How To Become One Of The Most Influential Marketers In The World with Andrew Davis | UYGW062
This week I’m sharing the 40th interview on the Unleashing Your Great Work Podcast! One of my favorite parts of doing these interviews is how much I’ve learned about Great Work by hearing how other people are living theirs.
Because Andrew and I share a love for the Muppets and a quirky, childlike sense of humor, his characterization of his Great Work really struck a chord with me! Andrew Davis is on a QUEST; he’s battling demons in the swamp, running away from a massive ball next to Indiana Jones, riding the Monsters Inc conveyor belt, and discovering new truths.
Join us as we discuss:
· How living your life like a quest keeps you from comparing and despairing
· Why being stubborn is a superpower well worth cultivating
· What to do when you get your dream job, and it’s disappointing
· Why Jim Henson is a hard act to follow, but a great creative inspiration

Yours For A Song With Composer Charlie Gilbert | UYGW061
Charlie Gilbert is a writer, composer, educator, and theater maker specializing in musical theater. Given my lifelong fascination with musical theater, this made him an obvious choice as a guest for this podcast! And while this episode is chock full of little musical theater tidbits, it’s also a beautiful look at what a lifelong dedication to Great Work looks like. Charlie started doing musical theater as a young man, in college, with his friends.
1979 he wrote Assassins, a musical whose idea was compelling enough to attract the attention of Stephen Sondheim; the musical that Sondheim eventually wrote based on Charlie's idea went on to win the Tony.
After teaching and freelancing as a musical theater professional for a number of years, he had the opportunity to start an undergraduate musical program at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. His experiences as an educator and artist led to the development of a signature pedagogy for musical theater performers that he calls the SAVI System. And, for the last ten years, he’s been a composer in residence at the Enchantment Theater company. Listening to Charlie talk about the fire he still has in his belly for even more success in musical theater was inspiring, to say the least.
Join us as we discuss:
· How to sustain your interest and passion for something highly competitive and full of disappointments
· What it was like to be peers with Stephen Sondheim, Jonathan Larson, and other broadway legends
· How to juggle multiple interests and areas of expertise in a field usually populated with narrowly focused artists

About The Guest:
Charlie is a writer, composer, educator and theater maker who specializes in musical theater. He has been creating original work for the musical stage for nearly fifty years, and is perhaps best known for Assassins, his 1979 musical which was the source of the idea for the Tony Award-winning musical of the same name by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman.
His other works for the musical stage include Gemini the Musical, an adaptation of Albert Innaurato’s hit comedy Gemini for which Charlie wrote music and lyrics. For the past ten years, Charlie has been composer-in-residence for Enchantment Theatre Company and has created original music and lyrics for works that have toured the US, including Harold and the Purple Crayon, which will be seen in theaters this spring.
He started the undergraduate musical theater program at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia in 1991 and served as a faculty member and administrator there for over thirty years. His experiences as an educator and artist led to the development of a signature pedagogy for musical theater performers he calls the SAVI System; his book The SAVI Singing Actor was published in 2019, along with an innovative teaching tool called SAVI Cards, and...

How to Remix Your Leadership Style to do Great Work with Paula White | UYWG060
Have you ever heard an idea that you thought you understood, but the more you heard, the more profound it became? Paula White’s idea about “Side B” leadership is one such idea! When you first hear it, it sounds like a standard truism that it “takes all kinds” or is essential to “leverage your strengths,” which are two powerful ideas, but they are hardly new. But as she unpacks the idea further—helping us to see that every typical leadership skill has an untapped genius at its side that will unlock your leadership capacity further than you thought possible and that these leadership skills are like the members of a band who work better together than apart-- I realized her ideas go way beyond a simple analogy.
Join us as we discuss:
- How the metaphor of “getting the band together” translates into successful corporate teams
- Why corporate teams need a diversity of “musicians” to work effectively
- How to leverage our “hidden hits” and find our most effective leadership style

How A Career Reboot Can Make You Feel More Alive with Voiceover Artist, Amy Bermudez | UYGW059
In December 2019, Amy Bermudez was feeling unsatisfied with her job. She worked in an industry she didn’t love, for people who stressed her out, doing work that was… fine. She wanted more, but she wasn’t sure what that “more” was. In a chance encounter with a relative, Amy learned about voiceover.
She signed up for a course, enjoyed what she learned and began to wonder: is voiceover right for me? Then, in March 2020, the world shut down for the COVID-19 pandemic, and in response, Amy’s company shut its doors completely.
Newly unemployed in a world that had changed overnight, Amy’s mind wandered to voiceover.
Could this be her chance to try something new? Amy decided to give it a real shot. Over the course of the past few years, Amy has launched her fledgling voiceover business from scratch, and it has changed her life. As Amy said, “allowing myself to do the thing I wanted to do has been amazing. I feel more alive.”
Join us as we discuss:
· How the chaos of the pandemic created an opportunity for reinvention
· How believing in herself has resolved a lifelong worry that she wasn’t “good enough” to do what she loved
· How voiceover artistry has given Amy the creative outlet she has yearned for
· How interesting and rewarding she finds her new work, and how excited she is for the future.

