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. It's like peanut butter and chocolate: the best combo.

Here are a few things we cover:

• Embracing Identity Shifts: How evolving your identity is a natural part of growth.
• Betting on Yourself: The importance of investing in your dreams. PLUS practical steps to make your dreams a reality.
• Strategy for Change: Actionable strategies for turning life's unexpected moments into opportunities.
• The Power of Resilience: How to build resilience and find strength in the face of challenges.
• Community as a Catalyst: The value of sharing your journey and connecting with others for inspiration and support.

We also are trialing a new format. I'd love to hear how it feels to you!

Plus: listen to the end, and you'll hear us talk about how we'd like you're involvement in the next phase of the Meaning Movement.

Are you ready to turn those curveballs into home runs? Let's go!

In this build-in-public style episode, Dan and Raj explore the upcoming changes to the show, Dan's struggles to embrace his limits, and what might be next for the Meaning Movement.

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 really fun conversation. You're in for a treat here today.

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 advisor as part of a family firm. There are so many layers of complexity — understanding what he wants in the business, what his family wants, and navigating the overlap between between those two.

We just had a great conversation. We talk about goals, we talk about money, we talk about making a meaningful life.

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.
