, concrete, and steel — at the same time we're trying to build millions of new homes, strengthen supply chains, and reduce our exposure to geopolitical and climate risk. That's a tall order. But it's also unavoidable.My guest is Nathan Silvernail, co-founder and CEO of Plantd, a company building a tree-free, carbon-negative alternative to engineered wood. Designed as a drop-in replacement for OSB (oriented strand board), Plantd's material looks and behaves like conventional wood — but without cutting down trees. And they're not stopping at the material itself: Plantd is building the machines, manufacturing process, and agricultural supply chain needed to produce it at scale.We talk about:Why “sustainable wood” isn't always as sustainable as it soundsWhy trees can't scale fast enough to meet demand and climate goalsWhat it takes to replace a commodity material without asking builders to change how they buildThe co-benefits: turning waste into biochar and high-purity carbon for adjacent industrial marketsThe hard realities of scaling hardware, agriculture, and manufacturing at the same timeLINKS:Plantd: https://www.plantdmaterials.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show:https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/Visit our sponsor, Climatize, and get $50 in investment credits when you create a profile!

What happens when the very idea of "success" you've chased your whole life suddenly disappears? Maybe you're standing at a career crossroads and wondering, "Who am I if I'm not climbing the next mountain?" The pressure to "level up" can be exhausting. If you're feeling that nudge to redefine success and finally build a life that feels like yours, this episode is for you. Meet Kevin Lingg, founder of Loaded Dough Cookie Co. After more than 20 years in leadership roles, Kevin's life and career took an unexpected turn. He lost his job. And like many of us, he thought the next step was to find another one, a bigger role, a new challenge, another title.  Underneath that drive was a lot of ego. At the time, Kevin had a cookie business, a small, joyful side venture he couldn't imagine turning into his next chapter. It felt too small. But eventually, he let go of what success was supposed to look like and started asking a different question — What if smaller could actually mean freer? Kevin shares what he's learned about redefining identity, letting go of ego to embrace a more fulfilling path, and applying decades of leadership lessons when you are your own team of one.  We're not romanticizing loss or glossing over real fears about money, ego, and uncertainty. We're exploring what it means to redefine success on your own terms, without burning the boats or taking risks that don't fit your wiring.   Chapter Highlights (00:00) What happens when everything you've built your identity around suddenly disappears? (03:50) How we get caught in the trap of leveling up and achieving "more" (05:51) How smart money moves create future options (10:22) Turning "just a fun project" into a sustainable business without all the pressure (20:10) The mindset shift Kevin made about his own value (21:36) Kevin's step-by-step, low-risk approach to creating a business that fit his life (26:16) What to do when you're feeling the nudge to leave your corporate role   Connect with Kevin Lingg https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinlingg/ https://loadeddough.com/   About Andrea Butcher Andrea Butcher is a visionary business leader, executive coach, and keynote speaker—she empowers leaders to gain clarity through the chaos by being MORE of who they already are.

