    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. We talk about what most people get wrong when making a career change, why "hope" isn't a strategy, and how to create the financial runway that actually gives you freedom to move. 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. Because ReInvention isn't just about vision and courage, it's about giving yourself the space to make good decisions.

    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. If you've been thinking about making a change but haven't started yet, this is your push.

    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.

    REWIND - The Jobs AI Won't Take: How To Future-Proof Your Career

    Season 2 is on its way and while we gear up for it, we're revisiting this critical episode on navigating AI and the future of work because getting ahead of what's coming is everything right now. What careers actually have a future in an AI-driven world? In this episode Todd and Chris get real about the future of work, what AI is actually going to disrupt, and how to build a career that's hard to replace because it is rooted in your uniquely human skills. They discuss the emerging statistics (like 39% of core job skills changing by 2030), why endlessly scrolling LinkedIn for the same old roles has diminishing returns, and why the smartest move right now is to think of yourself as the CEO of your own life and career. You'll hear real client stories: a laid-off designer who turned his expertise plus AI into a new business, a burned-out exec who became a highly paid workshop leader for his former company, and mid-career professionals who are quietly building second careers in coaching, community, and creator work. If you've ever thought, "Who am I to do that? There are already so many people doing it…" this conversation is your invitation to think bigger, experiment more, and start building a future-proof career that actually fits the life you want. You'll learn: Why AI is absolutely going to replace certain tasks and roles… and which parts of your job are most at risk The durable "human skills" that are only becoming more valuable How to honestly audit your current role for what's automatable vs. what's uniquely you Why experimentation beats perfection, and how to treat your next moves like low-risk "life experiments" instead of irreversible bets How to handle the fear of judgment ("who am I to do this?") and start sharing your work or ideas without waiting to be "ready" **Subscribe to our ReInvention Podcast and stay on the cutting-edge with fresh ideas and practical tools to navigate the future of your work!
