Former colleague, Jim Boyd, Founder of Cirrus Group Consulting, joined me to talk about career paths and midlife career changes. It's fitting since Jim made a career change of his own just a couple years shy of his fiftieth birthday. In 2019, he started his own Data/AI Consulting firm. One year later the pandemic hit. And in 2024, he and his family packed their bags and moved from the US to Australia! Today Jim runs US-based, Cirrus, from down under. During his career, Jim has helped thousands of people naviagte their careers. He understands the challenges associated with making the decision to persue a new path. We talked about cultural fit, job interviews, the importance of networking, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. But perhaps the most important piece of advice had to do with being genuine and true to oneself. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome to Cut Through the Noise, bringing you the truth behind the headlines in business and current events, Hosted by Dave Turano 'When I got out of college, the job market was horrendous and I didn't know what I wanted to do. For a year, I applied to every job on the planet and saved up a stack of rejection letters from all off them' So what did Tom Hannigan and his Criminal Justice degree do after he graduated from St. Anselm College? He worked in a warehouse, and then as a security guard, and finally as a claims adjuster. A few years later, his buddy got him an interview at EMC for a sales job. Tom had not heard of EMC at at the time, but he took the interview anyway. And? He fell short... His buddy shared the following feedback when it was over... 'They said you were pretty mediocre...' Thankfully for Tom, EMC gave him a second chance. 'I was at the right place at the right time and blessed to be molded by them' Tom put in the work and rose through the ranks at EMC for the next 16 years. Today, he sits atop ServiceNow Americas - a company that he's watched grow from $400 Million and 1000 employees to $10 Billion and 23,000 employees since he joined ten years ago. How? 'We have the best people and the best people always win' Listen to this upbeat conversation about having fun with people that you like and trust. 'Nothing ever came easy to me.

Not many people have the courage to walk away from the security of a great job, especially when they love what they do. But that's s exactly what Liam Martin did. After fifteen years in broadcast television; the last four as morning anchor at WBZ Boston; Liam said goodbye to explore a new venture in the private sector. Martin partnered up with Jackie Bruno and Rachel Robbins at Newsmaker Marketing; a Public Relations firm that helps its clients tell their stories through video, social media marketing, and by helping them to get hits on the news! It's been six weeks since he made the announcement and he has no regrets at all! 'What it really boiled down to was my mental health, and wanting to be the husband and dad that I want to be,' is what Liam expressed to me when I asked him why he decided to do this. About a year into working the morning shift, he knew something wasn't right... Getting up at 2:15 AM each day was taking a toll on him...fog-brain, depression, and anxiety had set in, only exacerbating some of the mental health challenges that he had experienced as a child. Thankfully, with the support of his family, friends and regular therapy, he is working to incorporate several routines that have helped him to feel a little better.

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedI'm proud to call this guy a friend - he's an amazing individual! Sean McCourt grew up in Teaneck, NJ; a lower middle class town just outisde of New York City. He his thankful to his Mom & Dad for instilling core values and just enough 'healthy neglect' to help him find his way in life. After High School, Sean spent four years at Roger Williams College in Rhode Island, where he ALMOST graduated! When he left college, Sean took a sales job with a staffing firm in Boston. And over the next fifteen years he often wondered what it would be like to have his own company, but the one thing that held him back was fear. 'I was afraid' Ultimately, it was Sean's wife Katherine that inspired him to take the chance. 'Stop being a P@$$y - Sh$t or get off the pot. You can do this!' And just like that...Longford & Associates was born. One year later, Katherine along with their three kids (Jack 5, Claire 2 and Will 3 months) had gone to visit her parents in upstate New York. Sean stayed home to work on the company and while at dinner with friends, he received a call from his father-in-law. that would change his forever. Please take the time to listen to his inspiring story.…

