Hey Ryan,
Ryan (00:08):
Hey Vic.
Vic (00:10):
you know that feeling when it snows really hard and it's
deep and it's fresh and you cansee the sun glistening on it?
Like that feeling, you know, youcan't wait to get out there and
jump around just generally likehave a snowball fight, play
around.
You know that feeling?
Ryan (00:26):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I got all the snow that I neededliving near Lake Erie for the
first 25 years of my life, andI'll tell you, after childhood,
that feeling went away veryquickly.
Vic (00:39):
Okay, well, that's how I feel about 2025 and our Go Coach
Yourself podcast.
Like a blank canvas, fresh snow,new ideas, limitless
possibilities.
Ryan (00:52):
now that I get.
Because not everybody lovessnow.
And games until it turns intobrown slush.
Welcome to another episode of gocoach yourself, a podcast to
help you get unfucked and buildthe incredible life you deserve.
(01:14):
We're Vic and Ryan two certifiedcoaches trying to change the
world.
One conversation at a time.
So Vic, what are we talkingabout today?
Vic (01:23):
Oh, So exciting.
Today we're going to be sharingwith our listeners what we've
got in store for them.
In this next season of Go CoachYourself.
2025 and the dream is stillalive.
Ryan (01:35):
I'm super excited about this as well.
And if you've listened to ourlast episode, these first two of
the second season are going tobe a little different than our
normal episodes.
Vic (01:45):
We interrupt this broadcast to bring you big news of 2025's
season two of Go Coach Yourself.
Ryan (01:53):
Thank you for that.
We, uh, we're going to give allof you an overview of what's to
come, what our focus is for2025, what's changing, what
we've got staying the same.
And if you want to hear abouthow we felt about Season 1, we
released a retrospective episodetwo weeks ago.
So go check that out.
We had some fun recording it andtalked through a lot of the
(02:14):
things that we learned andreally enjoyed about Season 1.
Vic (02:18):
Oh yeah, we did.
That was, that was a good oneand felt different enough.
Yeah.
Ryan (02:23):
So let's start with something quick What's changing
and what's staying the same andso, you know, staying the same
we're gonna have weekly episodesThat are filled with humor and
laughter and fun we're stillgonna bring our real
perspectives to every topic wetalk about and We're gonna
continue to help our listenersreally connect with Ideas in a
(02:45):
different way and find ways thatthey can coach themselves
through many of life's differentscenarios Vic, do you want to
tell people what's going to bedifferent?
Vic (02:55):
Yeah, and so what's going to be different is that this
season we've got threeoverarching topics and we're
going to share those with you ina little while.
When we did season one, we Picktopics that were important to
us, that we found came up withinour coaching quite often.
(03:16):
They were kind of tools andtechniques we wanted you all to
have.
And this year we're gonna focusa little differently.
We're gonna bring some guestspeakers in these topics, the
guest speakers puts like alittle less pressure on us and
also mixes it up a bit and makesit a little different for you
all listening.
And so should we dive into thethree topics and why they're
(03:37):
important to us?
Ryan (03:38):
I think that's a great place to spend most of our
conversation today because Ithink these are, these are
really going to shape a lot ofwhat we do and I love how you
put that, like it's lesspressure.
And, uh, part of that for me islike, it's really clear in terms
of where we want to focus anddoesn't necessarily feel like
it's a topic free for all witheverything and anything.
Vic (04:00):
Hmm.
Yeah.
We will theme them around thesetopics and we'll signal to you
in the start of the episode thatthis is the topic that we're
talking about today, this is thetheme that it fits into.
Ryan (04:12):
Awesome.
Vic (04:13):
So the three big topics for our episodes
Ryan (04:17):
focus in this second season are going to be as
follows.
Number one, know and be who youare.
Number two, cultivate meaningfulconnections.
And number three, live anintentional life.
And,, before we dig into these,I'll just share a little bit
about, like, how we came up withthis.
(04:38):
we really looked at everythingthat we had worked on, Vic
actually was visiting in person,so we got to have a little bit
of a, an off site on site, uh,which was really fun.
Um, you know, kind of
Vic (04:48):
So good.
Ryan (04:49):
throwback to our days of post it notes and whiteboards.
Vic (04:52):
I was going to say lots of post it notes, lots of Sharpie
markers.
Ryan (04:56):
Yes, And so like, as we, as we focused more on what we
really cared about and what wewanted to talk more about, these
topics just emerged as being thethree that kept coming up again
and again.
And so they're the places we'vedecided to focus.
And so, uh, so what we'll donext is we'll, we'll tell you
about each one and give you alittle more information about
(05:16):
why they mattered for us.
Vic (05:18):
Okay.
So know and be who you are.
The big idea here is clarity ofself is the foundation of
genuine fulfillment.
So we believe that when youtruly know who you are, you know
what your values are, yourmotivations and your desires,
you unlock the ability to pursuea life that feels more genuine
(05:40):
and fulfilling to you.
Clarity of self, it not onlyprovides direction for your
goals, but also strengthens yourconnections with other people
and the world around you.
And for me, this is like thecenter.
It's the knob of everythingthat, that you do and what spans
(06:05):
from you outwards.
Ryan (06:09):
I love that metaphor that makes me think of almost like a
nucleus.
It's like the, the, what makesyou, you is right at the middle
of that, of that nucleus.
This, uh, this topic is super,super important to me as well.
As I think we coach people andas we talk with other people,
um, you know, it's, it comes upagain and again, that so often
(06:31):
people, they're not clear onwhat they want, or they're not
clear on where they're going.
And the thing that feels likeit's.
Many times missing is thatthey've not done the work or
played the game if you don'tlike the idea of work because it
doesn't have to be hard of likereally figuring out who you are.
(06:52):
What makes you special?
What do you care about?
What is your purpose?
And so this really, you know,not only is it an important
topic, but it really feels likeit's at the core of everything
we do from the coachingpractices that we run to ignite
the spark that I teach to themanager work that you lead and
helping managers understand whothey are at their best.
(07:13):
Um, you know, that's, it's justso important to be clear about.
That internal point of viewbefore before we can start
moving towards other things AndI truly believe that not only
does it actually help you seethe end point or the direction
that you're going, but itactually clears the path.
Like it helps you get there in away that feels so much more
(07:34):
easeful and so much morepurposeful.
So I cannot wait to dig moreinto this one.
Vic (07:41):
Yeah, me too.
I, the thing about this one thatexcites me is that we touched a
number of these topics in seasonone, you know, so we talked
about purpose.
