‘Range of Change’ is the podcast that explores the pivotal moments of change in our lives. I am facilitating this conversation as an ICF certified coach and change management expert who has spent the last 20 years helping individuals and organizations succeed through significant shifts. I have seen the range of change – and what helps drive success - whether you are choosing to embark on a bold new chapter, or life has chosen it for you. The goal of the podcast is both to illuminate the universality of continuous change, talking about the key moments (whether fairly unique or ones that so many of us face at some point), as well as to provide a thread from our conversations to the practical ways we can all grow more resilient and empowered in the face of change.

  1. Come out and play

    Come out and play

    In 1959, the teenagers were outside. In 1979, they were outside... just with different music and considerably less supervision. In 1999, when not at the mall, they were still outside. Starting somewhere between 2010 and 2015, the social lives of entire generations moved inside. They moved into phones, bedrooms and screens. And the data that followed on anxiety, loneliness, depression, and social disconnection is unlike anything researchers had seen before. This episode is about what happened, why it happened faster than anyone understood in the moment, and what it has to do with the way any of us navigate change in a world moving faster than our ability to see what we're trading away.

  2. 69 Feet, or, the most consequential moment of change lost to history.

    69 Feet, or, the most consequential moment of change lost to history.

    If I asked you to name the single most consequential change in the history of modern life, you might say the industrial revolution. The printing press. The internet. You'd be wrong.... Or rather, you'd be downstream. The thing that actually changed everything happened on a Saturday afternoon in 1859, at the bottom of a 69-foot hole in northwestern Pennsylvania. The man who made it happen was a retired railroad conductor with no geology training, no engineering credentials, and no particular reason to believe that anything he was doing would work. You almost certainly don't know his name. This is the story of Edwin Drake — the most consequential change agent in modern history, and the man almost nobody has heard of. And it's about what his story has to do with the thing you're waiting to try. Part 1 of 2. Range of Change is a show about what change actually requires, told through stories most people think they already understand.

  3. Nothing Available to Be Dislodged

    Nothing Available to Be Dislodged

    Almost nothing about Dolly Parton actually changed over six decades. And yet the world's relationship to her transformed completely. This episode asks why — because the answer has almost nothing to do with Dolly, and almost everything to do with what she was standing on. This is an episode about values clarity: not as a motivational concept, but as structural integrity. The kind that means external pressure — the skepticism, the jokes, the people invested in you staying exactly as you are — doesn't find anything loose to grab onto. Range of Change is a show about what change actually requires, told through stories most people think they already understand.

  4. What He Saw That No One Else Could

    What He Saw That No One Else Could

    In 1960, a man in rural Bihar, India picked up a hammer and a chisel and began striking a mountain. His wife had died because there was no road to a doctor. He had no money, no machinery, no government support. Twenty-two years later, he broke through the other side. Dashrath Manjhi's story is one of the most extraordinary examples of transformational change I've ever encountered — not because of what he achieved, but because of what made it possible. This episode is about target state: what it means to hold a vision so specific and so real that it stops being a wish and starts being a direction. Range of Change is a show about what change actually requires, told through stories most people think they already understand.

    Life Design & Rethinking Retirement: Not the End, But the Beginning with Jason and Daravy

    Over the last decade, the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement has reshaped the conversation. And it’s not just about money — though money is the mechanism. At its best, FIRE is about reclaiming time, autonomy, and alignment. It’s about front loading effort and intention so that, sooner than expected, you can step into a life that feels deeply your own. ​I recently had the chance to speak with Jason and Daravy, a couple who retired in their 30s. They didn’t do it through flashy investments or lucky breaks — they did it by making thoughtful trade-offs, living below their means, and steadily building a life that matched their values.