60 going on 26! Ken Johnson has more energy than most people half his age, which is a good thing because he plans to live for another 30-40 years! In 2022, Ken stepped down as CEO of @masmedicalstaffing after nearly twenty years at the helm. Just after 911, he and his team stumbled into the Healthcare Staffing space, but no one could have anticipated that the company would sell for nine figures two decades later. Their growth was 100% orgnanic - no mergers - no acquisitions - just 'brute force' and the willingess to embrace technology. In the early days Ken threw himself into his job, but 17 years ago his wife, Susan, confronted him about his drinking. 'It's the booze or it's me and the kids,' she said. She changed his life that day. Ken went on to say, 'I quit drinking and it was hard - it was the hardest thing I've ever done.' 'The battle was psychological, but today my life is so much better. Today is the happiest I've ever been.' In this conversation Ken and I talked about business, booze and life after selling his company. I hope it's a source of inspiration for anyone that might be struggling with an addiction or perhaps looking for a meaningful way to spend their time after moving on from a business or a career. #healthcare #nursing #healthcareworkers #travelnurse #technology #uber #alcohol #drinking #opportunity #hobbies #painting #guitar #newhampshire #acadianationalpark❤️ #maine #usnavy #coaching #leadership #sale #communication #workethic #hardwork #belief #ceo #privateequity #founder #living…

Dina Gray’s daughter, Emilia, was diagnosed with Autism at 18 months old and heavily reliant on behavioral therapy. When schools went fully remote in March of 2020, Emilia’s development immediately started regressing. As time passed, Dina’s concerns began to grow about the lack of support available to her daughter and other families with Autistic children. It wasn’t until Emilia aged-out the therapy program she’d been in that Dina met her now Clinical Partner, Kerri Brown. Dina was drawn to Kerri from the get-go, but when she learned that Kerri had experience working with older children with Autism, the idea for ABA Helps was born - ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. Today, Dina and Kerri provide in-home therapy services to children and young adults on the autism spectrum. They work closely with clients and their families in their natural environment to develop and reinforce functional communication and behavior skills that enhance independence.

Now that the holiday season is in full swing, many of us will have ample opportunity to gather with friends, family and colleagues to eat, drink and celebrate...and then drink some more! Who hasn't pre-gamed before an office party or polished off a few bottles of wine with friends after shopping?1?! Much like coffee, Alcohol has become a staple in the daily lives of many successful people. The marketing dollars spent to promote alcohol consumption is only rivaled by the money spent by automodbile industry. Alcohol has been normalized, glamourized and accessorized to a population that also shames the people that drink more than they would like. Caroline Holke helps successful women get rid of the shitty parts of drinking so they can create a life they wouldn't dream of numbing out of. Most people focus on what to DO to cut back on their drinking, while Caroline helps her clients tease out what is "driving them to drink" in the first place. Addressing these underlying, root causes helps her clients create sustainable change in their relationship with drinking. Caroline's work centers on teaching her clients how to apply critical thinking skills to their own thinking because we believe what we think! When you learn how to think on purpose, you can go from wanting to numb out to escape your life to creating a life that you don't want to miss any of. In this past year alone, research shows that women are drinking 41% more than they were before the pandemic. The vast majoirty of Caroline's clients do not 'look' like they have a problem. Many of them are highly accomplished personally and professionally, but inside they are hurting. This episode might provide options to the gray area drinker that is looking for an option besides AA. Hope you enjoy! Happy Holidays! @caroline holke; @JCE Consulting @Dave Turano…

In 2020, COVID-19 threw the world into turmoil. For many of us, this was the first time that we had to take immediate – and drastic – action to protect our health and the health of others. We had to follow a new set of emergency policies and protocols, put in place at a time when many experts and authorities were only making the best decisions they could with the limited information they had. In a political climate that was already tense, having to separate from one another only made us more divided. Some masked, some didn’t. Some believed that the best protection for children was to keep them away from school; others feared the long-term consequences of closing schools. Some isolated; others continued to gather. Then came the vaccines. So did the social pressure, the misinformation, the lack of trust – and the mandates. If the pandemic was already political, COVID shots and the messaging around them escalated the tension. And even with the CDC changing their guidelines and many cities doing away with mandates, people are still at odds with one another over vaccines, boosters, and the policies around COVID. In this episode, we hear from Dr. Adjoa Smalls Mantey. As a viral immunology researcher and trained psychiatrist, Adjoa understands why educating people about vaccines is just as important as making them. We discuss vaccine hesitancy, COVID policies, and how we can be more intentional about how we share information about illness and immunizations. In addition to her work as a psychiatrist, Adjoa is also the co-author of Anjali the Brave, a book that teaches children about vaccines.