We talked about values.
And I think that in season two,we're going to take that a
little deeper in that this, thisThis concept of continual
(08:03):
growth, and so you might knowsomething about yourself, but we
as humans are constantlychanging and being shaped by the
experiences that we have, and soself knowledge, self
understanding is something thatI just think it's constantly
shifting and I love this ideathat we're really gonna dig into
(08:26):
that this season and you know,I'm happy to bring listeners
along with us.
Ryan (08:32):
Mmm, so good.
Yeah, because how often dopeople create a life that's
built on a version of themselvesthat's what they think someone
else wants?
Or a version of themselves thattheir parents always, you know,
put on them as something thatwas maybe exciting, but really
isn't maybe 100 percent true towho they are today.
(08:53):
I think, going deep in terms ofunderstanding who you are and
who you are at your best.
And how that can totally reshapeyour entire journey.
Vic (09:04):
ain't that the truth.
You know, I have a leadingchange and transitions session
that, um, I often do withleaders, but also with
individual contributors.
And, you know, one of theconcepts I talk about there is
that often we look at change asour current self.
And so we stand and we look atthat thing that we've got to
(09:25):
move to the change that'shappening with everything that
we hold now without realizingthat by the time we get there,
we will also have changed themovement to that new place
creates new experiences andcreates a change within us.
And so often when it's hard tosee, you know, you.
(09:49):
embodying, living that change.
It's because you're doing itfrom, from the position you're
at now without this concept,without this growth mindset that
you will change as well as thething that's changing.
Ryan (10:01):
Mm, for
Vic (10:02):
And so, yeah, I'm super excited to get into, to get into
this, this
Ryan (10:07):
me too.
Me too.
There's so much, so much toexplore.
All right, ready for topic two.
Vic (10:15):
Let's dig in.
Ryan (10:16):
So, cultivate meaningful connections.
The big idea that we want toshare here is that connection is
currency, and how you spend itshapes your life.
We really believe thatconnection is one of the most
valuable assets that each of ushas, um, literally thinking of
it like currency that you haveto invest for building trust,
(10:36):
fostering meaningfulrelationships, and creating a
more fulfilling life.
The way that we eachindividually invest in
connection and how we choose tospend that currency has a
lasting impact, not only onourselves, but the people around
us, whether it be family,friends, colleagues, et cetera.
Vic (10:56):
Mm.
Ryan (10:57):
And so this, this one is really important to me,
especially this idea that, youknow, our, our connection is
currency because it really putsa sharp point on that idea that
you, you, you invest You onlyhave so much at any given time,
and so you have to be reallythoughtful around the
connections that you arecurating, the relationships that
(11:20):
you are building, and the onesthat you're putting more
investment into our originaltopic here was focused on
building meaningfulrelationships, but as we
continue to talk it through, itwas so much clearer that this
was about connection and formingconnection, whether it was in a
very brief moment.
We've talked about, you know, Ifyou create that connection
(11:42):
between yourself and the localbarista that you see every
morning, you don't have to havea deep, meaningful, long lived
relationship there in the waythat we often think about
meaningful relationships.
But that connection can changethe course of your day.
It can change your mood.
It can change the other person,uh, in really positive ways.
And so we wanted to make surethat we Could really get clear
(12:05):
about you know, this isn't justabout having a great partner
relationship or you knowBuilding that relationship with
a boss or a colleague It'sreally about the day to day
connection that we have with oneanother and how we choose to put
our focus on that
Vic (12:20):
hmm.
Mm hmm.
Yes to all of that.
And whenever I think aboutConnection, I, I, I think about
the Brené Brown work, and that,you know, we, she often says, we
are hardwired for Connection.
You know, there are extensivestudies around health and well
being showing that deep andauthentic connections contribute
(12:44):
to better mental and physicalhealth.
And I love this idea of editingwhat are the connections that
you have, where are you puttingyour time and energy, and is it
worth it?
Are you putting all your effortsinto connections that don't
(13:07):
serve you, that don't lift youup, that don't give you
something that enhances yourlife.
And you know, we're going totake a good hard look at this.
And you know, for some of us, wehave family or friend or, you
know, loved one relationshipsThey don't serve us.
And so we're gonna, we're gonnadeeply look at what is a
(13:32):
meaningful connection and how doyou get more of them?
Ryan (13:38):
There are two really big concepts within this area.
Uh, one of which has been avalue of mine for a really long
time.
And one of which is somethingthat I've actually started
developing a new relationshipwith over the last couple of
years.
So the value is trust.
And for me, that was thestarting point of all of this
was.
(13:59):
Focusing on trust and I think aswe got clearer about what this
topic was, it, it became veryobvious that trust was a really
critical component, but notnecessarily like the whole thing
and, uh, you know, we'll, we'llexplore in different episodes.
How, how you can build trust,how you can repair trust.
Um, and really what does thatlook like?
(14:21):
I think it's a really, reallycore idea that we could all
spend more time talking about.
The second concept is the ideaof love and how this creates
connection beyond just romanticlove.
Over the last couple of years,I've really tried to lean into
the idea of expressing love forthose in my life that I really
(14:43):
care about.
Uh, because I want them to knowhow important they are to me.
And this, like I said, goesbeyond, obviously, family or
romantic relationships.
But like, who are the people inyour life that are so important
to you, like that you would doanything for them?
Nearly anything for and that youreally want to make sure you
investing the right amount oftime and energy in because they
(15:06):
do give you something back andyou give them something and so I
really I'm excited to explorethat further and help
dimensionalize what love couldlook like, you know, more
broadly than maybe some of usthink about it today.
Vic (15:18):
Am really into the research now around how, Um, often people
get into a romanticrelationship, they find a
significant other, they, buy ahouse, they settle down.
And I'm doing that in airquotes, you know, like they get
married or whatever that mightbe.
And that romantic significantother becomes their central
(15:44):
focal points for all their loveand connection.
And that is unhealthy.
Like, I'm really interested inthis power of the friendship
circle that, like, it can besitting around it, it can be,
you know, equal to, it's thisidea that we are closing our
(16:06):
lives down to this, four or fivepeople that often we're related
to or, you know, where there's,there's some, some familial or
relational element to it thatisn't necessarily friendship.
And so I'm, yeah, like I'm allabout the, the love that is in
(16:31):
between all of those otherthings.
Yes.
Ryan (16:34):
For sure.
We're going to talk about guestsand a little bit after we finish
this, this overview, but who'swho is absolutely going to be a
guest for this topic?
