    Why Vision and Action Aren’t Enough to Create Change with Kelly Dwyer

    In this solo episode of Life From Within, I explore why meaningful personal and professional change can be so difficult, especially in a world shaped by chronic stress, uncertainty, and constant disruption. Using the Beckhard-Harris Change Equation as a starting point, I share why I believe this classic framework needs an update for modern life and leadership. I introduce what I call the Life From Within Change Formula and explore the role of agency: the inner capacity that helps us move from insight into action. Tune in for a practical and reflective look at resistance, nervous system attunement, perspective shifting, and what it takes to step into your next chapter with more clarity and resourcefulness. 💡Key Takeaways and HighlightsWhy frameworks matter: How a simple thinking tool can help make sense of complex personal and professional change.The classic change equation: A practical look at the Beckhard-Harris model and why it has helped leaders understand transformation for decades.Where change gets stuck: Why dissatisfaction, vision, and action steps often are not enough when stress and resistance enter the picture.The missing modern variable: The additional capacity I believe we need in today’s world to move from insight into meaningful action.How agency is rebuilt: Why nervous system attunement and perspective shifting matter when you are trying to make a consequential change.The role of coaching: How this updated formula helps clients move from overwhelm, paralysis, or “comfortable misery” into clearer, more resourced action.

    When Your Strengths Become Shadows: Using the Enneagram for Growth with Micah Mador

    In this episode of the Life From Within podcast, I chat with ops, partnerships, and community consultant Micah Mador to explore how deep self-awareness transforms personal and professional growth. Micah shares his personal evolution from identifying as an Enneagram Type 7 (The Enthusiast) to discovering his core of Type 2 (The Helper), and how redefining his identity shaped his consulting work in the venture capital and startup ecosystems. Together, we unpack the dynamics of the Enneagram triads and analyze what happens when an individual's greatest workplace strength is overdone and turns into a shadow or weakness. 💡Key Takeaways and HighlightsShifting Profiles: From Enneagram 7 to Enneagram 2: Embracing his identity as an "enthusiastic helper" ultimately became the anchor for his independent consulting business.My Path to Type 9: Kelly recounts her realization of being an Enneagram Type 9 (The Peacemaker/Mediator) and navigating the initial resistance to that type's core aversion to conflict.Understanding the Enneagram Positivity Triad: Twos, sevens, and nines compose the Enneagram’s harmonic "positivity triad," meaning they easily see silver linings and future possibilities.Overcoming Conflict Avoidance & The Clearing Model: “Never expect an unrecognized need to be met.” Chapters 00:00 | Introduction to Micah Mador 04:03 | The Enthusiastic Helper 06:31 | How to Navigate Learning Your Enneagram Number 11:04 | Using the Enneagram Triad for Team Dynamics 17:55 | Navigating Conflict and Self-Expression 20:19 | Understanding Giving and Receiving Help as Enneagram 2 and 9 25:31 | Exploring Personal Energy and Commitment 32:04 | Authenticity in Entrepreneurial Journeys 37:09 | The Enneagram Triad in Professional and Personal Life 41:44 | Creativity and Generativity in Leadership 43:57 | The Enneagram and Its Depth in Understanding Self 48:40 | Your Free Enneagram Assessment Resources Mentioned: ColoradoStartups.org: https://coloradostartups.org/ The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile - https://www.amazon.com/Road-Back-You-Enneagram-Self-Discovery/dp/0830846190 The Clearing Model - https://conscious.is/resource/the-clearing-model/ Give First / Startup Communities by Brad Feld - https://www.amazon.com/Give-First-Mentorship-Brad-Feld/dp/1646871324 Previous Episode: Life From Within interview with Darrin Murriner, Co-Founder and CEO of Cloverleaf - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-builders-path-ai-leadership-and-the/id1840787981?i=1000769619191 Free Cloverleaf Enneagram Assessment - https://www.kellydwyer.co/enneagram Guest Micah is a VC/PE Ops, Partnerships, and Community consultant, a startup community instigator, and an outdoor enthusiast.

