Job boards feel like shouting into the wind, and for many smart, seasoned professionals, that silence is maddening. We sat down with career transition coach and author Gina Riley to unpack why “qualified” rarely wins on its own—and how clarity, research, and real relationships move you to the top of the shortlist. Gina shares the thinking behind her book, Qualified Isn’t Enough, and the nine-step Career Velocity model that helps candidates articulate a unique value proposition and turn interviews into business conversations.

Across a fast-paced, practical conversation, we map the journey from rambling bios to crisp narratives that hiring teams can use. You’ll hear how to build your career thread from strengths, values, and motivated skills; why dormant ties are your most overlooked asset; and how to approach outreach with curiosity instead of desperation. We go beyond company webpages into investor letters, competitor analysis, and leadership interviews, then show you how to bring those insights into meetings as testable hypotheses. For new grads, mid-career changers, and executives alike, the message is consistent: unless you get seen, you won’t get heard.

We also dive into executive presence—how you look, speak, and act—and the modern mandate to read the room across virtual and in-person settings. Gina Riley introduces her RARE framework: Research, Alignment, Read the room, Evaluate the fit. You’ll learn smart questions to ask peers and leaders, ways to avoid the ATS black hole, and why volunteer leadership can quietly showcase your value at scale. If you’ve been applying widely with little traction, this is your reset: fewer applications, stronger relationships, and a narrative that makes you the obvious hire.

What if your marketing felt as genuine as your work—and actually performed better because of it? We sit down with Shauna Van Mourik to unpack how a neuroscience lens, a translator’s ear, and a values-first strategy can turn vague messaging into clear demand and sustainable growth. Shauna bridges the science and the “woo” with uncommon fluency, showing how affirmations rewire neural pathways, why specificity attracts more of the right clients, and how to define success on your terms so your business fits your life, not the other way around.

Shauna Van Mourik shares a powerful case study of a psychotherapist who eliminated misaligned corporate gigs, added $40K in eight months, niched into work she loves, and created passive income that supported new family life. We dig into the mechanics: a brand refresh rooted in identity over aesthetics, a visibility plan that prioritised community, and the operational systems that turned a surge of leads into calm delivery. You’ll also hear how a German client went from a trickle to a waitlist by targeting a dream client profile, then shoring up back-end structure to handle demand without burning out.

We map ’Shauna Van Mourik's two service lanes—done-for-you execution and a high-touch coaching path—plus her five-phase framework: brand refresh, marketing strategy, community building, conversion that flows without constant launches, and long-term sustainability planning. And we tackle the future: why AI is best treated as a thinking partner that sharpens ideas and returns time to human work like listening, judgment, and care. Expect practical insights on alignment, clarity, and momentum you can maintain.

If this conversation helps you see your brand and growth plan with fresh eyes, follow along, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review so more people can find the show.

The story starts with a young computer science student in Tehran and pivots into a life reshaped by courage. Shabnam Madadzedeh takes us inside Evin Prison—solitary confinement, interrogations, a sham trial—and then beyond the prison gates where a different fight begins. Denied the right to study, work or travel, she chose exile over silence, carrying her life in a backpack and the testimonies of fellow inmates in her memory.

We explore what dedication looks like when the stakes are measured in lives. Shabnam Madadzedeh explains why she refused a conventional path and instead committed 100% to human rights advocacy: documenting abuses, briefing parliamentarians in Luxembourg and Switzerland, and engaging UN human rights mechanisms to press for accountability. She names the crisis directly—mass executions, hunger strikes in Qezel Hesar, and pleas smuggled from inside prisons—and argues that Iran’s religious fascism cannot be reformed, only replaced through organised, principled resistance led by people willing to give everything.

This is not a story about victimhood. It is a portrait of agency forged in hard places, guided by role models in the National Council of Resistance of Iran and anchored in the belief that a life spent lifting others is a larger life. We talk about the psychology of survival, the ethics of total commitment, and the practical tools of advocacy: evidence, coalitions, and relentless attention. If you care about Iran human rights, political prisoners, Evin Prison, Qezel Hesar, and stopping executions, this conversation offers context, clarity and a way forward.