Vic (16:44):
Without a doubt, our friend, Phil.
Absolutely 100%.
Ryan (16:51):
so Vic, I think that gives folks a good idea of what it is
that's important for us aroundcultivating meaningful
connections.
Great.
So, uh, so why don't you bringus, bring us home with live an
intentional life and tell folksa little bit about that.
Yeah, Live an intentional life.
So the big idea here is aboutchoice, so living
Vic (17:12):
a life that aligns with your purpose.
And you know, we believe thatliving intentionally means that
you align your actions,decisions, aspirations with your
purpose and values.
So it's about defining whatharmony looks like for you.
Recognizing the privilege ofchoice and then using it to
(17:33):
create a life of meaning andimpact.
And one of the things that is soimportant to me.
about this topic is that I thinkeverybody's life should have
purpose and meaning.
And I think that people shouldbe making value and purpose
(17:56):
driven decisions.
So when they're at choice, theyhave something that they're
choosing from that's informingthat choice.
And I think often People don't.
And that's not because itdoesn't exist for them.
It's because they haven't donethe work.
(18:17):
They haven't realized yet.
But imagine the power if therewas intention behind that,
behind life, behind choice,behind decisions, like
unstoppable, unstoppable.
Ryan (18:31):
absolutely.
I couldn't, couldn't agree morewith that idea of the power of
choice and, you know, how beingbeing in that is such a game
changer.
And.
In this topic, I think it's veryeasy for us to jump to, well,
not everybody has the, has theprivilege of choice.
And I think we'll explorethrough our conversations that
(18:53):
there are absolutely privilegesthat give people more choice or
different choices.
But I think at the core of it,all of us have the ability to
give ourselves the gift ofshowing up intentionally.
Making choices intentionally,and moving toward things in a
way that feels aligned with whatwe care about.
Vic (19:13):
Yeah, and I, I think there's, you know, I want to go
back to this idea of choice and,um, that we absolutely are at
choice in how we think
Ryan (19:26):
Mm hmm.
How we act
Vic (19:29):
that, is the choice that we make every single moment of
every single day.
Like that choice is ours.
Like do we, do we act in serviceof?
who we are, who we want tobecome, or do we act in service
of old patterns, the oldthoughts that no longer serve
(19:50):
us.
This idea of an intentional lifeis, I think it's, there's real
power here to transform in howyou view yourself, your
connections, and the impact youhave on the world.
Ryan (20:05):
So true.
So true.
There's a, there's somethingthere that you, that you
mentioned.
It's, it's really about how youview it.
And I really think that theconversations we're going to
have here are going to reallyhelp.
shape or reshape the perspectivethat people have, uh, about what
it looks like to liveintentionally.
Because I think it's also, youknow, probably a common enough
(20:29):
experience that each of us hasseen that person in our lives
that it's like, Oh, like, lookhow easy their life looks or
look how well things are goingfor them.
And to be in a place of, um, aplace of like, you know, envy or
judgment of ourselves.
And like, why isn't thathappening for me?
And I'll tell you, one of thebiggest secrets, I think, is
that those people are justliving intentionally, and
(20:52):
they're living through choice,and it's not magic.
So, I think everybody, everybodyhas access to this.
Vic (20:59):
They do and I think the, um, I think the interesting
thing here is that, um, once youstart thinking more
intentionally and acting moreintentionally, for me, it's like
you stand at the top of theprecipice and when you do, you
(21:19):
make that decision, you want todo it.
It's all downhill.
Ryan (21:22):
Mm.
Vic (21:23):
Maybe precipice isn't the right word.
Maybe it's like the top of themountain or whatever that is.
But it's, it's all downhill.
It just gets so much easier eachtime you, you make a new
decision.
Ryan (21:35):
Yep.
Absolutely.
Can't wait for moreconversations and, and guests,
because I think we're going tohave a lot of folks that have
led really intentional lives,that we're going to talk to.
Vic (21:47):
Okay.
Let's tease some of those guestsnow in terms of across these
three topics.
Who our listeners can expect tohear from.
Ryan (21:58):
Great.
We've already actually startedthese conversations and I have
to tell you, they have been somuch fun, uh, partly because
it's just something new for usand a different way for us to
have a conversation, but mostly,Because the people that we are
going to have conversations withare just, hands down, incredible
people.
I know that if you're listeningto any of our episodes where we
(22:20):
have guests that you will knowthat these are people that we
really admire and are peoplethat we really think are going
to bring the best of a point ofview around one of these big
three topics.
And so we've already talked witha couple folks, in the space of
living an intentional life.
Um, so Vic, do you want to talka little bit about our first
guest?
Vic (22:42):
Yeah, so our first guest is Paul Middleton.
He is the founder of 1st90 Andhe is talking to us about the
power of habits.
To build an intentional life.
And this is a really greatepisode because we dig into what
are the components of anintentional life and how do you
(23:06):
build an intentional lifethrough your day to day mindsets
and habits, such a good episode.
Ryan (23:13):
so good.
And then our second guest thatwe've talked to, is an amazing
woman named Keri Harvey and Keriis actually Vic's personal
trainer who you work
Vic (23:25):
whoop.
whoop.
Ryan (23:27):
Who you work with at form fitness bk there in brooklyn it
was my first time meeting KeriObviously you've known Keri for
a couple of years now prettyclosely and i've just got to say
like The conversation was sofun.
she has got an amazing storythat she'll share with you.
And, Vic really has shared thatstory in day to day
(23:47):
conversation.
But talking with Keri, like theinspiration came through so
powerfully, she's going to helpus explore how she's moved
toward the life that she's builtwith intention and talks about
how living an intentional lifedoesn't mean living a perfect
life.
Keri just an incredible human,and, uh, I'm a little jealous
that you get to know her, uh,so, so closely, but,
Vic (24:11):
get to know her too.
Everyone does actually, afterthis episode which is going to
be amazing.
Yeah.
And then some other guests thatwe'll welcome Dr.
Andre Martin, who is anorganizational psychologist.
He does lots of work withorganizations around culture.
He's an author of Wrong FitRight Fit, which is a book that
(24:33):
he recently published to helpindividuals understand what it
means to have the right fit atwork and what you might want to
consider as to whether yourorganization is the right fit
for you.
So we'll have Andre come in andtalk to us too.
Who else have we got Ryan?
Ryan (24:52):
Awesome we also have, a good friend Francesca Ranieri
joining us.
So Fran is actually the co hostof the Your Work Friends
podcast, which we've mentionedhere before.