For decades, snack companies believed Americans wanted everything sweeter.More sugar. More chocolate. More indulgence.But what if that assumption was wrong?In this episode, a mother-daughter team set out to make a sleeker version of a chocolate almond— and nearly lose everything in the process.Val Griffith was a longtime TV producer in Seattle. Her daughter Breezy was bouncing between failing business ideas in Miami and New York. When a family tragedy brought Breezy back home, the two began talking about food, snacking, and why chocolate-covered almonds were always so… overdone.Their insight was deceptively simple: what if you used less sugar, not fake sugar — and a thin coating of chocolate instead of a fat one? Turning that idea into SkinnyDipped meant years of failed experiments, dipping almonds by hand, manufacturing out of a converted chicken coop, and demoing almonds one by one. When they finally got a breakthrough order from Target, they faced a near-disaster: 40,000 pounds of rancid almonds. What followed was a frantic race to save the deal — and later, a far more dangerous question: is this business ever going to make it?WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How failing at micro-businesses quietly builds founder skillWhy manufacturing is often the biggest obstacle in food startupsThe nail-biting risk of saying yes to Target too earlyHow growth can mask deeply broken economicsWhat it takes to fix a business when funding disappearsTIMESTAMPS: 00:07:25 - How Breezy's early forays into the food business failed — and why they mattered.00:11:00 - How a family loss brought Breezy and her mom together — and changed the direction of their lives 00:21:07 - Reinventing a stale bulk-bin snack: The road-trip conversations that sparked a new recipe: 00:31:20 - The Home Depot paint sprayer experiment: A brilliant idea that failed spectacularly.00:38:56 - SkinnyDipped's first “facility:” one oven, no heat, no hot water 00:49:28 - How a chance meeting in a bar changed the company's trajectory00:55:41 - Target takes the plunge and SkinnyDipped nearly drowns: how a chain-wide launch almost breaks the business01:7:47 - Growth without profit: How the founders recover after hitting rock bottom01:21:44 - The mother-daughter equation: wisdom + jet fuel01:26:13 - Small Business Spotlight —-----------------------Hey—want to be a guest on HIBT?If you're building a business, why not get advice from some of the greatest entrepreneurs on Earth?Every Thursday on the HIBT Advice Line, a previous HIBT guest helps new entrepreneurs work through the challenges they're facing right now.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Sangha Penesetti, founder and CEO of goZeal, who didn't just break the glass ceiling—she installed a flexible skylight. Today we'll dive into the economics of equity, why flexible work is not a perk but a performance driver, and how insurers can win by rethinking who gets a seat at the table—and how that table is set. KEY TAKEAWAYS In my early career, every client meeting I walked into was a room full of men. I was the only woman of colour. When I became a mother in 2010 I felt first-hang how unforgiving the industry was, there was no real flexibility, no empathy around new mums (though that may have just been the company I worked for then), and certainly no system that was designed for working mums. During Covid I found my own community: Brilliant, highly educated women, especially Indian and Asian mums, step out of the workforce to raise kids and never return. Not because they lacked ambition, but because the system simply wasn't build for them. That's the moment I realised it wasn't an individual struggle but a systemic design flaw, that's when goZeal was born. We talk about empowerment a lot, but what is empowerment? It‘s the financial empowerment, the capacity for women to have the money to spend on whatever they want be that a Gucci bag or feeding their kids. The data is clear: When women (and especially women of colour) advance, companies become more innovative and perform better financially.  BEST MOMENTS  ‘My experience taught me that being included isn't the same as being empowered.'  ‘Radical inclusion flips the dynamic. It's not about representation, it's about access to meaningful work decision-making authority and economic mobility.' ‘Remote work is not “flexibility.” Flexibility means flexibility of time. I wanted to hire women directly to give them the autonomy of time. Direct impact comes when you are the employer.' ‘True flexibility allows for peak productivity not proximity. When people work at their best insurers benefit from higher quality work, lower burnout, less attrition, stronger retention, all of that good stuff.' ABOUT THE GUEST Sangha Penesetti is the powerhouse founder and CEO of goZeal, a company rewriting the rules of work by directly hiring skilled women, especially women of colour, for high-impact, flexible roles in insurance and tech. With 18 years of experience in finance and insurance, she's lived the challenges of being the only woman at the table—and decided to build her own. Under her leadership, goZeal is more than a talent platform—it's a movement. One that's tackling systemic inequity, modernizing legacy operations, and showing insurers that flexible work is not a perk but a strategic edge. She's here to talk about the real economics of inclusion, why hybrid isn't enough, and how insurers can close talent gaps while building a future-ready workforce. ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur. She is the CEO and Managing Partner of Alchemy Crew a venture lab that accelerates the curation, validation, & commercialization of new tech business models. Sabine is renowned within the insurance sector for building some of the most renowned tech startup accelerators around the world working with over 30 corporate insurers, accelerated over 100 startup ventures.

Nick Talken started a 3D printing materials company in a trailer lab in his co-founder's backyard, sold it to a 145-year-old German chemical giant, then spun out an AI platform that's now transforming R&D for Fortune 100 companies. Albert Invent's foundational AI model—trained on 15 million molecular structures—is helping scientists at companies like Kenvue (maker of Tylenol, Neutrogena, and Listerine) compress projects from 3 months to 2 days.