  3. The Builder’s Path: AI, Leadership, and the Conversations We Still Have to Have with Darrin Murriner

    The Builder’s Path: AI, Leadership, and the Conversations We Still Have to Have with Darrin Murriner

    In today’s episode, I have Darrin Murriner, the co-founder and CEO of Cloverleaf. Darrin shares his journey from spending 15 years in the structured corporate world to launching an automated team coaching platform. Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, Darrin spent 15 years in the corporate world with roles in risk management and auditing at Munich Re, Arthur Andersen, and Fifth Third Bank. He is also the author of two books, Corporate Bravery and Thrive, both focused on helping organizations build adaptable cultures in the face of uncertainty. We talk about what it truly means to step out on your own, the distinct difference between identifying as a "builder" versus an "entrepreneur," and the mindset shift needed to navigate constant rejection during fundraising. Darrin also offers profound insights into how Cloverleaf intentionally uses AI to coach human behavior rather than replace it, and why teaching the next generation to embrace discomfort is vital for long-term success. 💡Key Takeaways and HighlightsThe Breaking Point in Corporate Life: A severe compliance challenge served as the catalyst for Darrin to finally step away. He emphasizes the absolute necessity of open communication and financial planning with a partner before making a major career leap. Surviving the Arthur Andersen Collapse: Early in his career, Darrin lived through the sudden overnight disappearance of Arthur Andersen during the Enron scandal. He was part of a 700-person group that broke off to form a new brand under Robert Half, giving him his first taste of building from scratch.The "Builder" Identity vs. "Entrepreneur": Darrin views true entrepreneurship as being an explorer, akin to Lewis and Clark, navigating spaces without a clear map.AI as a Coach, Not an "Easy Button": Darrin discusses Cloverleaf’s intentional integration of AI, noting that the platform focuses on driving long-term behavior change and real-world dialogue.Overcoming the Soul-Crushing "No": Reflecting on fundraising, Darrin details how shifting his mindset to view rejection as a standard process—where it regularly takes 50 to 100 nos to get a single yes—helped him stop taking business rejection personally.Building Resilience in Gen Z: As a father of three teenagers, Darrin shares his perspective on the high levels of career stress and anxiety in younger generations. He emphasizes the critical need for parents to intentionally push youth into uncomfortable situations to build resilience before they enter the workforce. Chapters 00:00 | Introduction 02:19 | Corporate Experiences and Realizations: Darrin's Journey 04:43 | Discovering the Builder Within 08:37 | The Decision to Leave Corporate Life 10:53 | Planning for Transition 14:30 | Building Cloverleaf and Its Mission 17:36 | The Role of AI in Team Dynamics 18:17 | The Human Element in AI Integration 25:19 | Introspection Lessons from Building a Business 34:22 | The Importance of Shifting Your Mindset with Career Pivots Guest Darrin Murriner is the Cofounder and CEO of Cloverleaf.me - a technology platform that is bringing automated team coaching to the entire enterprise through real-time, customized coaching in the tools employees use everyday (calendar, email & Slack / Teams). The result is better collaboration, improved employee relationships and a more engaged workforce. Prior to starting Cloverleaf, Darrin had a 15 year corporate career that spanned Munich Re, Arthur Andersen and Fifth Third Bank. Darrin is also the author of Corporate Bravery and Thrive, books focused on building organizational cultures that thrive in the face of change and uncertainty.