And,
Vic (25:05):
if you haven't listened to it, you should.
It's amazing.
Ryan (25:09):
Yourworkfriends.
com.
You'll find everything you needto connect with Fran and her co
host Mel.
Fran is also the founder of herown consulting organization
called Frank Strategy.
She just launched Frank about ayear ago and is having some
really, really coolconversations.
Changing the way thatorganizations, specifically
(25:30):
corporations think about howthey achieve things and how they
do things and are aligned withpurpose and values in new ways.
And so I'm super excited tospeak with her further about the
work that she's doing and reallywhat she sees as, the future
because Fran is by all means,uh, a, a futurist and someone
who just loves understandingwhat's to come.
Vic (25:52):
She is also a kick ass human.
So, cannot wait.
Cannot wait.
Ryan (26:00):
Continuing the list of kick ass humans, we have Dorothy
Chang, who's going to be joiningus as well.
So Dorothy is a fellow co activecoach that Vic and I both met
through CTI.
She is the leader of DYY ChangConsulting, where she helps
organizations really understandthe conditions that they create
(26:20):
for employees and do so from alens of equitability and
progressive thinking around,around how they operate.
She's also worked previouslywith companies like Amazon and
the Chan Zuckerberg initiative,where she has led initiatives
around DEI, diversity, equity,equity, and inclusion, uh, to
(26:41):
really help those organizations,uh, bring their purpose to life
more effectively.
Can't wait for Dorothy to joinus.
She is, she is such an amazinghuman and has so many great
ideas.
Vic (26:53):
One of the amazing things about Dorothy is that she is so
humble that she is almostuncomfortable with, in fact she
is, there's no almost about it,but she is uncomfortable with
any level of praise and so we'rejust signalling right here that
we love Dorothy and so theremight be some uncomfortable
(27:17):
moments when we have her on theshow.
Ryan (27:21):
Can't wait for folks to, to meet her as well.
So those are just a few of thefolks that we have on the books
to get started for season two'sguests.
Um, as we mentioned earlier, ourfriend, Phil Brezel, we're, uh,
we're coming to you soon.
So you just know, just know thatthe ask is there.
We'd love to, we'd love to talkwith you.
Vic (27:40):
Yeah.
Ryan (27:48):
Why don't we wrap up having a little conversation
around some things that we'relooking forward to and some
things that we're leaving spacefor as we lean into season two.
Vic (27:57):
Mm.
Love that.
I'm going first.
If you didn't know, I am lookingforward to spending more time
with you on the topics that welove.
Ryan (28:13):
Me too, like that's, it's always great to spend time
together and we've always talkedabout stuff that we love here,
but I do, I do really have alevel of excitement that feels
fresh and even more focused forthis season because it's like,
Oh, these are the things thatreally, really matter.
And so, yeah, I agree.
Vic (28:32):
Yeah.
What are you looking forward to?
Ryan (28:36):
Yeah, so for me, I'm really looking forward to the
end of the season.
And I say that Not because
Vic (28:45):
Please explain.
Ryan (28:46):
not, because I'm in a rush to get there or I'm like, Oh, I
can't wait for this to be over.
Uh, but I think back to thestart of season one and knowing
kind of at the outset of thatseason, that there were going to
be so many things that we hadlearned and so many new points
of view that we had, andliterally that has led us to
(29:07):
where we are today.
And so I'm just excited abouthow.
The conversations we havecontinue to shape the podcast,
continue to shape, ourrelationship and how we show up
in our respective spaces in theworld.
And, you know, I'm reallyexcited to find out, is it
actually going to be importantfor us to zoom in even further
on just one of these topics?
(29:29):
Are these the topics for seasontwo?
And then we'll have new seasonthree topics.
Uh, so I'm, I'm really lookingforward to trying this out,
learning from it and honestlyjust having a lot of fun.
Vic (29:41):
I love that.
I love that.
What are you leaving space
Ryan (29:47):
Hmm.
So, uh, I don't know that I'veshared this on an episode
previously, but one of the, oneof the big reasons that I really
was excited about podcasting wasbecause I have done blogging and
writing of long form content inthe past.
And it's honestly really kind ofdraining for me in terms of an
activity.
And so I'm like, Oh, a podcastwill be great.
(30:09):
We have great conversations andthat doesn't require me to write
a damn thing.
Fast forward to writing apodcast surprise surprise.
It actually involves a lot ofwriting
Vic (30:20):
Yep.
Ryan (30:21):
and so I I say that as a lead in to say that season one,
you know Really I think helpedus to understand what was
required to really build anepisode And I also think that
that was a learning ground andnow as we move into season two I
want to continue You bringinggreat content to life for our
(30:42):
listeners and having greatconversations, but what I want
to leave space for is a littlemore messiness.
I want to leave space to not 100percent know what it is that
we're going to say, but just beokay with it because, you know
what?
The magic of editing can help usmake it sound really good.
Vic (31:01):
Oh, I love that one of the things we said we wanted this
year in this season and 2025 wasless scripted moments and more
what, what occurs to you rightnow as you're having the
conversation.
And so I love that you'releaving space for messy.
(31:21):
Yes.
Yes.
Ryan (31:23):
And how about you?
What are you leaving space forfor this season?
Vic (31:27):
I am leaving space for wonder and delight and awe.
Ryan (31:34):
Oh,
Vic (31:35):
well, I think that we have put together a season for 2025
of three topics.
And a Nice list of guestspeakers.
And I think we could all usemore joyful and awe inspired
(31:58):
moments.
And so, I'm gonna leave a bit ofspace for that.
Ryan (32:03):
love that.
Love it.
Love it.
Love it.
Okay.
Well, Vic, I cannot say enough,and I know that we spent our
retro episode last time, talkingabout things that we were
thankful for, and I just want tosay again, like, cannot express
how excited I am and grateful Iam to be doing this with you,
this is going to be a greatseason.
Vic (32:22):
Ditto.
Me too.
Me too.
Ryan (32:26):
All right, everybody.
So that's us and how we'reevolving.
Go coach yourself for the secondseason.
We are so grateful to you forjoining us and hope that you'll
continue to find more insightsand ideas in the three big areas
that we're focused on.
We're Ryan and Vic, and we wantto thank you for joining us
again on Go Coach Yourself.
(32:47):
We'll speak with you next time.
Vic (32:49):

Ryan (33:00):
Yes, cool, cool, cool.
This is cool, cool, cool.
Okay.
Vic (33:05):
That was great by the way.
I love that.
And if you don't like it, I'mputting it as an outtake.