From the end of the American Civil War to the start of World War II, the Protestant missionary movement unintentionally tilled the soil in which American Islamophobia would eventually take root. What ideas did missionaries in Islamic contexts pass on to later generations? How were these ideas connected to centuries-old Protestant discourses about Muslims and gender beginning in the Reformation? And what bearing does this history have on the birth of Islamophobia and on Christian-Muslim dialogue efforts in the US today? In answering these questions, Re-inventing Islam traces the gender constructs that have informed historical Protestant perceptions of Islam, especially in the far-reaching textual, visual, and material influences of the American and British movement for missions to Muslims. This book first considers Protestant discourse about Muslim women and men from the Reformation to the Enlightenment. Then it turns to the colossal archive of literature, images, and cultural objects that missionaries--and particularly missionary women--collected from Islamic contexts and used to inform and motivate their constituents.Anglo-Protestants in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries perpetually re-invented stereotypes about Muslims and used these negative images to achieve particular Protestant theological and political purposes, including missionary aims. They did so when disseminating gender critiques widely to Protestant men, women, and children. Why did they re-invent Islam? Deanna Ferree Womack argues that they did so to reinforce Protestant theological claims, to justify their evangelistic endeavors, to express both humanitarian concern and Eurocentric views of the world, and to support British and American cultural, economic, and military expansion. Simultaneously, however, this same missionary movement educated its constituents about diverse Islamic cultures, in part by providing humanizing images of Islam. Missionaries also formed personal relationships with Muslims that would open pathways toward formal efforts of Christian-Muslim dialogue after the mid-twentieth century. Americans have inherited all of these legacies. In revisiting this history readers will find new possibilities for building a more open and just future. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you know something in your career no longer fits—but you're unsure where to start—this episode is your wake-up call. In today's conversation on Life Beyond Clinical Practice, Dr Diane breaks down three decisive actions you can take right now to begin a meaningful, aligned career pivot. This isn't about vague reflection or waiting for clarity to magically arrive. It's about making intentional moves that create momentum toward your 2026 reinvention. Because here's the truth: If nothing changes this month, nothing changes next year. 1. Get Radically Clear on Your Direction Urgency: You cannot pivot into a vacuum. Without clarity, you will get lost. What this means: Your pivot needs a destination zone - not a fully mapped plan, but a clear sense of direction that everything else is built around. 2. Audit and Upgrade Your Career Assets Urgency: Your digital footprint is either working for you—or quietly holding you back. What this means: Your CV, LinkedIn profile, and personal narrative must reflect the future you, not the clinical box you're trying to leave behind. Your story should communicate: Alignment Transferable value Readiness for what's next 3. Build Your Network Before You Need It Urgency: Opportunities don't come from job boards. They come through people. 2026 pivots will be won by those building relationships now. What this means: Engage in conversations outside clinical practice Attend strategically chosen events, webinars, and summits Learn from people who have already pivoted successfully (I've already mapped my 2026 calendar - and it's filling fast.)   Reinventing your career isn't a single moment - it's a series of deliberate decisions.   The question is simple: What decision will you make after listening to this episode today?   Join the Pivot Crash Course waitlist and start building your 2026 career with clarity and confidence

Director Ritesh Gupta (The Red Mask) joins us for a deep dive into his bold new horror film which premiered at FrightFest 2025. The Red Mask stars Helena Howard, Inanna Sarkis, Jake Abel, and Kelli Garner — and it's not your typical slasher.Ritesh reveals how this meta-thriller flips the remake trope, explores the war between creators and fans, and uses horror as a lens for cultural identity and internet obsession.Whether you're a filmmaker, screenwriter, or horror fan — this episode peels back the mask on what it takes to make a fresh classic in a world obsessed with remakes.

Renato (Ren) Circi, co-founder of SAVA, a London based MedTech company building a new generation of minimally invasive continuous glucose monitors and molecular wearables.In this episode we rewind to the underground labs at Imperial College London where Ren and his co-founder Raph first immersed themselves in biosensors and began questioning the status quo of health monitoring. Ren explains how their shared obsession with measuring the body more effortlessly led to SAVA's founding and what it really looks like to push through years of scientific failure in order to build a complex medical device platform.We dive into why SAVA manufactures everything in-house, how their micro sensor architecture differs from traditional filament based CGMs and why controlling every layer from chemistry to algorithms is essential if you want to iterate fast on performance. Ren sets out SAVA's long term vision of continuous molecular tracking for everyone, not just people with diabetes, and what could be unlocked once you can monitor many molecules in real time from a single patch.We also talk about regulatory expectations for CGMs, the reality of one way product decisions in medical devices and the difficulty of fundraising for a consumer facing yet highly regulated deep tech company. Ren closes with candid reflections on what he would do differently, how he protects time for family and why working on a problem you truly care about with people you genuinely like is the only way to survive the journey.Timestamps[00:00:21] Origins at Imperial and discovering biosensors[00:01:59] Long horizons, repeated failure and staying in the game[00:03:56] Why SAVA manufactures everything in-house[00:06:46] How SAVA's micro sensor CGM platform actually works[00:09:36] From diabetes to universal molecular health monitoring[00:12:02] Patient experience and CGM adoption in healthcare systems[00:13:43] When CGMs become cheaper than finger-pricks[00:15:15] Misconceptions about CGM and continuous molecular sensing[00:17:21] Why building CGMs is one of the hardest engineering challenges[00:22:54] Fundraising in unconventional deep tech MedTech and advice for foundersConnect with Ren - ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/circi/⁠Learn more about Sava - ⁠⁠https://www.sava.health/Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ ⁠⁠⁠Follow Karandeep on YouTube - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwal⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Podcast

In today's episode, I sit down with Dave Schell, a former NFL player turned founder whose work in digital electricity is reshaping how mission critical power is built for the future. We talk about his journey from the gridiron to the energy sector, the fifteen-year path that led him to innovate inside an industry that hasn't changed in a century, and why AI factories and data centers are now at the center of his focus. Dave shares how niche expertise, clear communication, and real humility shaped his comeback after years of ups, downs, and reinvention.