Amy meets you where you are, effectively collaborating with you to create a final product that sounds exactly the way you envision. The artistic expression at the heart of creating professional voiceover brings Amy Bermudez such joy.
A professionally-trained voice actor who brings a wealth of talent, expansive range, and a soothing, trustworthy voice, Amy is also a campy, zany performer who loves to sing karaoke until the wee hours, lulls her children to sleep with sentimental lullabies, and can often be found regaling tales with a whole cast of character voices.

What To Do When You Worry Your Great Work Is Behind You with Julie Ellis | UYGW057
Julie Ellis, a co-founder of Mabel's labels and the author of Big Gorgeous Goals, has a unique perspective on success. When she and her co-founders sold Mabel’s Labels to Avery, she felt both proud of the accomplishment and sad about losing what they had enjoyed building. This is a very common but rarely discussed part of Great Work.
So much of what we talk about focuses on getting started and overcoming hurdles, staying at it, and building toward success.
But what happens when we get it?
What happens when we do the impossible, summit the mountain, and achieve the dream?
What do we do with the reality that even though we are grateful for the success we’ve achieved, we are also confronted with the loss?
This is Julie’s story. Julie’s process of recovering her excitement for the work that was ahead of her helped her to develop her philosophy on Big Gorgeous Goals, which in turn became her book.
Join us as we discuss:
· How to set big, gorgeous goals to pursue in your one wild and precious life
· How to believe in a goal that you feel like you have no business wanting or pursuing
· How to discover joy and excitement for the work that is ahead of you
· How to assemble systems, structures, and people to support your big, gorgeous goals

Honor Your Heart Value to Do Your Great Work with Mary Tess Rooney | UYGW055
This interview with Mary Tess Rooney is the reminder that we all need that our joy and happiness matter at least as much as what other people expect of us. Mary Tess is the author of Heart Value, a book that helps us ensure we are making career and life decisions from the intersection of the value we offer the world that also lights us up.
What Mary Tess describes as Heart Value is very close to what I call Great Work, which is why it was such an easy decision to invite her to the podcast. And I’m very glad I did! Mary Tess is no pie-in-the-sky Pollyanna. She urges us to acknowledge that it can be challenging to speak up and share our heart value with the world, and she encourages us to be strategic and honest about what’s possible right now and what might need some time to unfold. In both cases, she emphasizes that we are not rushing towards something better, but instead, we are building a habit of honoring our heart value.
Join us as we discuss:
· Why the people we work with need to see us in ways that matter to us instead of ways that matter to them.
· How to let our heart value guide our practical actions and tactical choices, and how that is the surest way to create a life we love.
· Why we need to impact our careers by sharing what lights us up and asking for the opportunity to do more of that
· How to cherish your EPIC adventure, even when things do not go as planned

Leading Inclusion with Gena Cox | UYGW054
In the United States, we have always lived with the history and realities of racism.
Whether we have lived with it as an active part of our life or have had the privilege to ignore it and deny it, it has shaped our understanding of our country and each other.
Since racism has always been a loaded, hot-button, triggering topic to discuss, many leaders have flatly avoided talking about it. Since the summer of 2020, however, organizations are realizing that this issue is not going away.
Workers want organizations that are inclusive and equitable. As such, the avoidance strategy that has allowed leaders to manage this issue in the past is emerging as the biggest problem of all.
Fortunately for all of us, Gena Cox has taken the time to think deeply about how to open the door to these important conversations.
Listen in for compassionate, insightful, and practical advice to help all of us navigate conversations about creating inclusion in the workplace.
Join us as we discuss:
* How the root cause of the failure of most DEI initiatives is avoidance driven by a lack of skills on the part of even the most well-meaning leaders
* How respect is the opposite of grandstanding and is the foundation of our only viable path forward to create inclusive workplaces
* How to have respectful relationships with your employees even when difficult conversations and decisions are needed

In these moments, we need only summon the healing power and wisdom of Tess Alburn, a business and life coach who describes her Great Work as “midwifing” where she helps talented woman entrepreneurs get into their greatest ripple effect.