Ryan (33:13):
It's actually, like, it's a character from a TV show
that's stuck in my headsometimes, and he has, like, a
neurotic way of saying, like,Oh, cool, cool, cool.
Like, he just, Oh, okay.
Wow.
So
Vic (33:25):
love it, love it, love it, love it, was like, cool, cool,
cool, cool,
Ryan (33:27):
cool.
Cool.
Cool.
Yeah.
So many outtakes for thisepisode.
Hey Ryan,
Ryan (00:08):
Hey Vic.
Vic (00:10):
you know that feeling when it snows really hard and it's
deep and it's fresh and you cansee the sun glistening on it?
Like that feeling, you know, youcan't wait to get out there and
jump around just generally likehave a snowball fight, play
around.
You know that feeling?
Ryan (00:26):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I got all the snow that I neededliving near Lake Erie for the
first 25 years of my life, andI'll tell you, after childhood,
that feeling went away veryquickly.
Vic (00:39):
Okay, well, that's how I feel about 2025 and our Go Coach
Yourself podcast.
Like a blank canvas, fresh snow,new ideas, limitless
possibilities.
Ryan (00:52):
now that I get.
Because not everybody lovessnow.
And games until it turns intobrown slush.
Welcome to another episode of gocoach yourself, a podcast to
help you get unfucked and buildthe incredible life you deserve.
(01:14):
We're Vic and Ryan two certifiedcoaches trying to change the
world.
One conversation at a time.
So Vic, what are we talkingabout today?
Vic (01:23):
Oh, So exciting.
Today we're going to be sharingwith our listeners what we've
got in store for them.
In this next season of Go CoachYourself.
2025 and the dream is stillalive.
Ryan (01:35):
I'm super excited about this as well.
And if you've listened to ourlast episode, these first two of
the second season are going tobe a little different than our
normal episodes.
Vic (01:45):
We interrupt this broadcast to bring you big news of 2025's
season two of Go Coach Yourself.
Ryan (01:53):
Thank you for that.
We, uh, we're going to give allof you an overview of what's to
come, what our focus is for2025, what's changing, what
we've got staying the same.
And if you want to hear abouthow we felt about Season 1, we
released a retrospective episodetwo weeks ago.
So go check that out.
We had some fun recording it andtalked through a lot of the
(02:14):
things that we learned andreally enjoyed about Season 1.
Vic (02:18):
Oh yeah, we did.
That was, that was a good oneand felt different enough.
Yeah.
Ryan (02:23):
So let's start with something quick What's changing
and what's staying the same andso, you know, staying the same
we're gonna have weekly episodesThat are filled with humor and
laughter and fun we're stillgonna bring our real
perspectives to every topic wetalk about and We're gonna
continue to help our listenersreally connect with Ideas in a
(02:45):
different way and find ways thatthey can coach themselves
through many of life's differentscenarios Vic, do you want to
tell people what's going to bedifferent?
Vic (02:55):
Yeah, and so what's going to be different is that this
season we've got threeoverarching topics and we're
going to share those with you ina little while.
When we did season one, we Picktopics that were important to
us, that we found came up withinour coaching quite often.
(03:16):
They were kind of tools andtechniques we wanted you all to
have.
And this year we're gonna focusa little differently.
We're gonna bring some guestspeakers in these topics, the
guest speakers puts like alittle less pressure on us and
also mixes it up a bit and makesit a little different for you
all listening.
And so should we dive into thethree topics and why they're
(03:37):
important to us?
Ryan (03:38):
I think that's a great place to spend most of our
conversation today because Ithink these are, these are
really going to shape a lot ofwhat we do and I love how you
put that, like it's lesspressure.
And, uh, part of that for me islike, it's really clear in terms
of where we want to focus anddoesn't necessarily feel like
it's a topic free for all witheverything and anything.
Vic (04:00):
Hmm.
Yeah.
We will theme them around thesetopics and we'll signal to you
in the start of the episode thatthis is the topic that we're
talking about today, this is thetheme that it fits into.
Ryan (04:12):
Awesome.
Vic (04:13):
So the three big topics for our episodes
Ryan (04:17):
focus in this second season are going to be as
follows.
Number one, know and be who youare.
Number two, cultivate meaningfulconnections.
And number three, live anintentional life.
And,, before we dig into these,I'll just share a little bit
about, like, how we came up withthis.
(04:38):
we really looked at everythingthat we had worked on, Vic
actually was visiting in person,so we got to have a little bit
of a, an off site on site, uh,which was really fun.
Um, you know, kind of
Vic (04:48):
So good.
Ryan (04:49):
throwback to our days of post it notes and whiteboards.
Vic (04:52):
I was going to say lots of post it notes, lots of Sharpie
markers.
Ryan (04:56):
Yes, And so like, as we, as we focused more on what we
really cared about and what wewanted to talk more about, these
topics just emerged as being thethree that kept coming up again
and again.
And so they're the places we'vedecided to focus.
And so, uh, so what we'll donext is we'll, we'll tell you
about each one and give you alittle more information about
(05:16):
why they mattered for us.
Vic (05:18):
Okay.
So know and be who you are.
The big idea here is clarity ofself is the foundation of
genuine fulfillment.
So we believe that when youtruly know who you are, you know
what your values are, yourmotivations and your desires,
you unlock the ability to pursuea life that feels more genuine
(05:40):
and fulfilling to you.
Clarity of self, it not onlyprovides direction for your
goals, but also strengthens yourconnections with other people
and the world around you.
And for me, this is like thecenter.
It's the knob of everythingthat, that you do and what spans
(06:05):
from you outwards.
Ryan (06:09):
I love that metaphor that makes me think of almost like a
nucleus.
It's like the, the, what makesyou, you is right at the middle
of that, of that nucleus.
This, uh, this topic is super,super important to me as well.
As I think we coach people andas we talk with other people,
um, you know, it's, it comes upagain and again, that so often
(06:31):
people, they're not clear onwhat they want, or they're not
clear on where they're going.
And the thing that feels likeit's.
Many times missing is thatthey've not done the work or
played the game if you don'tlike the idea of work because it
doesn't have to be hard of likereally figuring out who you are.
(06:52):
What makes you special?
What do you care about?
What is your purpose?
And so this really, you know,not only is it an important
topic, but it really feels likeit's at the core of everything
we do from the coachingpractices that we run to ignite
the spark that I teach to themanager work that you lead and
helping managers understand whothey are at their best.
(07:13):
Um, you know, that's, it's justso important to be clear about.
