Podcasts about Work

It isn't always easy to feel like you can have it all: career, family, hobbies and inner peace. Harvard professor Arthur C. Brooks studies happiness and says it is a direction, not a destination. Brooks believes happiness is especially important for leaders, as the higher you climb the more stressful the job can get - and the wider impact you can have on others. Live in conversation at Harvard Business School's Klarman Hall, he speaks with IdeaCast host and HBR editor at large Adi Ignatius about the importance of empathy and having a greater purpose in your life, not just in your career. Brooks is author of the book The Happiness Files: Insights on Work and Life.

Dr. Camden Bucey speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. Dr. Bucey weaves together the themes of the previous lectures into one coherent narrative centered on Christ. The address establishes that the entire grand narrative of Scripture, from the promise of the serpent-crushing seed in Eden to the apocalyptic visions of Daniel, is converging on the single, brilliant point of Christ's person and work. Dr. Bucey emphasizes that Christ's incarnation, life, death, resurrection, and ascension constitute the central objective act of redemption and bring the era of special revelation to its completion. The focus is on Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, who is the ultimate fulfillment of all covenant promises and redemptive types, particularly the Passover, and the one who brings history to its appointed, glorious consummation, which is the eternal Sabbath rest of God's kingdom.

Leadership expert and author Morag Barrett joins Doug Utberg to challenge the myth that “real connection means keeping the peace.” Together they unpack why the best teams — and the strongest friendships — aren't the ones that avoid conflict, but the ones that use it to grow stronger.Morag, founder of SkyTeam, shares how two decades of leadership research revealed a truth few executives want to hear: false harmony kills innovation. Real connection, she says, requires friction, feedback, and the courage to say the hard things before a crisis hits.Doug reflects on his own journey from people-pleasing to presence — and how letting go of performance-based validation can create genuine relationships at work and in life. The result? A conversation that's equal parts psychology, leadership, and personal transformation — reminding us that the path to trust runs straight through tension.TL;DR* Connection without conflict isn't trust — it's tolerance.* Great teams talk about tension before it breaks them.* Supporters agree; allies challenge and grow with you.* Presence beats performance — every time.* Friction, handled with care, forges deeper bonds.Memorable lines* “Connection isn't soft — it's steel wrapped in empathy.”* “Supporters make you comfortable; allies make you better.”* “False harmony is where innovation goes to die.”* “You can't build trust if no one's willing to be uncomfortable.”GuestMorag Barrett — Founder and CEO of SkyTeam, leadership expert, keynote speaker, and author of You, Me, We: Why We All Need a Friend at Work (and How to Show Up as One).- LinkedIn: - Website:Why it mattersTeams don't fail from lack of skill — they fail from lack of trust.

Have you ever caught yourself silently shrinking, using the word "just" before your title, your accomplishments, or even your ideas? Maybe you've said, "I'm just a team member," or "I'm just filling in"—and in that tiny word, you let a little light of your confidence flicker out. I've heard from leaders just like you, wrestling with the tension between wanting to stand tall in their careers and feeling pressured by culture to play small. The pull to minimize your wins, your presence, and your impact is exhausting. That's exactly what we're exploring in this episode of Being at Work with my longtime friend, MeChelle Callen. MeChelle is not only an author and leader, she's lived the journey of shifting from "just" to joy—embracing power, presence, and authenticity at work. We talk about why eliminating "just" from your vocabulary matters more than you realize, how subtle habits and societal pressures like "tall poppy syndrome" keep us from leading boldly. MeChelle brings real stories, practical tools, and rituals you can tailor for your life. This is an invitation to stop minimizing yourself and finally stand in your power, without apology. Episode Highlights (00:00) Why "just" Is Undermining Your Confidence Without You Knowing (03:03) MeChelle Callen: Who She Is and Why Standing in Our Power Matters (04:23) The Cost of Self-Minimizing Language (08:21) Practical Ways to Eliminate "Just" from Your Work Vocabulary (09:45) Tall Poppy Syndrome: How Culture Makes Us Shrink (12:31) Leadership, Resilience, and Being Seen—Even When It's Risky (18:15) Authenticity vs. Adaptability: How to Honor Yourself While Navigating Feedback (21:50) Rituals for Confidence: Music, Mantras, Power Poses & More (26:16) Micro-Moments of Power: Anchoring Yourself Before Big Moments (29:51) Why Your Unique Voice and Story Matters More Than Ever   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.