    From Calculating to Sensing: AI, Complexity, and Human Agency with Ryan Martens

    In a world increasingly dominated by AI, how do we ensure that technology amplifies our humanity rather than eroding it? In this episode of Life From Within, I talk with Ryan Martens, a serial entrepreneur in software services, SaaS, and AI, as well as Pledge 1%. He was the founder of Rally Software, which became the first public B-Corp in 2013. Ryan has spent his career at the leading edge of technology, and today he is exploring how to amplify humans using AI. We talk about why AI requires us to be more human, not less, and how to navigate the shift from a "complicated" world of answers to a "complex" world of patterns. 💡Key TakeawaysThe AI Bell Curve: Ryan explains why AI defaults to the "middle of the normal distribution curve."From Calculating to Sensing: In a complicated system (like a car engine), there is a right answer. In a complex system (like AI, climate, or leadership), there are only patterns. Ryan discusses the shift from being a "human calculator" to a "senser" who experiments and listens.Human-Centered Tech: A look at Ryan’s current work with MNFST AI. Instead of building tools that replace the person, he is focused on tools that require "human-in-the-loop" engagement, fostering collaboration between human intuition and machine processing.The Importance of Grounding: Why engaging with AI requires you to be first grounded in your own body and thoughts. Ryan shares how practices like morning pages are essential for maintaining human agency in a digital age.Citizen Engineers & Ethical Tech: Reflecting on his journey with Rally Software and Pledge 1%, Ryan discusses the responsibility of creators to build technology that serves the flourishing of the whole system.

    Flipping the Script: Identity, Career Transition, and Becoming with Kelly Dwyer and Elicia Carmichael

    When we face a major career pivot or step into a high-stakes leadership role, we often change more than just our job title. We may lose the ability to "trade" on the value of our previous role, leaving us in a vulnerable gap between who we were and who we are becoming. In this special episode of Life from Within, the tables are turned as Elicia Carmichael interviews Kelly. Moving away from the role of the expert, Kelly shares her own "quarter-life crisis" transition from the high-momentum startup world to the uncertain life of an actor in LA. We discuss the "identity loss" that often blindsides high achievers and how to build the internal scaffolding necessary to support a new version of yourself. 💡Key TakeawaysThe Weight of the Room: Why an executive is never in a "small room," and how your positional power changes the way your words land.Trading on Value: Understanding the specific type of loss that occurs when you move into a field where your previous successes no longer serve as currency.The Decision vs. The Integration: Why the choice to change can happen in a moment, but the integration of a new identity takes months, or even years, of "micro-shifts".Who over What: Shifting the question from "What do I want to do?" to "Who do I want to be?" to find clarity in the middle of complexity. Chapters 00:00 | Introduction 02:42 | My Experience with Identity Loss 10:56 | How to Introduce Yourself in a Meaningful Way 12:43 | Navigating an Identity Change in Your Career 18:14 | The Importance of Taking the Chance 21:18 | The Decision-Making Process 22:04 | Micro Shifts: Building Confidence in Communication 24:27 | Who Do You Want to Be? A Guiding Question 26:36 | Multiple Dreams: Embracing Change in Identity Interviewer Elicia Carmichael focuses her professional energy and boundless curiosity on the intersection of finance and impact. She is the CFO and leader of financial solutions at Labor Mobility Partnerships (LaMP), where she deploys blended capital designs to overcome global migration challenges — turning the global labor/demographics mismatch into prosperity for all. In 2024, she founded the Mobility Finance Network, which unites experts from finance, industry, and migration policy to design and fund financial instruments that make cross-border opportunities accessible for migrants, students, and refugees. Her current initiatives span the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe and are driven by her desire to see safe, legal cross-border growth opportunities available to blue-collar workers. Prior to joining LaMP, Elicia was VP of Strategy for Root Capital, where she led the innovation and business development functions in service of their $100M agricultural development investment portfolio.

