Joe Cooper has what he calls: “a very precise life vision” for himself in which he actively sees himself as a character in a movie of his life. Now THAT’s pretty darn fascinating… What I love about it is that Joe is in effect continuously tapping into an alternate reality, literally a reality that he’s painted…

Two things stood out to me about the incredibly rich conversation I had this week with Calmetta Coleman (@Calmetta) – a former reporter at The Wall Street Journal and a former colleague of mine: The first: was the depths to which the universe seemed to be conspiring to get Calmetta to write for a living;…

What if each of our careers was nothing more than a way for the universe to express some singular idea? Literally, through each of us, a single unique idea. I ask, because, in listening to this week’s guest, who today is the Editor-in-Chief of BuzzFeed, I couldn’t help but notice that one idea, one singular…

This week’s guest jokes that she was her parent’s “beta” shipment – which is typically: that first tech product that goes out the door with all its imperfections. And despite whatever imperfections Lisa Stone (@LisaStone) may have had, the now indisputable fact is: this product was clearly solid enough for her to eventually become the co-founder…

This week’s guest, Jim Lin (@BusyDadBlog), gives us a front row seat to a concept that most of us – I think – have an easier time grasping in our minds than we do actually living in our everyday lives, and that is: the concept of joy. Admittedly, through no fault of his own, Jim…

After my conversation with Ricki Morris, I couldn’t help but wonder whether I and many others like Ricki and me – who for so long have struggled to pinpoint our authentic careers – had been asking ourselves the wrong soul-searching question all this time. Instead of always asking ourselves what it is we can possibly…

At one point in his career, this week’s guest: food writer, Jesse Hirsch (@Jesse_Hirsch), did something that on the surface might seem quite ordinary : he emailed the publisher of a fledgling food magazine in Queens, NY, a magazine that had long piqued his interest, because – of all things – he had found a…

You can call this week’s guest by many names : author, media trainer, blogger, crisis communicator, food writer and journalist. Those are and have been Tom Barritt’s job titles throughout the years. But, no matter which of these you call him, underneath it all, Tom has always been the most human of human storytellers. And to…

I had a conversation recently with Jenn Dahm Peterson (@jenndahm13), a Language Strategist at Maslansky & Partners (@WhatTheyHear). Listening to Jenn, I was struck by two particular aspects of her career that I think are worth pondering. The first, as you’ll soon hear, was a particular moment in time right after graduating college when Jenn…

My conversation with the ever eye-opening, Nancy Martira (@nancy_martira), reminded me of a simple and fundamental truth that I think is worth elevating every once in a while to our consciousness, and that is: that each and every one of us is ultimately shot into the world from the cannon of our upbringing – and…