That internal point of viewbefore before we can start
moving towards other things AndI truly believe that not only
does it actually help you seethe end point or the direction
that you're going, but itactually clears the path.
Like it helps you get there in away that feels so much more
(07:34):
easeful and so much morepurposeful.
So I cannot wait to dig moreinto this one.
Vic (07:41):
Yeah, me too.
I, the thing about this one thatexcites me is that we touched a
number of these topics in seasonone, you know, so we talked
about purpose.
We talked about values.
And I think that in season two,we're going to take that a
little deeper in that this, thisThis concept of continual
(08:03):
growth, and so you might knowsomething about yourself, but we
as humans are constantlychanging and being shaped by the
experiences that we have, and soself knowledge, self
understanding is something thatI just think it's constantly
shifting and I love this ideathat we're really gonna dig into
(08:26):
that this season and you know,I'm happy to bring listeners
along with us.
Ryan (08:32):
Mmm, so good.
Yeah, because how often dopeople create a life that's
built on a version of themselvesthat's what they think someone
else wants?
Or a version of themselves thattheir parents always, you know,
put on them as something thatwas maybe exciting, but really
isn't maybe 100 percent true towho they are today.
(08:53):
I think, going deep in terms ofunderstanding who you are and
who you are at your best.
And how that can totally reshapeyour entire journey.
Vic (09:04):
ain't that the truth.
You know, I have a leadingchange and transitions session
that, um, I often do withleaders, but also with
individual contributors.
And, you know, one of theconcepts I talk about there is
that often we look at change asour current self.
And so we stand and we look atthat thing that we've got to
(09:25):
move to the change that'shappening with everything that
we hold now without realizingthat by the time we get there,
we will also have changed themovement to that new place
creates new experiences andcreates a change within us.
And so often when it's hard tosee, you know, you.
(09:49):
embodying, living that change.
It's because you're doing itfrom, from the position you're
at now without this concept,without this growth mindset that
you will change as well as thething that's changing.
Ryan (10:01):
Mm, for
Vic (10:02):
And so, yeah, I'm super excited to get into, to get into
this, this
Ryan (10:07):
me too.
Me too.
There's so much, so much toexplore.
All right, ready for topic two.
Vic (10:15):
Let's dig in.
Ryan (10:16):
So, cultivate meaningful connections.
The big idea that we want toshare here is that connection is
currency, and how you spend itshapes your life.
We really believe thatconnection is one of the most
valuable assets that each of ushas, um, literally thinking of
it like currency that you haveto invest for building trust,
(10:36):
fostering meaningfulrelationships, and creating a
more fulfilling life.
The way that we eachindividually invest in
connection and how we choose tospend that currency has a
lasting impact, not only onourselves, but the people around
us, whether it be family,friends, colleagues, et cetera.
Vic (10:56):
Mm.
Ryan (10:57):
And so this, this one is really important to me,
especially this idea that, youknow, our, our connection is
currency because it really putsa sharp point on that idea that
you, you, you invest You onlyhave so much at any given time,
and so you have to be reallythoughtful around the
connections that you arecurating, the relationships that
(11:20):
you are building, and the onesthat you're putting more
investment into our originaltopic here was focused on
building meaningfulrelationships, but as we
continue to talk it through, itwas so much clearer that this
was about connection and formingconnection, whether it was in a
very brief moment.
We've talked about, you know, Ifyou create that connection
(11:42):
between yourself and the localbarista that you see every
morning, you don't have to havea deep, meaningful, long lived
relationship there in the waythat we often think about
meaningful relationships.
But that connection can changethe course of your day.
It can change your mood.
It can change the other person,uh, in really positive ways.
And so we wanted to make surethat we Could really get clear
(12:05):
about you know, this isn't justabout having a great partner
relationship or you knowBuilding that relationship with
a boss or a colleague It'sreally about the day to day
connection that we have with oneanother and how we choose to put
our focus on that
Vic (12:20):
hmm.
Mm hmm.
Yes to all of that.
And whenever I think aboutConnection, I, I, I think about
the Brené Brown work, and that,you know, we, she often says, we
are hardwired for Connection.
You know, there are extensivestudies around health and well
being showing that deep andauthentic connections contribute
(12:44):
to better mental and physicalhealth.
And I love this idea of editingwhat are the connections that
you have, where are you puttingyour time and energy, and is it
worth it?
Are you putting all your effortsinto connections that don't
(13:07):
serve you, that don't lift youup, that don't give you
something that enhances yourlife.
And you know, we're going totake a good hard look at this.
And you know, for some of us, wehave family or friend or, you
know, loved one relationshipsThey don't serve us.
And so we're gonna, we're gonnadeeply look at what is a
(13:32):
meaningful connection and how doyou get more of them?
Ryan (13:38):
There are two really big concepts within this area.
Uh, one of which has been avalue of mine for a really long
time.
And one of which is somethingthat I've actually started
developing a new relationshipwith over the last couple of
years.
So the value is trust.
And for me, that was thestarting point of all of this
was.
(13:59):
Focusing on trust and I think aswe got clearer about what this
topic was, it, it became veryobvious that trust was a really
critical component, but notnecessarily like the whole thing
and, uh, you know, we'll, we'llexplore in different episodes.
How, how you can build trust,how you can repair trust.
Um, and really what does thatlook like?
(14:21):
I think it's a really, reallycore idea that we could all
spend more time talking about.
The second concept is the ideaof love and how this creates
connection beyond just romanticlove.
Over the last couple of years,I've really tried to lean into
the idea of expressing love forthose in my life that I really
(14:43):
care about.
Uh, because I want them to knowhow important they are to me.
And this, like I said, goesbeyond, obviously, family or
romantic relationships.
But like, who are the people inyour life that are so important
to you, like that you would doanything for them?
Nearly anything for and that youreally want to make sure you
investing the right amount oftime and energy in because they
(15:06):
do give you something back andyou give them something and so I
really I'm excited to explorethat further and help
dimensionalize what love couldlook like, you know, more
broadly than maybe some of usthink about it today.
Vic (15:18):
Am really into the research now around how, Um, often people
get into a romanticrelationship, they find a
significant other, they, buy ahouse, they settle down.
And I'm doing that in airquotes, you know, like they get
married or whatever that mightbe.
And that romantic significantother becomes their central
(15:44):
focal points for all their loveand connection.
And that is unhealthy.