Like many Americans, Josie Warren touts a troubling backlog of health issues. Throughout her life, she suffered from thyroid issues, eating disorders, alcoholism, and a host of other challenges that kept her and her body on a perpetual see-saw of symptoms. Being chronically ill became a way of life for Josie. She relied on pharmaceuticals to get through the day, and she was sure that her body was meant to live in a state of constant sickness. But when Josie became so ill that she had to leave her job as a therapist at the age of twenty-eight, she realized that treating her symptoms wasn’t enough anymore – she had to find a way to rid herself of the illness altogether. She ended up at a health center that specializes in chronic illness in Colorado. That was when a professional finally asked her the pivotal question: “Why are you doing this to yourself?” By looking inward, Josie had to confront all of the stressors that were activating her sympathetic nervous system and making her ill. But as she continued to learn from herself and others, she also came to understand that external stress isn’t the culprit. We’re not getting sick because of our environment, or the food we’re eating, or the job we’re working. We’re getting sick because we’ve lost the ability to respond to stress in the way that we’re meant to. Now, Josie is an educator who shares her knowledge and expertise with those who are looking to heal themselves from illness. According to Josie, when we take ownership over our stressors, we rebuild our resilience; when we learn how to do life, our bodies enter homeostasis – and finally, we begin to heal.

Loss is catastrophic. Nothing will fill the void left by a loved one, and there’s no quick fix for a broken heart. Loss can also be the catalyst for uncertainty. What will life look like, without that person that was so vital to our existence? Now that they’re gone, what will happen to the life we built with them? How will we manage, and who will we become? Kim Hamer found herself asking these questions thirteen years ago, when her husband passed away from cancer. Left to grieve, Kim had to support their three kids. She became a widow in a community full of wives. She had to reimagine her future – now without the man who was supposed to be her forever. Kim also had to field a catapult of condolences from everyone around her – all of which came from sympathy and kindness, but some of which left her feeling worse. When someone in our life – friend, family member, colleague, or client – is grieving their own tragedy, many of us find ourselves at a loss for how to help. What do we say to them, when we know that our words won’t fix anything? How can we offer support, and what should that support look like? In this episode, Kim shares how she helps people, communities, and companies process turbulence and loss. Kim acknowledges that when it comes to soothing someone in grief, we really are inadequate – even if we do all their grocery shopping for the month. But we can also be thoughtful. We can pay close attention and step in at the right moments. We can understand that we matter, and that there are authentic, memorable ways that we can support someone when their world is falling apart.

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedSociety is made up of systems. We sanction governments, companies, and schools, so that we can operate in a shared space. We create milestones – like having children, getting promoted, or owning a home – that become the maps by which we organize and live our lives. Most systems come with good intentions. Many of our systems allow us to find purpose and contribute to the world. But there are a lot of people who don’t fit within a system. They can’t be at an office from 9 to 5. They don’t thrive within the hierarchy of a company. They can’t stay curious and engaged in school. Michaell Magrutsche argues that the problem isn’t us; we know that in each person there are gifts, curiosities, intuitions, and desires, all of which can achieve infinite potential. The problem is that we are organic beings, stuck in – and limited by – a system that is static. If we aren’t careful, systems dictate how we live and who we become. But we don’t have to do away with systems. We don’t necessarily have to reinvent them either. Instead, Michaell suggests that we recognize ourselves not as stewards of systems, but as conscious beings. Only then can we unburden ourselves from the limitations of these systems. Only then can we reach a higher truth, one that honors our humanity and allows us to share ourselves authentically. Michaell Magrutsche is a multimedia artist, mentor, and writer.