The Great Work Elixir of Laughter and Forgiveness with Lynn Himmelman | UYGW045
Laughter brings joy not only to ourselves but to others around us. It’s infectious!
And who better to counsel us on the importance of laughter than the three-time winner of Toronto’s Most Infectious Laughter Competition, Lynn Himmelman?
Lynn has been accelerating the healing and awakening of individuals through the powerful synergy of forgiveness and laughter for decades. A former opera singer, Lynn's health issues propelled her into her current Great Work: New Decision Therapy.
Inspired by the work of the late Dr. Candace Blakely, Lynn was able to discover the wisdom of her own body and change her mindset to allow her body to heal.
And it worked! Lynn leads us in a poignant discussion on how to ignite our expanded soul expression, and then reignite the most powerful and important connection we human beings can have: the connection with ourselves.

On this holiday episode of Unleashing YOUR Great Work, we are charged with the task of defeating “shiny object syndrome” with the help and leadership of Consuela Muñoz. Certified strength coach, speaker, author, and founder of The CEO Way, Consuela believes that everyone should be more excited about the work they are doing, and that celebrating and engaging your strengths is how you own your confidence. Consuela reminds us that if we are finding ourselves “sick-to-our-stomach” in the work we are trying to accomplish, it’s alright say to ourselves “I have to do something else.” When we dive deeper into things, we realize and understand that we may be in the right place, we are just disengaged. And, more importantly, we have lost sight of our strengths. Some say “Life is short”, but Consuela’s perspective is that “Life is LONG.” Remember, if there’s something that others don’t understand about you, whether it be something that makes you feel weird or feel dif…

Avital shares her ability to bring older generations into the world of “Computer Land” and help people understand that the language of technology is just that…another language. Avital believes that if we can translate our tech, age, generational, and skill-based languages together, we can then remove any feelings of inadequacy and rebuild or personal, AND technological, resilience.

How to Have A Self-Care Mind-Set with Jeanette Bronee | UYGW041
As human beings, are constantly focused on the doing, doing, doing, and Jeanette advises us that if we could just take a “power-pause” and listen more, we can gain a better understanding of what we need to accomplish our Great Work.
Jeanette believes if we can listen more to ourselves, we can begin to understand what we need right now and truly begin to feel to engage in what Jeanette calls “mental listening”. We, as humans, are amazing, we are here to solve problems, and the things we worry about are the things we care about the most.
If we can pause for a moment, and shift the “care for” to “care about”, we can understand that solving problems is not just about needing time off or time to get away, it’s about learning to “un-worry”. It is only then that we discover "self-care isn’t really about self…it’s about care."

New Professionalism with Lauren Howard | UYGW040

As the founder of two businesses (yes, TWO), Lauren has cultivated her Great Work to help amplify the voices of others, advocating for digital healthcare and encouraging courage and strength in the workplace.
Cultivating her following on LinkedIn, Lauren began to share the stories of her own difficulties in the workplace. She was surprised how this prompted others to share their stories. Out of this came new communities and opportunities.
Listen in as Lauren reminds all of us, especially us women, that we don’t need a skirt, suit, or high heels to make an impact…a pair of “soft pants” will do just fine.

On this week’s episode of Unleashing YOUR Great Work, we dive into the worlds of Mat Heagerty, a rad graphic novelist creating Great Work one Lumberjack Vampire at a time (A Lumberjackula, if you will). Growing up dyslexic and, what he considered himself back in the days, a “bad” student, Mat shares his mission in making funny, light-hearted stories about acceptance. From his middle school punk rock days to his serious writing journey beginning at age 22, Mat has always been in touch with a creative identity. And what comes along with pursuing a creative life, you may be asking? A whole lot of hearing the word “NO”. However, the word “NO” is what Mat describes as a “rebound word” that continues to propel him into new creativity.

The Problems of Perfectionism | UYGW038
Do you remember a time when a project took you so long to complete because everything needed to be “just right”? Maybe you’re a music composer, and you can’t quite finish that new song because something in the lyrics just refuses to make sense. Or, maybe you’re like me, and you were writing a book that created internal turmoil because that book could only house thirteen brilliant ideas individually picked from a lifetime of knowledge. The explanation? Perfectionism. The problem with perfectionism? It’s impossible. It’s waiting for every single piece of the puzzle to be spotless. When we find ourselves confronting spouts of perfectionism, it makes accomplishing our Great Work ten times harder and ten times longer to achieve. If we can find a way to let go of being the best and pleasing every single person on the face of this earth, we can achieve something greater than perfection: Commitment to Excellence.

