    #218 | Feeling Stuck? Small Decisions, Big Shifts with Chip Scholz
    Oct 17 2026
    Feeling Stuck? Small Decisions, Big Shifts with Chip Scholz What happens when the success you’ve been chasing no longer fits the life you want? On this episode of Talks with Gallagher, John Gallagher welcomes executive coach, storyteller, and author Chip Scholz for an honest conversation about navigating change, starting over, and finding purpose through the decisions we make every day. Drawing on his experiences with job loss, building a business, grief, and stroke recovery, Chip shares how he learned to stay flexible without losing his sense of direction. His message: failing at something doesn’t make you a failure—and meaningful change often starts smaller than you think. We explore his book, Small Decisions, Big Shifts: Navigating Life on Your Terms, and the Five C’s that guide his approach:
    • Context: Understand where you are.
    • Clarity: Know what you want.
    • Conditioning: Develop the mindset to move toward it.
    • Choice: Choose behaviors that support your direction.
    • Character: Follow through with personal accountability.
    Along the way, Chip explains what woodturning taught him about patience and leadership, why he coaches people from their strengths, and how his purpose statement—“I live to develop people”—has guided him for 25 years. Listen for a practical exercise near the end: If you woke up tomorrow and your situation were different, what’s one small thing you would notice? Whether you’re facing a career transition, rethinking success, or simply wondering what comes next, this conversation offers a grounded perspective on moving forward—one small decision at a time.

    • Separating failure from your identity.

    What happens when pursuing the truth changes not only how you see the world but also what you decide to build? Investigative journalist Kayla Dones, founder of Protagonist Network, joins John Gallagher on Talks with Gallagher for a conversation about independent journalism, personal conviction, and the experiences that shape who we become. Kayla shares her journey from local reporting to undercover assignments, working with whistleblowers, and building a media organization of her own. She reflects on the political and financial pressures she encountered, the demands of field reporting, and what it takes to stay grounded while pursuing difficult stories. The conversation also explores the founder’s challenge: turning a meaningful mission into a sustainable business. From assembling a network of journalists and production professionals to creating the infrastructure that supports their work, Kayla explains why passion alone isn’t enough.