Feeling the slow grind of effort without progress is not a personal flaw—it’s a signal. We sit down with Lady Huyla Kurt—career master coach, author, lecturer, and Toastmaster—to map a clear route out of the hamster wheel and into work that aligns with your values, energy, and ambitions. Julia brings two decades of corporate leadership and hands‑on coaching to show how small, honest actions can open doors you thought were sealed.

We start with the inner work that most of us skip: three powerful prompts to surface moments of pride, fulfilment, and happiness. From there, Julia explains how to turn hidden wins into visible value using the STAR framework, making interviews, performance reviews, and salary conversations more grounded and confident. You’ll hear how one client escaped a toxic environment and landed a marketing leadership role in Zurich through focused networking, LinkedIn optimisation, and targeted preparation. Another, a highly introverted job‑seeker, found momentum with adapted methods—visual anchors, gentle outreach, and steady, realistic targets.

Beyond career transitions, we dig into the skills that move careers forward: real communication, constructive conflict, and resilience. As a business school lecturer, Julia designs phone‑down classrooms where students practise critical thinking and live debate. She shares practical strategies to raise your voice respectfully, advocate for your impact, and use Toastmasters as a safe lab for public speaking, leadership, and feedback. We also unpack SMARTER goals—adding Exciting and Rewarding to keep progress meaningful in a volatile, uncertain world.

If you’ve wondered how to recognise burnout early, align job choices to values, and build a network that actually works for you, this conversation is your field guide.

The most powerful support isn’t always advice—it’s being heard by someone who truly understands. We sit down with entrepreneur and father Chris Coulter to explore how The Mentor Well pairs young people with mentors who’ve lived through similar challenges and can offer the rare combination of empathy, clarity, and practical tools. Instead of replacing therapy or policing from home, this approach builds a trusted, confidential space where teens and young adults can unpack pressure from school, identity questions, family change, or the noise of social media and leave with skills they can use the same day.

Chris explains why parents—out of love—often jump into “fix it” mode and how that can shut conversations down. Mentors do it differently: they ask whether a teen wants a “feel it” or “fix it” conversation, teach core elements of emotional intelligence like self‑awareness, self‑regulation, empathy and conflict repair, and celebrate small wins to build durable confidence. Matching by lived experience is the key. Whether it’s navigating divorce, a tough exam result, orientation questions, or the “now what?” after university, mentees see a real person who made it through—and that makes their own next step believable.

We also talk about what today’s families have lost as extended networks fade and comparison culture grows. The Mentor Well’s six‑month model gives time for trust to deepen and for practical habits—like writing down one daily win—to rewire how progress is measured. The aim isn’t dependency; it’s capability. Chris shares moving transformations and the deeply personal origin of the project: a tribute to his daughter Maddie, whose legacy fuels a mission to reach teens before crisis. If you care about youth mental fitness, mentoring, and real‑world life skills, this conversation offers a clear, humane blueprint.

What if the strongest medicine isn’t in a bottle, but in the space between two people? Dr Fred Moss joins us to rethink how we approach pain, purpose, and the story of “mental illness,” tracing his path from talkative kid to psychiatrist to “undoctor” who helps people step out of labels and into connection.

We explore the seismic shift that came with the Prozac era and why so many of us were taught to treat discomfort as disease. Fred shares how that narrative left him misaligned—handing out diagnoses and scripts while watching lives shrink—and what changed when he started tapering medications, undiagnosing identities, and guiding people toward practices that cost little and change a lot. From sleep and hydration to time in nature, creativity, service, and genuine conversation, he lays out the MOSS Method as a practical, humane way to stabilise without numbing, reconnect without retreating, and build mental health through daily choices rather than permanent labels.