Attitudes toward law enforcement vary in this country. Some communities generally trust their police. Others clearly need reform. But officers all wear the same uniform–even one controversy affects us all. In 2006, Ed Cronin took over as the Chief of Police in what was then called “crime city.” At the time, Fitchburg, MA had a higher murder rate per capita than Boston, and a dropout rate of minority students of over 40%. But after learning about Boston’s method for reducing crime, Ed decided to take a more grassroots approach. He began holding neighborhood meetings, where he provided a platform for community members to voice their perspective–and for officers to listen. He realized that when it came to reducing crime, he already had the most valuable asset right in Fitchburg: the mothers, members of the clergy, business owners, school administrators, and community members who were equally concerned. Over time, Ed forged collaborative, trusting relationships between Fitchburg community members and police. Over time, the dropout rate decreased to under 8% of minority students, and last year, Fitchburg had just one murder. In this episode, Ed doesn’t just talk about Fitchburg. Through his research, decades of experience, and advising communities at home and abroad, Ed has learned that there are proactive–and more peaceful–approaches that we can take to police reform. They start with putting communities and officers at the center of the conversation. They start with accountability and leadership, both within communities and within law enforcement agencies. They start by acknowledging that we have to take the long road–but that doing so could transform the reputation of police for generations to come.

You can post your job on Indeed or Zip Recruiter and have a dozen applicants in minutes. But are they the right candidates? We talk a lot about relationships on this podcast. While the digital age should make connecting easier, our online platforms are so clogged with candidates that when it comes to staffing, we really haven’t made much progress. Many companies are still advertising the job to the largest possible audience, desperate to find that “rockstar” candidate who jives with their team and sparkles them with potential. But candidates are more than their online profiles. And finding more candidates doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re finding the right ones.

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedCuriosity is innate in children. Kids want to understand why things are the way that they are, and they want to contribute in meaningful ways to the world around them. But society hasn’t set up a system that celebrates curiosity. Many schools–both public and private–aren’t set up to nurture a child’s talent. Many children are coddled out of developing their own resilience and problem-solving skills – which are the skills that they’ll need to become independent adults. But children want to contribute to solving problems, both big and small. And parents want their children to take an active role in becoming producers, not consumers. So how do you teach innovation? And how do you habituate resilience? Today, we hear from Jonathan and Renee Harris, who understand that all children have potential–and that as parents, we can teach them how to use that potential. As entrepreneurs themselves, Jonathan and Renee bring over twenty years of experience parenting and homeschooling their children, several of whom have turned their passions into money-making ventures. From drawing for businesses to knife-making to drone videography, the Harris children have become self-reliant adults, who genuinely enjoy what they do. Even better: they have the confidence and the courage to try new skills and learn from constructive feedback. Now, Jonathan and Renee run Parent Their Passion, where they help families create an environment where their children can chase their passions, take initiative, and gain marketable, valuable skills that we know they’ll need to thrive in a dynamic world.

You write all the time. Texts, memos, presentation headers, tweets, posts on LinkedIn. And emails. So many emails. But experience doesn’t beget effectiveness; even the best writers make mistakes. And writing is high stakes–how we convey our ideas, concerns, questions, and feedback will determine how others see us as professionals and as people. In this episode, we hear from Erin Lebacqz, the founder of High Value Writing, where she helps workplace writers achieve their professional and personal potential. With over 25 years of experience teaching writing, Erin understands that writing is difficult because writing is complicated. How do you connect with your reader? What information do you include, and what do you exclude? How do you communicate clearly, without compromising relationships? Writing is grueling work. But when we write well, we’re more likely to apply for (and get) that internship or dream job. We feel more confident about asking questions or sharing a concern.