    Reclaiming Visibility, Power, and Presence for Women Over 50 with Barbara Brooks and Julie Ciardi

    Reclaiming Visibility, Power, and Presence for Women Over 50 with Barbara Brooks and Julie Ciardi Is midlife a diminishing season or an ignition point? In this powerful double-feature conversation, Kelly talks with Barbara Brooks and Julie Ciardi about age, reinvention, visibility, ambition, and the deeper call many women feel in the second half of life. Barbara shares how ageism at 51 led her to build a movement around experience as power, while Julie reflects on leaving IBM to pursue work that felt more aligned with who she was meant to be. Together, they challenge the narrative that women become less relevant with age. They explore why experience is a business asset, why visibility should match your goals rather than social media trends, how ambition evolves in midlife, and why caring for the body becomes part of the work. At the heart of the episode is a clear message: you are not finished, your voice matters, and it may be time to stop waiting. Key Takeaways: Why age is an asset, not a disadvantage“Middlescence,” the gold age, and reframing the second half of lifeHow visibility changes when you start leading from substanceWhy owning your value is essential before others can value itThe evolution of ambition from proving yourself to serving something biggerThe physical realities of midlife and the need to care for the body alongside the missionFear, conformity, and the courage to use your voice anywayWhy legacy work often begins when you stop waiting Chapters 00:00 | Introduction to Empowering Women in Middlescence 03:25 | Barbara Brooks: The Birth of a Mission 05:09 | Julie Ciardi: A Transformational Moment 07:35 | Redefining Midlife: Middlescence 11:20 | Visibility Differently: How to do it Right 19:15 | The Evolution of Ambition 23:54 | The Responsibility of Legacy Work 24:24 | Facing the Challenges of New Beginnings 26:00 | The Importance of Self-Care 27:17 | Listening to Our Bodies 30:03 | Emerging Convictions and Niche Drama 31:04 | The Power of Female Voices 33:32 | Age as an Asset 35:12 | Valuing Our Experience 36:34 | Embracing Uniqueness and Overcoming Fear 37:50 | Taking Action and Living Fully Guests Barbara Brooks is a nationally recognized entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and founder of SecondActWomen. Through her Experience Is Power platform, she helps organizations unlock the business value of experienced talent across a five-generation workforce. A bold advocate for age inclusion and workforce performance, Barbara has been featured by Forbes, Fast Company, CBS Colorado, PBS Next Avenue, and NBC 9News. She believes beauty knows no age, value has no expiration date, and experience is power. https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbaralbrooks/ barbarabrooks.com and secondactwomen.com https://barbarabrooks.substack.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@BarbaraBrooks Julie Ciardi is the author of 50 Not Finished, a former IBM exec turned 7-figure founder & a mom of three. She is navigating midlife & the adult-children phase of motherhood. There is a big gap in the current menopause conversation - all health, all aesthetics, no “what’s next?” Julie believes that midlife is the start of the Gold Age - not Old Age. She is an advocate for women near or over 50 ready to do their legacy work. Julie rewrote the entire Human Design system by a woman for women to help them get clarity in their midlife calling. She is a Substack Best Seller & runs a global mentorship company for midlife women. https://www.julieciardi.com/ https://substack.com/@julieciardi https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/substack-by-design/id1882801640 https://www.instagram.com/julieciardi/ Host Kelly Dwyer is an executive coach, facilitator, and host of Life from Within, a podcast exploring the inner work of leadership, growth, and career transition.

    How Clarity Arrives When You Stop Forcing the Outcome

    In this solo episode, I reflect on surrender, resistance, and the moments of clarity that energize the path ahead. Whether it’s pivoting to a new career or launching a creative project, we often find ourselves stuck in seeking mode, paralyzed by the need to guarantee an outcome before we even begin. I share two pivotal stories from my own life - transitioning into full-time coaching and launching this very podcast. Surrender is about letting go of the illusion of control so that momentum can finally take over. 💡 Key Takeaways:How to Identify Your Authentic Desire: A genuine spark or idea arises.Ask the big questions (e.g., "What is my next right step?").What is the Wall of Resistance? Fear-based questions like "Will it work financially?" or "What if I quit?"How to shift perspectives to make the resistance crumble.