The journey goes global with his “Global Madness” lens: a broken arm is universal; a psychiatric label is cultural. Across Thailand, Bhutan, Nepal, Israel, and beyond, Fred shows how traits pathologised in one place can be honoured in another. That insight reframes “mental illness” as a negotiated reality—one we can renegotiate. We talk frankly about suicide as profound disconnection and why prevention begins with presence: staying close, resonating with pain, and helping people rediscover a reason to belong. Fred’s Undoctor Reset invites anyone—no licence required—to lead with curiosity and compassion: undiagnose, unmedicate, and undoctrinate where appropriate, and put human connection back at the centre of care.

If you’ve ever felt reduced to a code or wondered whether there might be nothing “wrong” with you at all, this conversation offers a map home. Subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review telling us where you’ve found the most healing connection lately.

What happens when you lose everything—not just material possessions, but the support of friends who judge rather than uplift you? Rajesh Kumar's remarkable journey from homelessness and hunger to spiritual abundance reveals the transformative power of four fundamental principles that can reshape anyone's life.

Rajesh opens his heart to share deeply personal experiences of hitting rock bottom—living on the streets, unable to afford even a single meal for extended periods. The pain of rejection from friends who blamed him for his circumstances became a pivotal moment that led him to seek shelter in faith rather than material security. Through religious institutions that offered free meals, Rajesh discovered a profound truth: the most valuable currencies in life aren't monetary but spiritual.

The conversation delves into the four pillars that now guide Rajesh's existence: love, honesty, truth, and respect. He eloquently explains how love forms the foundation upon which all other values stand, describing respect as the recognition that the same divine soul exists in every being. His definition challenges listeners to look beyond surface behaviors and judgments to honor the essential humanity in everyone we encounter.

One of the most compelling segments explores Rajesh's commitment to honesty in his professional life, even when speaking truth to power cost him his job. Rather than retaliating or defending himself to higher management, he chose to walk away with integrity intact—a decision that ultimately led him to more fulfilling work as a healthcare consultant. His story beautifully illustrates how adhering to core principles, even during difficult times, creates space for authentic abundance to enter.

The episode culminates with Rajesh's simple yet profound message: believe in something greater than yourself, seek shelter in faith, and trust that wisdom and guidance will follow. His journey from desperation to inner peace offers hope that transformation is possible for anyone willing to embrace these timeless values.

What core principles guide your life? How might adopting love, honesty, truth, and respect as your foundation transform your relationships and outlook? Listen, reflect, and perhaps discover your own path to authentic abundance.

Have you ever felt that entrepreneurial itch—the burning desire for freedom, financial independence, and a legacy that a 9-to-5 job simply can't provide? Before you leap into business ownership, listen to Anthony Jones share profound insights from his 25-year career helping startups and small businesses navigate the rocky terrain of entrepreneurship.

This eye-opening conversation explores why so many passionate entrepreneurs fail despite their best intentions. With refreshing candor, Jones reveals the critical intersection where skills meet passion—the sweet spot every business owner should identify before investing time and money. His practical approach to market research demolishes the myth that you need expensive consultants to validate your business idea. Through simple strategies like customer surveys and networking groups, Jones demonstrates how anyone can test their concept's viability.

For those hesitant to start from scratch, Jones offers compelling alternatives that provide immediate cash flow. From trending low-involvement businesses like laundromats and vending machine routes to acquiring existing operations, he presents paths to entrepreneurship that minimize risk while maximizing return. His recommendation of the business model canvas as a daily visual guide transforms abstract business concepts into actionable plans anyone can implement.

Perhaps most valuable is Jones' advice on finding quality business guidance without falling prey to slick marketing. "If they don't offer like a free session or something, and then let the person decide if they want to work with you," he cautions, "I would be a bit leery." This authentic approach to mentorship reflects his overall philosophy: start somewhere, take action, and remember that even the thousand-mile entrepreneurial journey begins with a single step.
