EP 206 – The Real Reason You're Still Stuck (And Why This Podcast Is Changing)

August 7, 2025 • 35 mins


Welcome to the new beginning.

This isn’t episode one—but it is a restart. After coaching hundreds of professionals, I’ve realized that most people aren’t just looking for a promotion or more flexible hours. They want freedom. Ownership. Clarity.

In this episode, I explain the real reason so many smart professionals stay stuck—and why I’m shifting this podcast to help you break out.

204: Are You the Burger Flipper or the Boss [Podcast]

December 1, 2020 • 14 mins
So, are you the burger flipper or the boss?This is a question I ask my kids often. If you are a burger flipper, you do not have to think much. You just wait and do what you are told. You can be totally unengaged in your work. If you are the boss, you have 10,000 decisions to make. Everything hinges on you. You have to be self-driven and engaged else nothing happens.It is all about ownership and engagement.I hear a lot about engagem...

203: Quit Being a Pawn [Podcast]

November 24, 2020 • 17 mins
Quit being a pawn. Stand up and fight back. As you might be noticing yourself, nobody is listening. We have quit talking and turned instead to yelling at each other. And, if nobody is talking, who is controlling the conversation? I have been watching what is going on in our country (I am in the US) for some time. We fight. Nobody is talking anymore. Everything is charged. We all think we have opinions and are fighting for the truth...

202: College? There Has Got to Be a Better Way [Podcast]

November 17, 2020 • 25 mins
A conversation I often have with parents is something like this:  "College? There Has Got to Be a Better Way".College is like a money pit and does not offer such a powerful tool to create wealth and security as perhaps it did. In fact, if chosen poorly, it generates the opposite.So today, I want to dive into the issue a little deeper and explore some thoughts.College?

201: Moving from Tech Expert to Leader [Podcast]

November 10, 2020 • 26 mins
Moving from tech expert to leader in your organization can be tricky. Scientists, engineers, developers, architects, and many other experts move into leadership positions every day. Many companies expect this transition to take place. But other companies do not see tech experts as leaders - just as tech experts. It is kind of a new "blue-collar" thinking. Either way, the transition is not always easy.Leadership positions ...

199: Waiting on Leadership [Podcast]

October 27, 2020 • 16 mins
Waiting on leadership to show up and take action can be one of the most frustrating issues in corporate America. More frustrating than a bad tyrant of a boss is the absent boss. At least with that tyrant, you might learn what to expect. When absent and you are waiting - you often spend your days in frustration not knowing what matters and what should be let go. In episode 156, I dealt with how you can lead if you have a leadership ...

193: Using Love as a Business Strategy [Podcast]

September 15, 2020 • 28 mins
Using love as a business strategy might seem like a strange title - especially coming from an engineer. Generally speaking we technical people are pretty much just the facts. The talk of soft skills and focusing on people makes me squeamish - so to start talking about loving your customer is really a leap - for me anyway.Over the past few months, I keep hearing pastors talk about being called to love one another.