Great Work From The Inside Out with Tammy Gooler Loeb | UYGW037
Let’s get serious for a second. Imagine yourself on your deathbed. Are you going to be glad you spent all that time at a job that didn’t fulfill you? It’s time to call upon the wisdom of Tammy Gooler Loeb, a career and executive coach who inspires people to design their career using self knowledge and experience from the “inside out”. From working in community to health, to a Boston mayor’s office, to fundraising, Tammy is no stranger to working many jobs leading to the “golden egg” that is coaching. Most of us begin our relationship with work when we are teenagers, and we continue that relationship well into our 60’s, maybe even longer. Most of the time, our jobs are for filling up our wallets or (since the Depression Era) feeding our families. But what if our work AND our life could be mutually satisfying? Tammy helps us understand that we live in a time where our work should have some elements of satisfaction and meaning to it. With a little push in the right direc…

Ever feel a little “poodley”? Or what about “moodily”? Maybe “gloomily”? Or even “wootily”?

What if you could change your thoughts and operate in a completely different world?
Using the “Cognitive Behavioral Model” as a starting point, Dr. Crowell explains how our thoughts create our feelings, and so, if we change our thoughts, we can change our feelings and, therefore, our lives. Building on this, she then explains how she's grown her understanding of this to a more nuanced mix of feelings she has named gloomily, moodily, poodley, and wootily.

Taking Money from Taboo to Talkable with Michelle Arpin Begina | UYGW033
On this week’s episode of Unleashing YOUR Great Work, advisor, author, and public speaker Michelle Arpin Begina guides us through one of THE MOST taboo topics most people fear the most: money.
Why is it so difficult to talk about money?
As the daughter of two entrepreneurs, Michelle is no stranger to overcoming many trials and tribulations with the thoughts and struggles of money. She takes us on a powerful journey through her own personal relationship with money and how it’s shaped her into finding her own Great Work.
Michelle brings an insightful awareness to the fact that money isn’t just about how much you make, how much you save, or even how much you spend. It’s about the root of where the idea of money lives and where it comes from. If we are told money isn’t important, do we spend more? What happens when we make more money? How do we gather the courage to ask for more money without feeling guilty? Michelle answers all of these questions, and so much more! Listen in…

From sneaking off to his childhood basement to read creepy books, since childhood books he claims “weren’t scary enough”, to having a digital billboard in Times Square, White takes us on his epic journey of the Great Work that he has slowly discovered within his writing career.

The Courage To Do Great Work | UYGW031
This podcast episode is a reflection on myself and MY OWN Great Work. The idea of “Great Work” is the work that matters most to you. For myself, I wrote a book (a lifelong dream of mine), received a PhD, have a podcast, did consulting in schools, and so much more work that was so important to me. It may seem obvious to do great work when you feel it is YOUR great work, when it comes from YOUR unique point of view, when it keeps YOU out of your comfort zone, and causes you to meet good people doing great things. You begin to leave a legacy behind you. Your unique idea of great work becomes an “of course”, OF COURSE you are going to do the work. However, one thing that can happen unintentionally is to gloss over the fact, when you talk about doing great work, that it is really hard and terrifying. In reality, doing great work is a joy, but it also a struggle. It’s a struggle against ourselves, our expectations, procrastination, perfectionism, burning ourselves out, and even bei…

How To Create A Powerful Gratitude Practice That Supports Your Great Work | UYGW18
Gratitude is a powerful practice that impacts your life, and the lives of those for whom you are grateful. And, did you know that there are THREE kinds of gratitude? It's true!
• There is gratitude for what's to come, called anticipation.
• Gratitude for what's happening right now, called savoring.
• And gratitude for what has happened already, called reminiscing.
On this week’s episode we dig into all three kinds of gratitude, and how best to benefit from a gratitude practice.
Join me as I discuss:
• Why the key to all three forms of gratitude is to go deep into them
• How gratitude re-wires your brain to deliver major health and wellness benefits
• Why Gratitude shouldn’t be a vague, muted practice. It works best when it's detailed, robust, and vibrant!
Gratitude is a powerful way to bring more joy into your life without having to wait for anyone else to come around, and before anything changes out there.

