  REWIND - Stuck in Your Head? Tired of Feeling Frozen? Use This Framework to Take Action 08.09.2026 37min

  Fear. Doubt. Anxiety. The mental spiral that makes everything feel heavier than it actually is. In this episode, Todd and Chris go straight into the "real stuff" that shows up when you're in transition or uncertainty — especially when you're trying to make a big change and your nervous system starts writing worst-case stories. We break down a simple truth: your emotions can feel urgent… without being supported by objective reality. And we give you practical tools to stop the spiral, separate facts from fear, and turn "negative" emotions into forward motion. In this conversation, you'll learn: Why your nervous system can react like the world is ending - even when the numbers say you're okay How to tell the difference between real fear and "rollercoaster fear" A simple method to sort what's valid vs. imagined The "control the controllables" mindset shift (and why it saves massive energy) Why numbing out (Netflix, distractions, checking out) keeps you stuck - and what to do instead The Allow & Reflect practice Todd uses to process fear and generate solutions If you've been feeling stuck, frozen, or caught in old conditioning… this episode will give you a framework to work with fear - without letting it drive the car.

  REWIND - How A Stanford Ph.D. Uses 'Product Thinking' To Reinvent Her Career 01.09.2026 36min

  Roxana Heitz is the kind of person who "has it all" on paper: Stanford Ph.D., 15+ years of product leadership, and a career building health and wellness products across the Google/Alphabet health ecosystem, Peloton, and others… So why reinvent? In this episode, Roxana breaks down a tension so many mid-career high performers feel: the work still matters, but the environment doesn't fit anymore. The gap between insight → action gets slow. The process becomes the job. The misalignment grows. Instead of making one massive leap, Roxana applies product thinking to her own career reinvention: form hypotheses, run experiments, collect data, and iterate. The result is a portfolio approach - building flexibility and momentum while she explores what's next. What we cover: The moment corporate success stops feeling aligned, even when the mission is meaningful How Roxana gave herself "permission" to step off the treadmill Designing a portfolio career: advisory/consulting, fractional product leadership, and founder exploration Why "betting on yourself" is a skill - and how to build it without blowing up your life The ReInvention superpower most people skip: feedback, accountability, and community If you're a high-achiever who's quietly thinking, "I can't keep doing it this way," Roxana's story will help you rethink what's possible - and how to move forward with clarity without needing a perfect 20-year plan.

  E49 - Is College Still Worth It? What Every Parent Needs to Hear About the Future of Work 18.08.2026 36min

  For generations, the path seemed simple: Go to college. Get a degree. Find a good job. But what happens when the world changes faster than the education system? AI is reshaping work. Employers are placing greater value on skills than credentials. Apprenticeships are making a comeback. And more families than ever are asking a question that would have seemed unthinkable just a few years ago: Is a traditional four-year degree still the best path? In this episode of ReInvention, I sit down with author, educator, and futurist Kathleen deLaski to explore what the future of education really looks like - and how parents can prepare their children for careers that may not even exist yet. This isn't an argument against college. It's a conversation about possibility. We discuss: Why the four-year college degree is no longer the default answer How AI is reshaping education and hiring The rise of apprenticeships and skills-based careers Why certificates and shorter learning pathways are exploding The human skills employers say they'll pay more for If this conversation challenged the way you think about education, work, or parenting, be sure to subscribe, share it with someone who has teenagers, and leave a review. It helps us continue bringing you conversations that prepare people - not just for the future of work - but for a meaningful life. **Subscribe to the ReInvention Podcast for more thought-provoking conversations about the future of work, practical tools concerning career transitions, and insights about AI and emerging technologies that will help you stay ahead of the game.