Katie Lefkowitz is a neuroscience-trained entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Harken Foods who's reinventing candy with gut health at its core. In this episode, Katie reveals how her neuroscience background taught her to demand feedback systematically and observe behavior over words—skills that proved universal across consulting, scaling, and founding companies. She shares why she chose measured growth at Harken after experiencing Caulipower's explosive trajectory. Katie explains how the "seven questions framework" helps teams navigate the market's rapid shifts by keeping core values fixed while pivoting operational tactics. Discover practical approaches to data-driven decision-making, building authentic workplace culture, and leading through uncertainty without losing sight of core values. Find The Leadership Podcast episode 490 on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube | Katie Lefkowitz on Reinventing Candy and Culture https://bit.ly/TLP-490 Key Takeaways [03:03] Katie explains her neuroscience background taught her the scientific method, helping evaluate questions less emotionally and with reduced bias. [04:05] Katie describes how all decisions need to be based in data, seeking feedback from every person on the Harken team. [05:44] Katie shares Harken was created after a health scare related to colon cancer introduced her to food as medicine. [07:25] Katie explains Caulipower grew as the fastest growing brand in all of CPG, but for Harken she wants to be more measured. [09:03] Katie confirms the Caulipower success gave her confidence to go at it alone with Harken. [09:48] Katie reflects on trying to be what she thought a leader looked like, being insecure about her age and gender. [11:45] Katie explains there will always be some imposter syndrome, but having Harken within her control has helped relieve that feeling. [13:20] Katie recalls a pitch where the first person said her product doesn't taste good, leaving her crying in the cab to the airport. [15:25] Katie describes watching if people take a second bite during tastings because behavior tells more than words. [16:36] Katie emphasizes listening more than talking as the key leadership lesson. [17:29] Katie explains the company uses Southwest Airlines' seven questions framework where core values don't change but goals and focus do. [19:05] Katie notes that running decisions through core values becomes second nature and prevents losing time on wrong priorities. [20:18] Katie states at their early stage it's about hiring people who believe in what they're doing because culture is what happens when she's not in the room. [21:44] Katie explains parents understand prioritization better because anything to get more time with their kid is of high value. [23:40] Katie reflects that taking pauses to pick up her kid allows her to process things better and make better decisions. [24:46] Katie advises knowing what motivates you—autonomy, mastery, purpose or status, wealth, power—and making decisions based on who you actually are. [27:41] And remember... "If there is no struggle, there is no progress." – Frederick Douglass Quotable Quotes "If you're not telling me I'm doing something wrong or questioning what I'm doing, very frequently, I'm gonna have a problem with that because there's no way that I'm doing everything right." "Listen more than you talk. You will always get a lot more from really hearing people than you're ever going to get from talking at them." "When you're just yourself, it actually comes off much more authentic. And it's those relationships that you're holding yourself back from if you're not able to be your full self." "Have confidence in yourself, own who you are. And it'll actually take you much further than trying to fit into some old mold." "All decisions just need to be based in data and not necessarily, you know, stories." "It's about keeping your core values and making sure that runs through every decision that you're making." "My time is my most valuable resource, not only to myself personally, but to the company." "Taking that pause actually allows me to process things much better. And having that breathing room, I think I just make better decisions." "Know what motivates you... Not who you want people to think you are, but who you actually are."

He highlights his 25-year relationship with the Financial Health Network and their mission to improve consumer financial health. John explains how research on bridging taxes and banking for underbanked populations inspired practical programs at H&R Block. He describes the evolution of H&R Block from serving primarily low- and middle-income clients to addressing more complex financial needs. Automation and technology in tax preparation are allowing professionals to focus on higher-value advisory services rather than data entry. Thompson emphasizes the importance of daily personal finance systems to manage cash flow, spending, saving, and debt. Challenges like inflation, housing affordability, student loans, and healthcare costs create structural barriers to financial health. Thompson discusses how banks and financial institutions are experimenting with different models to serve both underbanked and community-focused customers. He points out that for many simple tax filers, future trends may simplify filing to automated or postcard-level processes. Thompson stresses the importance of taking timely financial actions at key moments, like tax season, raises, or job changes. He highlights upcoming policy and product changes, such as the retirement savings match in 2027–2028 and child savings accounts starting in 2025. Thompson underscores that financial resilience requires both structural solutions and disciplined personal money management.