Great Work is About When to Say Yes with Dr. Don Khouri | UYGW17
How are you?
If your first, knee jerk response was “Busy!” or “Crazy busy” or “Scary busy” then this interview is for you. My guest this week, Dr. Don Khouri, invites us to protect our “Yes.” Whether others are asking for a favor, offering an opportunity, or handing down a task, our bias is usually to say “yes!” Don suggests that before we give away a single “yes,” we need to ask ourselves some critical questions.
Join us as we discuss
* The five questions that we should ask before we say “yes”
* Why a default mode of “no” will actually make us more valuable collaborators and employees
* The transformation and ease that comes from being purposefully productive instead of busy
About the Guest:
Don Khouri coaches executives and business leaders who want to be more productive and profitable. He does this helping busy executives streamline their activities and better chose activities on which to focus their time and attention. He is the author of…

How to Do What You Love with Dyan DeNapoli, The Penguin Lady | UYGW16
Dyan DeNapoli wanted to be a marine biologist since she was a child. Working with dolphins and penguins called to her, from the inside. At the age of 30, as she was working as a silversmith making jewelry, her parents gifted her a month long EarthWatch Expedition working with Dolphins in Hawaii.
As she stood at the airport in Hawaii, waiting for her flight home, Dyan made an important decision: She didn’t know how and she didn’t know when but she WAS going to dedicate herself to working with marine animals. And boy has she! From getting a second bachelors degree, to finally getting hired at the New England Aquarium (after years of volunteering), to running the world largest animal rescue mission in history, Dyan’s commitment to animal conservation has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Join us as we discuss:
* How she found the courage to follow her dreams, despite a total lack of guarantees
* What to do when you fail miserably at the job you’ve always wanted to do

Six Lessons From Twelve Episodes of Unleashing Your Great Work | UYGW12
This week, I'm creating the 12th episode of "Unleashing Your Great Work". A dozen episodes are out there in the world, entertaining DOZENS of people.
Over the past 12 episodes, I've learned some things about great work. When I put the podcast together, I already had a lot of ideas about what great work is, how it works, what it looks like and how it feels. But I've been excited by how much I've learned from the guests.
For example:
◊ Even for the greatest among us, claiming your work as “Great Work” is HARD (Mike Ganino, episode 11)
◊ Great work is more like a best friend than a soulmate (Linda Ugelow, Episode 7)
◊ We all need reminders to STOP WORKING, because Great Work seems to go hand-in-hand with overworking (Alyssa Adams, Episode 3)
◊ Great Work needs to be enjoyable… otherwise, what’s the point? (Trish Blain, episode 5)
◊ Having a podcast is FUN! (All the episodes!)
Ready to hear the six lessons I've learned over the past 12 episodes?

Hustle Versus Resilience: Which One Is Responsible for YOUR Great Work?
Nothing I say gets more push back than what we are talking about on this episode. And yet, I believe it with all my heart. Great Work- the work that matters the most to us, the work that shares our unique point of view, in community with amazing people, that keeps you on your evolving edge and creates our legacy… that kind of work is not the result of hustle.
It is, instead, the result of resilience.

* Why we feel like we need to squeeze every drop out of every minute and every day
* How taking better care of yourself accelerates your Great Work
* Why hustle is an empty promise and a dangerous oversimplification

Great Work is Done In Community
In this week's episode we are diving into the two kinds of people in the world: lone wolves and pack wolves. Pack wolves who are great at creating things in community, and lone wolves who are great at generating outcomes from their own internal motivations and drive. As a natural born lone wolf myself, I am making the case that we really need both sets of skills if we are going to do Great Work.
Join me as we discuss:
* Why it feels easier (to me) to be a lone wolf
* How developing the skills of the pack wolf can elevate and improve the lone wolf's Great Work
* The pitfalls of being a disciple and the joys of being an apprentice

TRAILER: Unleashing Your Great Work
Unleashing Your Great Work is a podcast about doing the work that matters the most to you.
Work that grows you and keeps you on your evolving edge.
Work that shows the world who you really are.
Work that compels you to collaborate, and allows other people to truly know you.
It might be building a business, inciting a movement, creating breathtaking art, writing world-changing books, or helping other people to heal and grow into their potential.
Whatever your Great Work, in this podcast we're figuring out how to unleash it into the world by asking the BIG questions:
* What does it take to create something of your own? To write books, build a business, impact the issues of our day, and help change the world?
* How can we overcome procrastination, withstand failure, survive rejection and finally, finally unleash our great work out into the world?
* How can we- you and me- do work that reflects our unique point of view, impacts the people around us for the better, and…