  E48 - Who Are You Without Your Job? The Hidden Identity Crisis Facing Millions Right Now 11.08.2026 40min

  For decades, we've been taught 'how to build' successful, long lasting careers. But almost nobody teaches us what happens when that career suddenly disappears - or when it no longer feels like the life we want. In this deeply honest conversation, former Fortune 500 Chief Communications Officer Geoff Curtis shares what happened after a corporate acquisition eliminated the role that had defined him for nearly 30 years. What followed wasn't just a job search. It was an identity crisis. Together, we explore what Geoff calls "professional identity purgatory" - that uncomfortable space between who you were and who you're becoming. If you're navigating career uncertainty, AI disruption, burnout, job loss, or simply wondering what's next, this conversation offers something far more valuable than a five-step plan: permission to slow down, embrace discomfort, and rediscover who you are beyond your title. In this episode, you'll discover: The hidden danger of tying your identity to your career Why rushing into the "next thing" can actually delay your reinvention How to become comfortable with uncertainty instead of fighting it Practical ways to begin rebuilding your identity before life forces you to The future belongs to people who can adapt - not just professionally, but personally. Sometimes the first step toward reinvention isn't finding the next job. It's remembering who you are without one. **Subscribe to the ReInvention Podcast for more thought-provoking conversations about the future of work, practical tools concerning career transitions, and insights about AI and emerging technologies that will help you stay ahead of the game.

  E47 - The Most Successful People Never Stop Being Beginners | Charles Lee 04.08.2026 38min

  What if the biggest risk to your future isn't AI...what if it's living on autopilot? In this episode of Reinvention, Todd sits down with innovation strategist, best-selling author, and CEO Charles Lee to explore one of the biggest questions facing professionals today: Am I intentionally designing my life - or simply reacting to it? As AI reshapes careers and the future of work, many midlife professionals are questioning not only what they do for a living, but who they want to become. Charles shares a practical framework for career reinvention that begins with something surprisingly simple: curiosity. Charles shares some incredible useful and creative practices for developing critical thinking. For example, you'll learn why Charles goes to conferences outside his industry - and how this shapes his success in surprising ways. Together, Todd and Charles explore why meaningful relationships and contribution - not status or achievement - are the true foundations of a fulfilling life. If you're navigating career change, considering a new chapter, or wondering how to stay relevant in an AI-driven world, this conversation offers a thoughtful roadmap for designing your future with intention. We cover: Why success must start with curiosity - not certainty The two ingredients that consistently define a meaningful life How external pressures quietly shape your identity Why successful people intentionally expose themselves to unfamiliar ideas How to prepare for career transitions in the age of AI Why relationships may become your greatest competitive advantage **Subscribe to the ReInvention Podcast for more thought-provoking conversations about the future of work, practical tools concerning career transitions, and insights about AI and emerging technologies that will help you stay ahead of the game.

  E44 - AI Will Break Society" - A Silicon Valley Insider on What's Coming Next 14.07.2026 39min

  While most of us are still figuring out how to use ChatGPT and Claude, Max Ventilla is helping build the next generation of AI companies. A four-time founder, former Google and Dropbox executive, and investor who has helped raise over a billion dollars, Max spends his days thinking about where this technology is actually heading - and what it means for the rest of us. In this episode, we move beyond the headlines and into the deeper questions: Will AI really replace knowledge work? Does AI actually understand what it's saying? What happens when digital agents become part of our daily lives? And perhaps most importantly: How do we prepare ourselves - and our kids - for a future that may look radically different from the world we know today? At one point in the conversation, Max makes a startling prediction: "I think it'll break society." Not because AI is evil. Because the pace of change may be faster than our institutions, careers, education systems, and culture can adapt. **Subscribe to the ReInvention Podcast for more thought-provoking conversations about the future of work, practical tools concerning career transitions, and insights about AI and emerging technologies that will help you stay ahead of the game.

  E43 - How Some People Thrive During Change (And Why Others Don't) 07.07.2026 42min

