    E32 - Lost Some Confidence? Here's How to Move Forward And Take Action Anyway

    Imposter syndrome hits hardest right when you're trying to reinvent. You've been confident in your craft for years, then suddenly you're starting over, pitching a new path, learning new skills, and your brain decides you're "not ready." In this episode, Todd and Chris break down a practical system for building confidence without waiting for it to magically appear. They unpack why "fake it till you make it" gets misunderstood (and what it should mean), how to turn insecurity into curiosity (the fastest antidote), and why confidence is ultimately not about results, it's about trusting yourself to figure it out. You'll learn: Why waiting for confidence keeps you stuck How taking action rewires confidence (and reduces anxiety) The "beginner mind" approach that makes imposter syndrome shrink How to balance inner work (allow & reflect) with bold external action A new definition of confidence you can actually use in real life If doubt is keeping you from sending the DM, making the pitch, launching the thing, or stepping into the room, bookmark this one. **And if this conversation resonates with you, visit ReInvention.biz to explore our guided workbook and join a community of people just like you - people designing what's next. https://ReInvention.biz **Subscribe to the ReInvention Podcast to stay plugged into fresh ideas, frameworks, and real-world tools for navigating the future of your work and life.

    E31 - Creativity Is a Business Skill: How To Crush Imposter Syndrome And Make The Leap!

    In a world obsessed with productivity and profit, creativity can feel "optional." For reinventors, it's the opposite: creativity is a core business skill, and a survival skill for the future of work. In this episode, Todd and Chris break down why ReInvention is inherently creative (you're literally designing your next chapter), and how to make creativity practical - even if you're coming from a structured corporate life. We cover: Why creativity will matter more as AI transforms jobs and industries The biggest trap reinventors fall into: hiding in busywork instead of creating How to block "creative time" like it's a real pillar of your work (and why the to-do list never ends) The truth about imposter syndrome: why it's normal, and what to do anyway A simple rule for creative output: let it be messy first, edit later If you're building a business, launching a portfolio career, writing, posting, creating offers, or trying to figure out your next move…this is your reminder: your uniqueness is the asset.

    E30 - Isolation Is Hurting You: How to Build an Accountability TEAM Around Your Goals

    Successfully reinventing your career (or life) isn't challenging because you lack talent. It's challenging because you try and do it alone. Inspired by the Winter Olympics, Todd and Chris break down the two traits elite performers build their lives around: clarity and accountability. You can have a powerful vision for your next chapter, but without a real accountability system, it stays a dream. In this episode, we dig into the #1 ReInvention killer: isolation - the echo chamber of your own thinking - and how to replace it with a structure that creates momentum, confidence, and follow-through. You'll learn: Why "being busy" isn't the same as progress (and how corporate structure hides that) The two types of accountability every Reinventor needs: self-tracking + external support How to build a simple weekly + monthly self-assessment system that changes behavior fast How to choose the right accountability partners (and why your spouse can't be your whole team) How community, coaching, and peer support turn reinvention from lonely to inevitable Bookmark this if you're building your next chapter and you can feel yourself drifting into solo mode. This is your reminder to stop white-knuckling it and start building your team.

    E29 - How A Stanford Ph.D. Uses 'Product Thinking' To Reinvent Her Career

    Roxana Heitz is the kind of person who "has it all" on paper: Stanford Ph.D., 15+ years of product leadership, and a career building health and wellness products across the Google/Alphabet health ecosystem, Peloton, and others…. So why reinvent? In this episode, Roxana breaks down a tension so many mid-career high performers feel: the work still matters, but the environment doesn't fit anymore. The gap between insight → action gets slow. The process becomes the job. The misalignment grows. Instead of making one massive leap, Roxana applies product thinking to her own career reinvention: form hypotheses, run experiments, collect data, and iterate. The result is a portfolio approach - building flexibility and momentum while she explores what's next. What we cover: The moment corporate success stops feeling aligned, even when the mission is meaningful How Roxana gave herself "permission" to step off the treadmill Designing a portfolio career: advisory/consulting, fractional product leadership, and founder exploration Why "betting on yourself" is a skill - and how to build it without blowing up your life The ReInvention superpower most people skip: feedback, accountability, and community If you're a high-achiever who's quietly thinking, "I can't keep doing it this way," Roxana's story will help you rethink what's possible - and how to move forward with clarity without needing a perfect 20-year plan.

    E28 - Your Midlife ReInvention Needs a SOCIAL Strategy: Profiles, Posting, and Personal Brand

    Are you reinventing your career and not sure how to handle LinkedIn or Social Media in general? In this episode we'll share a proven game plan for your socials, with specific guidelines for people in professional transition. Todd and Chris break down the biggest mistake midlife professionals make during ReInvention: treating social media like a polished "final reveal" instead of a tool for building momentum, community, and opportunity while you're in the process. They talk about the mindset shift that wins right now - authenticity over perfection - especially in an era of AI-generated content and copy-paste posts. You'll learn how to update your profiles without panicking, how to share your ReInvention without oversharing, why the algorithms are more "interest-based" than "Aunt Sally is judging you," and how to create a simple 30–60 day social strategy that helps you find your people (not chase influencer status). Plus: why being a little more real - and even a little more weird - stands out in a world of generic, automated content. If you're in a career transition, building a business, or exploring what's next - this will help you show up online with confidence, clarity, and momentum.

    E27 - A Legendary VC's Take on the Future of Work (and How You Can Win) | Bill Gurley

    What if AI isn't the threat - but the greatest ReInvention Accelerator of your lifetime? In this episode, we sit down with Bill Gurley (legendary Benchmark partner; early investor in Uber, Zillow, Grubhub) to talk about his new book Runnin' Down a Dream and the principles behind building a career you actually want. Bill breaks down why so many people feel stuck on the "college-to-safe-job conveyor belt," and why mid-career can be the best time to make a change - if you approach it with the right mindset. We dig into the difference between low agency (AI feels terrifying) and high agency (AI becomes jet fuel), and Bill shares a practical framework for exploring your next chapter without blowing up your life overnight. In this conversation, we cover: Why career regret is so common, and how to reverse it Bill's "Never Too Late" philosophy for mid-career reinvention How to build a "dream job folder" and test your next path before you leap The smartest way to use mentors, peers, and aspirational models Bill's blunt advice on AI: you can't stop it, so learn to wield it If you're navigating burnout, uncertainty, or the feeling that your work isn't you anymore, this episode is a permission slip + a playbook.

    E26 - Building A New Business Is Lonely! Here's the Fix

    Leaving corporate can feel like freedom, until you hit the point where building your next chapter can feel incredibly lonely. In this episode, Chris and Todd tackle a ReInvention challenge most people don't see coming: Isolation - and how being isolated quietly drains your energy, creativity, and momentum when you're launching something new. In this episode you'll get practical, real-world strategies to stay connected while working independently that include a few JEDI techniques to spurn amazing creativity: Integrating 2–3 non-work anchors (sports, classes, hobbies) into your weekly rhythm Using walks and neighborhood connection as a daily reset Changing where you work (cafes, coworking, "micro-commutes") Creating intentional "CEO-level" work trips (conferences, meetups, learning rooms) to replace the structure corporate used to provide. We also talk about how to use technology as a tool for real rapport, not transactional Zoom fatigue - and why being proactive about connection isn't a luxury but part of your ReInvention plan. If you're reinventing your career, starting a business, consulting, or building a portfolio career, this episode will help you stay human, stay motivated, and build community on purpose.
