Tuesday Aug 18, 2020
Jeff Kinsey joins me on the podcast to explore the insights that led to a radical lifestyle and career transformation. We also dive deep into his unique way of helping leaders and teams be more human as a coach and organizational consultant. A former banker, Jeff discovered that there was a different way to live, and followed insight and wisdom in moving with his family to the mountains of Colorado. His current vocation soon emerged, serving clients through his company, The Logos Group.
In this podcast we discuss:
- What being stuck in a snowstorm at 13,000 feet taught Jeff about dealing with challenges.
- How the mind works and it’s our natural capacity to find peace and calm.
- Finding direction and solving problems through wisdom and insight.
- Jeff’s motivation for taking the road less traveled, and reimagining life and work.
- The single master skill every leader needs to cultivate.
- Why suffering is optional when it comes to doing great work.
...and much more!

#19 - Flexing Your Creative Muscle
Monday Jul 27, 2020
Monday Jul 27, 2020
When was the last time you created something from scratch? If you need to think more than a few seconds about it, chances are you are missing a key ingredient to a satisfying and successful day.
We worry about not getting enough water, sleep, fresh air, sunshine or protein. There are books and podcasts dedicated to filling up our physical tank with the “good” stuff. Yet, very few talk about the value of being insightfully generative and creative. I argue that it’s as important as sleep. The feeling of satisfaction that comes from creating something from scratch is remarkable. It trumps a runners high, and I’ve done a lot of running in my years!
In this podcast I cover:
- What happens when we aren't using our creative talents
- Research on the role creative tendencies play in work and business performance
- An easy method for unlocking your innate creativity

#18 - Austin Belcak Shares His Best Strategies For Landing Your Dream Job
Monday Jan 21, 2019
Monday Jan 21, 2019
Austin Belcak joins me on this episode of the podcast to discuss unconventional methods for landing your dream job. Austin and I both believe that the current system for finding and landing jobs is broken (both for hiring managers and those seeking jobs). There is a lot of noise and not enough signal. Early sidetracks (or missteps) in one’s career or education also can be seemingly insurmountable barriers to overcome when trying to level-up in a career or make a radical change in vocation. What can we do about it?
Austin was forced to think creatively when it came to landing his job at Microsoft. With a 2.5 GPA and a modest amount of work experience, he discovered a variety of methods and strategies for finding ways to add real value to employers and convince decision-makers to bet on him.
Listen to this episode where we cover:
*How Austin landed a great job at Microsoft, without a stellar GPA or prior career experience.
*What motivated Austin to start a side business while working full-time.
*The most viciously misleading advice most job seekers blindly follow.
*How to start a career in a new field, with no connections.
*Why applying to jobs online is ineffective, and what to do about it.
…and much more!