You know, handmade gifts are always the most special. Well, there are better crafted doll houses than the one my daughter got when she was a little girl. But we made it; it's handmade. My wife and I, for better or worse, did it with our own hands. One December we closed the basement and we started hammering and sawing away to build that doll house. There was a sign on the door that said "Do Not Open Till Christmas." That meant the basement. That drove the kids crazy, but we were having a great time doing it. Frankly, my month was crammed. But even though the work we did was often very late and it took quite a few hours, especially since I'm not the neighborhood handyman, I enjoyed every minute of working on it. Did I get tired? Yes. Was I too busy to do that doll house? Yes. Was it outside the things I do well? Yes. Was it a pleasure? Yes. Why? Because it was for a little girl I loved very much. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "What Love Does to Work." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Luke 7, and I'm going to begin reading at verse 37. It's the familiar story of the lady who loved Jesus very, very deeply. "When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume. And as she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them." Now, there's a discussion by the Pharisee with Jesus as to why she did all of this. And He simply says, "For she loved much." She loves her Master, and she uses everything she can find to serve Him. She kisses His feet. She says, "Wait, I have this perfume. I could use that to express my love for Him, and she breaks open that perfume." She says, "I've got my hair. I can dry His feet with my hair." It's as if she is looking for everything she can use to love Jesus with it. There's a principle here. Work is so different when it's an act of loving worship instead of grudging duty. Colossians 3:23 says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord and not for men." And then it says, "It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Maybe you've just been cranking out your responsibilities lately and it's joyless - drudgery. Maybe those who are around you would testify to hearing more complaining and negative talk lately. It could be you're working for the wrong person. No, no, not for your boss. Don't do it for your boss, your company, your pastor, your church, your ministry, or your teachers. Don't do it for your children even, or your employees. See, work becomes lighter and more joyful when you begin each responsibility by saying, "Lord, I dedicate this everyday chore to You. I love You, and this job I'm doing, I'm doing as an offering to You. I'm giving it my best. I'm doing it for you, Jesus." A woman in this story used everything she could find to love Jesus. It's a beautiful picture - grabbing everything you do as something with which to love your Master. You're busy, tired, maybe feeling inadequate, like I did when I built that doll house. But it was for someone I really loved. Do your work for someone you really love. You may not love your work, but it makes a difference when you do your work for love.

Send us a textOn today's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about how long we allow ourselves to dwell on things that aren't serving us; in other words, where we're placing our attention.How often do you actually notice where your mind is at any given moment? And how often do you find yourself ruminating on something that isn't making you feel good? Perhaps you had an argument with a friend, or maybe you're worried about an email from your boss. Are you still thinking about it three days later?Polly and I talk about why it's so incredibly important to bring more awareness to our thoughts, and to consciously choose to shift our focus onto something else, rather than obsess over things that are completely out of our control.Of course we need to feel our feelings - and of course some things are much bigger and more serious than others - but in the day to day of life, how long do you tend to dwell on a conversation, event, or incident that is making you feel bad?We hope you'll find something useful in here.Love,Polly & Lucy xSupport the showOrder my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Download my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Answers To The Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?

Three words to Google Gemini and you can kiss your PowerPoint woes goodbye.

