    E38 - How to Work with Anyone: The Real Skill Behind Career ReInvention

    Everyone's talking about strategy, AI, and tactics. But most people are missing the thing that actually drives Career ReInvention: Relationships. In this episode, Todd and Chris turn the lens on themselves - and break down what it really looks like to build something with another person when you have different styles, rhythms, and expectations. Because collaboration sounds great…until it gets messy. We talk openly about our own partnership - where it's worked, where it's been hard, and what we've had to learn in real time to keep moving forward. You'll hear: The difference between transactional vs. relational thinking (and why it matters) How to actually collaborate when people work differently than you The power of slowing down, listening, and having the hard conversations How real human connection creates opportunities you can't plan for This isn't about "networking." It's about learning how to connect, communicate, and build with other humans - especially in a world that's pulling us further apart.

    E37 - The ReInvention Bro's Get Personal For Mother's Day + How To Balance Masculine & Feminine Energy

    This is a special Mother's Day show, and it comes along with one of the most important frameworks we'll talk about: Masculine vs. Feminine energy. Most of us have been conditioned into constant "go mode." Push. Achieve. Figure it out. But successful ReInvention doesn't come from more force. It comes from learning how to balance action with awareness. We talk about: What masculine vs. feminine energy actually means (and why everyone has both) Why so many high performers are burned out and misaligned The power of "allow and reflect" as a real strategy, not just a nice idea How creating space leads to better, more aligned decisions This one also gets personal - family, loss, parenting, and how these dynamics shape who we become.

    E36 - When Reinventing Get Your Finances Right FIRST (here's how) | David Mandell JD, MBA

    Before you reinvent your career, there's one thing most people avoid: Looking at their finances honestly. In this episode, we sit down with David Mandell JD, MBA - a financial and legal expert who's spent 30+ years advising professionals - to break down the real foundation of career ReInvention. Because no matter how exciting your next move is…if the numbers don't work, the plan won't either.

You'll hear: Why most people don't know where their money is going (and why that matters) How to build a realistic financial runway before making a change Why career transitions take longer—and cost more—than you think The importance of getting your spouse or partner aligned early This is a more sober, practical conversation - but it's one of the most important ones.

    E35 - How Scott Clary Built 100M Podcast Followers: Success Lessons for ReInventors

    We sat down with Scott Clary, host of the Success Story podcast (100M+ downloads) to break down what it actually takes to reinvent your career. Scott didn't follow the traditional path. He questioned it. In this conversation, we go deep on why curiosity is the starting point for any reinvention - and how most people stay stuck simply because they never stop to ask: is this even what I want? We also get practical. If you're mid-career, successful on paper, but feeling out of alignment, Scott shares how to navigate that tension without making reckless decisions. You'll hear: Why the old career playbook no longer works The "die every night" exercise to get clear on what you actually want Why confidence (and control) matters more than talent How to take action without quitting your job overnight The truth about entrepreneurship: hard, but not complicated This is a grounded, no-BS conversation about what it really looks like to take ownership of your career, and build something that actually fits your life.

    E34 - Navigating Career Uncertainty: What 4,000 Leaders Told Us About the Future of Work

    Season 2 is here, and we're starting with a simple truth: No one knows what's coming next with the AI Economy. Todd just got back from a 4,000-person leadership conference where top executives, HR leaders, and operators were all saying the same thing: we're figuring it out in real time. That's the backdrop for this episode, and it's a 'must listen' for anyone navigating career transitions. Chris and Todd break down why uncertainty isn't something to avoid, it's something to work with. We talk about what's actually happening inside companies right now, why the idea of "certainty" was always a bit of a myth, and how to start making decisions even when you don't have all the answers. You'll hear: Why uncertainty can unlock opportunity (not just fear) How to stop spinning and start thinking clearly again The shift from transactional networking → real relationships Why slowing down might be your biggest advantage right now This is the skill: learning how to move forward without knowing exactly how it's all going to play out.

    REWIND - The Provider Trap: Reinvent Your Career Without Letting Your Family Down

    Season 2 is on its way and while we get ready, we're revisiting this deeply personal episode on the provider trap because feeling stuck as the breadwinner is one of the most common and most solvable challenges in career reinvention. If you're the primary breadwinner or you carry the "provider" identity, Career ReInvention can feel impossible. The fear is real: If I change jobs, the whole system collapses. Mortgage. Bills. Kids. Expectations. Your nervous system starts treating reinvention like a threat. In this episode, Chris and Todd unpack the Provider Trap - the hidden identity that keeps high-achievers locked into misaligned work long after it stops working. They talk about why "providing" is more than a paycheck (presence, energy, relationships, legacy), how fear and scarcity get passed down through generations, and why staying in the wrong career can quietly cost you the very family life you're trying to protect. They also get a bit personal with their own stories. Chris reflects on losing his dad when he was 25 and the conversations they had towards the end. Todd shares some personal challenges he and his wife are currently dealing with when it comes to the question: 'What is a breadwinner - and what are we really providing'. At the end you'll understand why courage is the most important muscle that makes ReInvention possible - even when you feel like you have no room to fail. If you've ever thought, "I can't change - everyone depends on me," this episode is for you.