In the US, the college search is its own era in young adulthood. High schoolers and their parents travel the country in search of the right fit. Students are encouraged to find a campus that gives them “that feeling” – that affirming jitter that says, “this is where you belong.” And for many of us, helping a child navigate the college process is its own emotional, mental, and financial obstacle. While every college website features plenty of photos, testimonials, a list of majors, and a menu of enticing campus offerings, you won’t know how you feel about it until you visit.

The loneliness epidemic isn’t a secret. Even before COVID, Americans were feeling more isolated from friends, from family, from their colleagues, and from themselves. We know that the problem is pervasive, and we know that it applies to all types of organizations. How do you attract and retain the right people, if they don’t feel loyal to their colleagues or to the company? Author, speaker, and adviser Charles Vogl argues that there are evidence-based practices for creating community. And he’s not talking about retreats or grandiose gatherings. He’s talking about changing a company’s culture so that it fosters real connection, like the comfortable, discoursal, inspiring comradery we feel when we’re sitting around the campfire. That’s the kind of connection that generates ideas and an environment of support. Life-altering circumstances like a global lockdown can put some companies at risk. But when everyone feels loyal to the brand, they feel loyal to one another. Then, the company can develop the resilience to pivot and persevere when necessary.

Rachel Chaikof was one week old when her mother, Melissa, suspected that something was wrong: she didn’t startle at the sound of a slamming car door. Rachel was diagnosed with Usher Syndrome, a genetic condition which causes either inherent or progressive deafness. But being deaf was not an absolute: as a child, Rachel became one of the first children to receive a Cochlear Implant by way of an FDA trial. Because of medical innovation, Rachel could now experience the world for how it was meant to be experienced. But later, Rachel also began to lose her sight. At the age of 19, Rachel was diagnosed with Usher Type 1, more specifically categorized by progressive blindness in addition to loss of hearing. This time, there was no medical innovation currently available, and Melissa, an experienced advocate in the network of nonprofits dedicated to hearing loss, devoted herself to a new goal: finding a cure for Usher’s Type 1. The Chaikof's have seen all that medical innovation is capable of. That’s why Melissa and her husband started the Usher 1F Collaborative, a nonprofit devoted to funding such research. And while their daughter remains optimistic about all that she is capable of, her loss of sight has compromised what she loves most about the world: seeing its beauty in color and having the freedom to navigate on her own. While Rachel is thankful for all of the modern innovations that have allowed people with disabilities to navigate society, she also believes that sometimes, that can distract from the commitment to finding a cure for genetic conditions like Usher Syndrome. Instead of pushing for our environments to adapt to us, how can we push for new research that will instead allow us to access the world for all that it is–beautiful, colorful, and full of possibilities?

But many also feel out of place, and they pick up on small actions that only make them feel less comfortable speaking up. Limor Bergman, a software engineer, noticed that women in her male-dominated field often struggled to feel included and to speak up at work. So she took her 20 years of experience in the industry and started coaching women in tech, with an angle toward curiosity. How can we become curious about ourselves, so that we know what our strengths and talents are? How can we become curious about our strengths, so that we can better pinpoint where we want to take our careers? And finally, how can we speak up at work in a way that demonstrates our curiosity–not only so that we can be heard, but so that we can initiate change and show our value to those around us?

What is ability? We all have distinct abilities, challenges, and gifts. And focusing on what you can do is far more important than focusing on what you can’t do. John Cronin was in his last year in high school, and he needed to figure out what to do next. He thought about what he loved and what he was good at. He landed on socks. Crazy socks. With the help of his dad, Mark, John started to design and sell socks online. They started posting about their business on social media, and before they knew it, orders were soaring. So they started their own company: John’s Crazy Socks, now the world’s largest sock company. But it’s not really about the socks. In this episode, John and Mark teach us about finding our gifts and making the most of our abilities. John and Mark envision a world where people use their varying abilities to achieve – and where it’s no longer remarkable to see people with disabilities achieving great things.