Like, I'm really interested inthis power of the friendship
circle that, like, it can besitting around it, it can be,
you know, equal to, it's thisidea that we are closing our
(16:06):
lives down to this, four or fivepeople that often we're related
to or, you know, where there's,there's some, some familial or
relational element to it thatisn't necessarily friendship.
And so I'm, yeah, like I'm allabout the, the love that is in
(16:31):
between all of those otherthings.
Yes.
Ryan (16:34):
For sure.
We're going to talk about guestsand a little bit after we finish
this, this overview, but who'swho is absolutely going to be a
guest for this topic?
Vic (16:44):
Without a doubt, our friend, Phil.
Absolutely 100%.
Ryan (16:51):
so Vic, I think that gives folks a good idea of what it is
that's important for us aroundcultivating meaningful
connections.
Great.
So, uh, so why don't you bringus, bring us home with live an
intentional life and tell folksa little bit about that.
Yeah, Live an intentional life.
So the big idea here is aboutchoice, so living
Vic (17:12):
a life that aligns with your purpose.
And you know, we believe thatliving intentionally means that
you align your actions,decisions, aspirations with your
purpose and values.
So it's about defining whatharmony looks like for you.
Recognizing the privilege ofchoice and then using it to
(17:33):
create a life of meaning andimpact.
And one of the things that is soimportant to me.
about this topic is that I thinkeverybody's life should have
purpose and meaning.
And I think that people shouldbe making value and purpose
(17:56):
driven decisions.
So when they're at choice, theyhave something that they're
choosing from that's informingthat choice.
And I think often People don't.
And that's not because itdoesn't exist for them.
It's because they haven't donethe work.
(18:17):
They haven't realized yet.
But imagine the power if therewas intention behind that,
behind life, behind choice,behind decisions, like
unstoppable, unstoppable.
Ryan (18:31):
absolutely.
I couldn't, couldn't agree morewith that idea of the power of
choice and, you know, how beingbeing in that is such a game
changer.
And.
In this topic, I think it's veryeasy for us to jump to, well,
not everybody has the, has theprivilege of choice.
And I think we'll explorethrough our conversations that
(18:53):
there are absolutely privilegesthat give people more choice or
different choices.
But I think at the core of it,all of us have the ability to
give ourselves the gift ofshowing up intentionally.
Making choices intentionally,and moving toward things in a
way that feels aligned with whatwe care about.
Vic (19:13):
Yeah, and I, I think there's, you know, I want to go
back to this idea of choice and,um, that we absolutely are at
choice in how we think
Ryan (19:26):
Mm hmm.
How we act
Vic (19:29):
that, is the choice that we make every single moment of
every single day.
Like that choice is ours.
Like do we, do we act in serviceof?
who we are, who we want tobecome, or do we act in service
of old patterns, the oldthoughts that no longer serve
(19:50):
us.
This idea of an intentional lifeis, I think it's, there's real
power here to transform in howyou view yourself, your
connections, and the impact youhave on the world.
Ryan (20:05):
So true.
So true.
There's a, there's somethingthere that you, that you
mentioned.
It's, it's really about how youview it.
And I really think that theconversations we're going to
have here are going to reallyhelp.
shape or reshape the perspectivethat people have, uh, about what
it looks like to liveintentionally.
Because I think it's also, youknow, probably a common enough
(20:29):
experience that each of us hasseen that person in our lives
that it's like, Oh, like, lookhow easy their life looks or
look how well things are goingfor them.
And to be in a place of, um, aplace of like, you know, envy or
judgment of ourselves.
And like, why isn't thathappening for me?
And I'll tell you, one of thebiggest secrets, I think, is
that those people are justliving intentionally, and
(20:52):
they're living through choice,and it's not magic.
So, I think everybody, everybodyhas access to this.
Vic (20:59):
They do and I think the, um, I think the interesting
thing here is that, um, once youstart thinking more
intentionally and acting moreintentionally, for me, it's like
you stand at the top of theprecipice and when you do, you
(21:19):
make that decision, you want todo it.
It's all downhill.
Ryan (21:22):
Mm.
Vic (21:23):
Maybe precipice isn't the right word.
Maybe it's like the top of themountain or whatever that is.
But it's, it's all downhill.
It just gets so much easier eachtime you, you make a new
decision.
Ryan (21:35):
Yep.
Absolutely.
Can't wait for moreconversations and, and guests,
because I think we're going tohave a lot of folks that have
led really intentional lives,that we're going to talk to.
Vic (21:47):
Okay.
Let's tease some of those guestsnow in terms of across these
three topics.
Who our listeners can expect tohear from.
Ryan (21:58):
Great.
We've already actually startedthese conversations and I have
to tell you, they have been somuch fun, uh, partly because
it's just something new for usand a different way for us to
have a conversation, but mostly,Because the people that we are
going to have conversations withare just, hands down, incredible
people.
I know that if you're listeningto any of our episodes where we
(22:20):
have guests that you will knowthat these are people that we
really admire and are peoplethat we really think are going
to bring the best of a point ofview around one of these big
three topics.
And so we've already talked witha couple folks, in the space of
living an intentional life.
Um, so Vic, do you want to talka little bit about our first
guest?
Vic (22:42):
Yeah, so our first guest is Paul Middleton.
He is the founder of 1st90 Andhe is talking to us about the
power of habits.
To build an intentional life.
And this is a really greatepisode because we dig into what
are the components of anintentional life and how do you
(23:06):
build an intentional lifethrough your day to day mindsets
and habits, such a good episode.
Ryan (23:13):
so good.
And then our second guest thatwe've talked to, is an amazing
woman named Keri Harvey and Keriis actually Vic's personal
trainer who you work
Vic (23:25):
whoop.
whoop.
Ryan (23:27):
Who you work with at form fitness bk there in brooklyn it
was my first time meeting KeriObviously you've known Keri for
a couple of years now prettyclosely and i've just got to say
like The conversation was sofun.
she has got an amazing storythat she'll share with you.
And, Vic really has shared thatstory in day to day
(23:47):
conversation.
But talking with Keri, like theinspiration came through so
powerfully, she's going to helpus explore how she's moved
toward the life that she's builtwith intention and talks about
how living an intentional lifedoesn't mean living a perfect
life.
Keri just an incredible human,and, uh, I'm a little jealous
that you get to know her, uh,so, so closely, but,
Vic (24:11):
get to know her too.
Everyone does actually, afterthis episode which is going to
be amazing.
Yeah.
And then some other guests thatwe'll welcome Dr.
Andre Martin, who is anorganizational psychologist.
He does lots of work withorganizations around culture.