Eric sat down with Mr. Producer, a seasoned podcast producer and former radio professional, to discuss his career journey and the evolution of audio communication. Mr. Producer shares how a chance encounter at age fifteen led him to a job in radio, detailing his practice of cultivating a powerful voice for the airwaves. A significant portion of the conversation focuses on the shift from traditional radio to the rise of podcasting, highlighting how the fragmented media landscape has replaced the communal listening experience of the past. Mr. Producer also recounts his involvement as an "early adopter" of podcasting technology around 2004 and explains how he eventually retired from radio to help others launch and maintain their own successful podcasts, underscoring the importance of authenticity and finding one's niche in the current media environment. Key Takeaways: Define your personal "why" or purpose before embarking on a new project to ensure your efforts are meaningful to you. Embrace the fact that your initial attempts at a new endeavor will be your worst, and expect continuous improvement as you proceed. Work diligently to cultivate desired skills, such as reading aloud to practice pronunciation, projection, and tonality. Stick with your long-term goals and persevere beyond early discouragement, as consistency is key to reaping lasting benefits. Utilize new platforms like podcasting or content creation to document your journey, build credibility, and sharpen your communication skills.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Kerry Burnight, Gerontologist, Chief Gerontologist, New York Times best-selling author, and researcher. They explore what it truly means to age well, focusing less on resisting the passage of time and more on embracing vitality, curiosity, and joy throughout life's second half.Dr. Burnight explains why the common “decline” mindset around aging misses the full story. She shares research showing that meaningful growth, strong social connections, adaptability, and a sense of giving can shape both how long and how well we live. Dr. Burnight offers practical examples for building these habits, from maintaining friendships across generations to finding purpose in everyday acts.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Burnight urges listeners to rethink their beliefs about aging and to prepare for later life with intention. She shows that nurturing joy and purpose is just as important as physical health, and that everyone can take steps to build a more satisfying, resilient, and joyful future. Guest-at-a-Glance 

Why do so many Christians want to give more—but feel like they can't?Most of us want to be generous, but there are often barriers—spiritual, financial, or even emotional—that hold us back. Today, Ron Blue joins us to unpack five key reasons why Christians don't give more, and how we can begin climbing toward greater generosity.Ron Blue is a financial teacher, author, and co-founder of Kingdom Advisors. He has helped countless Christians apply biblical wisdom to their finances and is best known for his bestselling book, Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Financial Contentment.Five Barriers to Generosity—and How to Overcome ThemGenerosity is one of the greatest marks of spiritual maturity, yet many Christians find themselves wanting to give more but feeling unable to do so. Over the years, most believers face five primary barriers to generosity. These form a kind of “pyramid,” with each level building on the one below it. The journey toward greater giving begins with the heart and ends with intentional planning.1. Spiritual Condition: The Foundation of GenerosityBefore generosity ever shows up in our bank accounts, it begins in our hearts. When we grasp who God is, who we are, and the grace that has been extended to us, generosity naturally flows from that understanding.The more we understand God's ownership and our role as stewards, the more we want to give. Spiritual maturity is the foundation—without it, our giving will always feel like an obligation instead of an act of worship.2. Financial Health: Creating Margin to GiveEven when our hearts are in the right place, poor financial habits can make generosity difficult. Many believers simply can't give more because they're weighed down by debt, overspending, or disorganization.It often takes time—sometimes even years—to align our finances with our convictions. That might mean getting out of credit card debt, restructuring a business, or learning to live within our means. When we get our financial house in order, we create margin for generosity to flourish.3. Vision: Seeing Where God Is WorkingPeople don't give to spreadsheets or buildings—they give to vision. When we can picture the impact of our giving, we're motivated to invest more deeply.A clear vision fuels generosity. Ask yourself: Where has God stirred my heart? What Kingdom work do I feel most passionate about? When we see how our resources can change lives—whether feeding children, funding missions, or supporting local ministries—we begin to give with joy and purpose.4. Community: Encouragement from OthersGenerosity rarely happens in isolation. We need relationships that encourage us to live open-handedly. When we surround ourselves with generous people—friends who talk about giving, pray about giving, and celebrate giving—we're inspired to do the same.Scripture reminds us that we are to “spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24). Community reminds us that generosity isn't just an individual act—it's part of how the body of Christ functions together.5. Planning: Giving with IntentionFinally, generosity grows through intentional planning. I've seen it over and over in my work as a financial planner: when people create a plan for their giving, their generosity increases dramatically—sometimes fivefold.A plan brings clarity and purpose. It helps you set a “finish line” for lifestyle and accumulation so you can redirect more toward eternal purposes. Without a plan, even well-intentioned believers often give sporadically or reactively. With one, generosity becomes a consistent and joyful part of life.Moving Toward Greater GenerosityThese five layers—spiritual condition, financial health, vision, community, and planning—build upon each other. Each represents a step toward living and giving as God intended.So, which one are you ready to work on today?The journey toward generosity isn't about guilt—it's about grace. As we align our hearts, habits, and plans with God's purposes, we discover the joy of giving that truly reflects His character.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm considering a reverse mortgage and wondering—if I were to get one—whether my creditors could come after the proceeds.How can younger people today start building wealth? What are some practical strategies to grow financially—and how can we stay positive and motivated when so many in our generation don't seem to think that way?I run a small architecture business, but my income has been inconsistent over the past few years. My financial advisor suggested I take a salaried job to help pay down debt and stabilize our family's finances. If I do that, how should I communicate with a potential employer that I'd like to keep my business on the side—and is that even wise to do?I've been researching digital currencies and the broader move toward electronic money. With more people, including political figures, showing support for it—and with lower fees and more direct transactions—what's your take on where this is heading?My husband is 65 and retired, and I'm 56 and still working. I've heard that a spouse can collect half of the other's Social Security benefit once they reach a certain age. Is that true, and how does it work?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Open Hands FinanceWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

