Over the course of his career, Robert Peterson has worn more hats than most: Marine, Pastor, Missionary, Author, Entrepreneur, Podcast Host, and Coach. This breadth of experience, coupled with time spent in Costa Rica and Colombia, informs his work with entrepreneurs and his authorship as well. His powerful message: Believe in yourself; you have value that the world needs. And you just have to bel...

Growing up in America, we're always asked "what do you want to be when you grow up?" Which in and of itself is fine; but very rarely do we get asked who you want to be when you grow up. Genesis Amaris Kemp is all about finding the answers to the second question, in order to complement the answer to the first. Working in a pre-ordained space in a pre-ordained job is where she found herself for seve...

Creating a startup and making it succeed is not an easy thing. Usually, it takes a combination of experience, teamwork, business acumen, and lessons learned in past ventures to truly bring the vision to life. Just ask Dan Fisher and Brett Singer. They are the principals and founders of Bottle Rocket Media in Chicago, IL.  Their venture has grown into the #1 Chicago-based video production agency, g...

Too many of us have been shown the path we are supposed to take, regardless of whether we think it's the path we should take; that road dead ends in frustration and feeling unfulfilled. Here, Kassi Cheirogeorgou shares where and how her path in life detoured away from the "proper" course she was following, essentially living two completely separate lives at work and at home, and how she found happ...

Many people in the professional world consider neurodivergence a nuisance. After all, divergent means different, and fitting those circular pegs into the square holes of corporate life doesn't always lead to the best of outcomes. Which is why sometimes the roadmap to career success for neurodivergents involves taking the road less traveled.  Take it from Karina Schulz. She has spent her working li...

To say that the tech space has been a less than welcoming place for women to work is like saying you'll get slightly damp if you're caught outside in a hurricane; massive understatements to say the least. Limor Bergman knows this well. As a software engineer, engineer manager, and director of engineering in a career spanning two decades, Limor has had to navigate a workplace that is often outright...

In order to succeed in one's career, all aspects of life need to be in balance. So many of us think that the solutions to problems at work are always found at work when often the exact opposite is true. What's going on at home and in your personal life has just as much, if not more so, of an impact upon mental well-being in the workplace. Remember, there's no time clock on the adage "You cannot po...

'Adversity' is a word that conjures up so many images in one's mind. Challenge. Disempowerment. Difficulty. Rejection. For some though, it brings to mind something else: opportunity. Opportunity for change, for a breakthrough; this is how Jovan Glasgow uses adversity. Listen in as Jovan explains his approach to life and learn about using all of your experiences, both the good and the bad, as the r...

We are all born with natural gifts. Whether we know what exactly those are is another thing altogether. Corrie LoGiudice seemingly had it all: she ran a successful business, had a lovely home in Brooklyn, and was a happy mother. But underneath the overwhelm was there, the straw ready to break the camel's back. And when the breaking point came and went, it left in its wake the blueprint for change....

To many of us the phrase 'Life as a Digital Nomad' sounds like something straight out of a fairy-tale: simply too good to be true. Or attainable by us, at the least. Isabel Leong is here to debunk that myth. She has taken her career fully nomadic, having traveled in and worked from over 40 different countries. Listen in as she talks about the challenges she has faced and overcome, and get all the...

We've all heard it before: "This call may be monitored for training purposes." It's been said to us so many times now that we don't even blink at how misguided the whole sentiment is! Craig Knight is a researcher who studies and consults in the psychology of workplace satisfaction, and we're so happy we got him on the line to discuss his insight into creating engaging and positive workplaces. Want...
