Show note: If you've ever felt like life has thrown you a curveball, this one's for you. I sat down with my good friend Raj to talk about the challenge and magic of transitions, embracing change, and betting on yourself. I love this conversation. It's deep. And I laughed a lot.

Becoming a Writer with Patrick McNerthney
The Meaning Movement: Rediscover your Passion, Avoid Burnout, and Do Work You Love.
My friend Patrick has had a nonlinear career path. I wanted to have him on the how and hear a little bit more about the pivot he took in his career to get to where he is today. Today he's a copywriter and a writer. In this conversation, we get to dig into all the twists and turns that his career has taken him, as well as geek out a little bit on creative work. We talk about the discipline of getting in the chair and putting the time in to make creative work and how you have to be in the right place in order for the inspiration to strike, not the other way around. And so much more. It's just a...

Money Stories, Setting Better Goals, and Navigating Family Business with Joe Stephan
The Meaning Movement: Rediscover your Passion, Avoid Burnout, and Do Work You Love.
It's always about money OR is it that it's never about money? My guest today is Joe Stephan. He is a financial advisor with a podcast by the name, it's Never about Money, which I love. As a financial advisor I love that he leads with this question. He acknowledges that the work that he does is not just about money, but about helping his client understand what is meaningful and how to go about living a meaningful life. I had the chance to connect with Joe on his podcast. It was such a fun experience and wanted to continue the conversation and have him over here on the show. He is a financial...

Leadership Refined by Fire with John Cuomo
The Meaning Movement: Rediscover your Passion, Avoid Burnout, and Do Work You Love.
John Cuomo is a former firefighter and now author of the book Leadership Refined by Fire. It's a great book that illustrates leadership principles through the lens of a long tenure as a firefighter. I had a great time digging into some of these ideas, looking at how they apply to the lives of entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, self-funded entrepreneurs, and driven entrepreneurs — people like you and me. I think you're going to enjoy this one. Let's get to it. Show Notes: themeaningmovement.com/johncoumo

Choosing Your Risk Portfolio and Finding Your Definition of Success with Daniel Hatke
The Meaning Movement: Rediscover your Passion, Avoid Burnout, and Do Work You Love.
Daniel Hatke is an entrepreneur, deep thinker, and friend. I loved this conversation with him because I got to ask him all the questions that I don't usually have an excuse to ask him. He has a very unique perspective on entrepreneurship because he's seen it from multiple sides. He's lived multiple lives, I guess you could say, even though he's still relatively young. He has played the finance CTO Wall Street game as well as the mostly self funded entrepreneur game. We got to, with that in mind, dig deep into the choices that he's made to pursue entrepreneurship, how he finds meaning and...

Embracing Seasons, Balancing Work, and Helping the Planet with Paige NeJame
The Meaning Movement: Rediscover your Passion, Avoid Burnout, and Do Work You Love.
There are two areas of life where we experience fulfillment and meaning. One is in our work and careers. If you listen to the Meaning Movement, if you listen to the show, I know you have wrestled with some of those ideas. But then there's the rest of life outside of your work and your career. Most of us realize that it's a both/and situation: there's meaning and purpose to be found in our day-to-day work life and there's fulfillment to be found outside of that. In my conversation with Paige NeJame, we get to dig into these ideas directly. Paige is a volunteer with the Carbon...