He's an author of Wrong FitRight Fit, which is a book that
(24:33):
he recently published to helpindividuals understand what it
means to have the right fit atwork and what you might want to
consider as to whether yourorganization is the right fit
for you.
So we'll have Andre come in andtalk to us too.
Who else have we got Ryan?
Ryan (24:52):
Awesome we also have, a good friend Francesca Ranieri
joining us.
So Fran is actually the co hostof the Your Work Friends
podcast, which we've mentionedhere before.
And,
Vic (25:05):
if you haven't listened to it, you should.
It's amazing.
Ryan (25:09):
Yourworkfriends.
com.
You'll find everything you needto connect with Fran and her co
host Mel.
Fran is also the founder of herown consulting organization
called Frank Strategy.
She just launched Frank about ayear ago and is having some
really, really coolconversations.
Changing the way thatorganizations, specifically
(25:30):
corporations think about howthey achieve things and how they
do things and are aligned withpurpose and values in new ways.
And so I'm super excited tospeak with her further about the
work that she's doing and reallywhat she sees as, the future
because Fran is by all means,uh, a, a futurist and someone
who just loves understandingwhat's to come.
Vic (25:52):
She is also a kick ass human.
So, cannot wait.
Cannot wait.
Ryan (26:00):
Continuing the list of kick ass humans, we have Dorothy
Chang, who's going to be joiningus as well.
So Dorothy is a fellow co activecoach that Vic and I both met
through CTI.
She is the leader of DYY ChangConsulting, where she helps
organizations really understandthe conditions that they create
(26:20):
for employees and do so from alens of equitability and
progressive thinking around,around how they operate.
She's also worked previouslywith companies like Amazon and
the Chan Zuckerberg initiative,where she has led initiatives
around DEI, diversity, equity,equity, and inclusion, uh, to
(26:41):
really help those organizations,uh, bring their purpose to life
more effectively.
Can't wait for Dorothy to joinus.
She is, she is such an amazinghuman and has so many great
ideas.
Vic (26:53):
One of the amazing things about Dorothy is that she is so
humble that she is almostuncomfortable with, in fact she
is, there's no almost about it,but she is uncomfortable with
any level of praise and so we'rejust signalling right here that
we love Dorothy and so theremight be some uncomfortable
(27:17):
moments when we have her on theshow.
Ryan (27:21):
Can't wait for folks to, to meet her as well.
So those are just a few of thefolks that we have on the books
to get started for season two'sguests.
Um, as we mentioned earlier, ourfriend, Phil Brezel, we're, uh,
we're coming to you soon.
So you just know, just know thatthe ask is there.
We'd love to, we'd love to talkwith you.
Vic (27:40):
Yeah.
Ryan (27:48):
Why don't we wrap up having a little conversation
around some things that we'relooking forward to and some
things that we're leaving spacefor as we lean into season two.
Vic (27:57):
Mm.
Love that.
I'm going first.
If you didn't know, I am lookingforward to spending more time
with you on the topics that welove.
Ryan (28:13):
Me too, like that's, it's always great to spend time
together and we've always talkedabout stuff that we love here,
but I do, I do really have alevel of excitement that feels
fresh and even more focused forthis season because it's like,
Oh, these are the things thatreally, really matter.
And so, yeah, I agree.
Vic (28:32):
Yeah.
What are you looking forward to?
Ryan (28:36):
Yeah, so for me, I'm really looking forward to the
end of the season.
And I say that Not because
Vic (28:45):
Please explain.
Ryan (28:46):
not, because I'm in a rush to get there or I'm like, Oh, I
can't wait for this to be over.
Uh, but I think back to thestart of season one and knowing
kind of at the outset of thatseason, that there were going to
be so many things that we hadlearned and so many new points
of view that we had, andliterally that has led us to
(29:07):
where we are today.
And so I'm just excited abouthow.
The conversations we havecontinue to shape the podcast,
continue to shape, ourrelationship and how we show up
in our respective spaces in theworld.
And, you know, I'm reallyexcited to find out, is it
actually going to be importantfor us to zoom in even further
on just one of these topics?
(29:29):
Are these the topics for seasontwo?
And then we'll have new seasonthree topics.
Uh, so I'm, I'm really lookingforward to trying this out,
learning from it and honestlyjust having a lot of fun.
Vic (29:41):
I love that.
I love that.
What are you leaving space
Ryan (29:47):
Hmm.
So, uh, I don't know that I'veshared this on an episode
previously, but one of the, oneof the big reasons that I really
was excited about podcasting wasbecause I have done blogging and
writing of long form content inthe past.
And it's honestly really kind ofdraining for me in terms of an
activity.
And so I'm like, Oh, a podcastwill be great.
(30:09):
We have great conversations andthat doesn't require me to write
a damn thing.
Fast forward to writing apodcast surprise surprise.
It actually involves a lot ofwriting
Vic (30:20):
Yep.
Ryan (30:21):
and so I I say that as a lead in to say that season one,
you know Really I think helpedus to understand what was
required to really build anepisode And I also think that
that was a learning ground andnow as we move into season two I
want to continue You bringinggreat content to life for our
(30:42):
listeners and having greatconversations, but what I want
to leave space for is a littlemore messiness.
I want to leave space to not 100percent know what it is that
we're going to say, but just beokay with it because, you know
what?
The magic of editing can help usmake it sound really good.
Vic (31:01):
Oh, I love that one of the things we said we wanted this
year in this season and 2025 wasless scripted moments and more
what, what occurs to you rightnow as you're having the
conversation.
And so I love that you'releaving space for messy.
(31:21):
Yes.
Yes.
Ryan (31:23):
And how about you?
What are you leaving space forfor this season?
Vic (31:27):
I am leaving space for wonder and delight and awe.
Ryan (31:34):
Oh,
Vic (31:35):
well, I think that we have put together a season for 2025
of three topics.
And a Nice list of guestspeakers.
And I think we could all usemore joyful and awe inspired
(31:58):
moments.
And so, I'm gonna leave a bit ofspace for that.
Ryan (32:03):
love that.
Love it.
Love it.
Love it.
Okay.
Well, Vic, I cannot say enough,and I know that we spent our
retro episode last time, talkingabout things that we were
thankful for, and I just want tosay again, like, cannot express
how excited I am and grateful Iam to be doing this with you,
this is going to be a greatseason.
Vic (32:22):
Ditto.
Me too.
Me too.

Ryan (33:13):

that's stuck in my headsometimes, and he has, like, a
neurotic way of saying, like,Oh, cool, cool, cool.