Send us a textHave you ever been asked, "What is your calling?" In Episode 344, Dr. Arianna Molloy, author of "Healthy Calling: From Toxic Burnout to Sustainable Work," shares her research and helps us answer that question from a beautiful place of understanding and maturity.In this episode, we reframe calling as a living relationship with God, grounded in community and guided by humility, rest, and gratitude. I also unveil a new monthly format that helps us metabolize ideas, practice spiritual skills, and cultivate sustainable rhythms.Drawing from Dr. Arianna's work on healthy calling, we unpack a practical triad for a sustainable life of purpose: dialogue with God that starts our mornings, interaction that turns trust into action, and maintenance that gently course‑corrects when we drift. We name the third key player—community—and show how burnout ripples outward, while healthy rhythms multiply good in every direction. Along the way, we get honest about enforced rest, health scares, and the sobering gift of learning to move from rest rather than toward it.Humility anchors the conversation. Not self‑erasure, but clear awareness of strengths and weaknesses without fixation. Not hustle, but a lifestyle of learning and the courage to unplug. Gratitude then becomes humility in motion—remembering whose we are, who we are, and who is in charge. Visit Dr. Arianna Molloy's website: Learn MoreOrder Dr. Arianna's book: Healthy CallingWatch Dr. Arianna: Meaningful Work; Should You Put Your Phone Down?; What it Means to Walk Humbly With God; More Than Just a JobSupport the showSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

Nicholas Pearce, clinical associate professor at Kellogg School of Management, says too many companies—and individuals—lack a clear sense of purpose. He argues “the best companies are ones that not only have a purpose for themselves but also attract and hire people whose individual senses of purpose align with the company's purpose.” This means companies that are not simply profit-driven tend to be more likely to succeed. And individuals who align their daily job with their authentic life's work will be happier and more productive. Pearce is also a pastor, an executive coach, and the author of the book The Purpose Path: A Guide to Pursuing Your Authentic Life's Work.
