    Ep 59 - Tribe Leader: A Tribute To My Mentor - Doug Clifton Curling

    In this episode of Career Coaching Xs and Os, I pay tribute to my late mentor, Doug Clifton Curling, who passed away on July 25, 2026.

    I first met Doug when he served as President, COO, and Board Director at ChoicePoint, Inc. He was an exceptional executive and an even finer human being. Doug possessed a rare blend of leadership qualities that drew people together, building a true community of leaders who relied on him as a trusted guide for both business and life.

    In an era where social media is filled with self-aggrandizing executives who prioritize their personal brand over their people, Doug was the complete antithesis. People truly mattered to him, and he treated those who worked alongside him like family.

    If you want to understand what authentic, impactful leadership really looks like—and how to become an executive people actually want to follow—this episode is for you.

  • Ep 58 - How Non-Technical Employees Can Build the Right AI Skills

    Ep 58 - How Non-Technical Employees Can Build the Right AI Skills
    28 Jan 2026
    Ep 58 - How Non-Technical Employees Can Build the Right AI SkillsIn this episode of Career Coaching Xs and Os, Mark breaks down one of the most urgent questions facing today’s workforce: How can non‑technical employees stay competitive in an AI‑driven world? Drawing from his work at the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurship and his hands‑on experience coaching emerging leaders, Mark outlines a clear, accessible roadmap for developing practical AI fluency — no coding required.He explains why AI literacy is becoming the new baseline skill, how effective prompting can dramatically improve productivity, and why understanding where AI fits into everyday workflows is more important than understanding how the technology is built. Mark also highlights the human skills that become even more valuable in an AI‑enabled workplace — judgment, communication, creativity, and ethical reasoning.This episode gives listeners a grounded, confidence‑building framework for embracing AI as a collaborator rather than a threat. Whether you’re an early‑career professional, a mid‑career manager, or someone re‑entering the workforce, Mark offers the Xs and Os you need to stay relevant, adaptable, and future‑ready.****************************************Want To Co-host An Episode of Career Coaching Xs and Os?

  • Ep 57 - Potluck Politics- Why Showing Up Matters Even If You Hate RTO

    Ep 57 - Potluck Politics- Why Showing Up Matters Even If You Hate RTO
    23 Nov 2025
    Ep 57 - Potluck Politics- Why Showing Up Matters Even If You Hate RTOWelcome back to the Career Coaching Xs and Os podcast—the show where we uncover the strategies, challenges, and breakthroughs that shape meaningful career success. In this episode, we dive into the frustration surrounding the Return-To-Office policy and whether employees should participate in holiday potluck events. Let’s be real—most of us don’t wake up excited about the office potluck. Especially if you’re already frustrated with the whole return‑to‑office push. But here’s the truth: skipping that Thanksgiving potluck could cost you more than you think. Career growth isn’t just about the work you do at your desk—it’s about the relationships you build when no one’s talking about deadlines or deliverables. That potluck? It’s a low‑stakes arena where visibility, goodwill, and connection are on the table—literally. So before you roll your eyes and stay home, let’s talk about why showing up, even for a plate of turkey and stuffing, might be the smartest career move you make this season.******************Want To Co-host An Episode of Career Coaching Xs and Os?