  As AI reshapes the workplace, many professionals are asking the same questions: Will my job still exist? How do I stay relevant? What skills actually matter now? And how do I stop feeling overwhelmed by how fast everything is changing? In this episode, executive coach Nikki Goldman shares what she's seeing from a front-row seat coaching founders, executives, and leadership teams across Fortune 500 companies, private equity firms, hedge funds, and high-growth startups. What surprised me most wasn't her perspective on AI. It was her perspective on identity. According to Nikki, the people who will thrive in the years ahead aren't necessarily the smartest or the most technical. They're the people willing to embrace a new identity: "I am a learner. I embrace change." We explore the mindset shifts, leadership principles, and practical tools that help people stay calm, adaptable, and effective in a world that's changing faster than ever. You'll hear: Why AI won't replace your humanity The skills becoming more valuable - not less - in the age of automation How great leaders create calm during uncertainty A powerful visualization exercise used by top executives Nikki's "Ready, Set, Go" framework for navigating change and creating momentum If you're feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or wondering how to navigate the future of work, this conversation is for you. **Subscribe to the ReInvention Podcast for more thought-provoking conversations about the future of work, practical tools concerning career transitions, and insights about AI and emerging technologies that will help you stay ahead of the game.

  E42 - How To Master Career Reinvention: 2 Traits That Will Define Your Future 30.06.2026 10min

  The world is changing faster than ever. AI is transforming industries, careers are becoming less predictable, and many professionals are quietly asking themselves the same question: "What is my future going to look like?" I personally think that most people don't fully realize how much change is coming, and how much the future of work is shifting. But after dozens of conversations with founders, CEOs, investors, AI pioneers, and people who have completely reinvented their careers, one thing has become incredibly clear: Technology isn't the real story. Identity is - and the daily decisions you make right now matter more than ever. In this opening solo episode of Season 3, I summarize the mindset shift that inspired the evolution of the ReInvention podcast - and the two qualities I believe will separate the people who build thriving careers from those who struggle in the years ahead. You'll learn: How the greatest leaders feel when they wake up in the morning. Why taking space and thinking BIGGER is absolutely necessary right now. Why the mindset of curiosity + resilience is the master recipe for success Why the goal isn't to avoid failure - it's learning to reinvent yourself faster. This episode is your manifesto to engage in the changing world of work. Do NOT sit on the sidelines in any way.

  If you're a mid-career professional staring down AI, burnout, layoffs, or the quiet dread of "I cannot do this for another 20 years," this episode is for you. Todd and Chris break down the 6 Tenets of Reinvention they use with clients and in their own lives – a practical framework to design your next chapter with intention instead of panic. This is the system Chris literally wishes he'd had 10 years ago when he was stuck in a big corporate job, burned out, and feeling trapped. In this conversation, they unpack: Why clarity comes first and how to start designing a future you're actually excited about Growth mindset without the buzzword BS – using optimism as a real career strategy, not a meme Game planning like the CEO of your own life, not just reacting to the next reorg or layoff The moment thinking stops and taking action begins (and what that action can look like) Skill-building in the age of AI – how to become a student again without starting from zero Why isolation kills reinvention and how accountability + community massively speeds things up If you're in that "anything but this… but I don't know what's next" phase, this episode will give you a language, a roadmap, and a starting point to move forward. **Subscribe to our ReInvention Podcast and stay on the cutting-edge with fresh ideas and practical tools to navigate the future of your work!

  REWIND - Stuck, Burned Out, or Just Unsatisfied? Career Reinvention Begins HERE 16.06.2026 33min

  This first episode of The ReInvention Podcast dives into the real starting line of every successful career and life transformation: CLARITY. Todd Jason and Chris Thide break open the truth about why midlife reinvention feels so damn hard, why most professionals hit a wall, and why traditional career paths leave so many people burned out, bored, or quietly miserable. They share personal stories from corporate exits, identity unraveling, and the uncomfortable (but liberating) process of rediscovering who you actually are beneath decades of expectations. This episode explores how getting CLARITY works, why most people get it wrong, and how to create a powerful "North Star" vision that guides your next chapter. You'll hear the exact practices Todd and Chris use with thousands of Reinventors—including the surprisingly emotional "write your own eulogy" exercise—and why dreaming bigger than seems reasonable is the secret sauce for designing work and a life that lights you up. If you're in your 30s, 40s, or 50s - feeling stuck, uninspired, or hungry for more purpose, this conversation will feel like someone finally turned the lights on. Whether you're reinventing your career, considering a leap into entrepreneurship, or simply craving a more meaningful life, this episode shows you where the journey truly begins. **Subscribe to our ReInvention Podcast and stay on the cutting-edge with fresh ideas and practical tools to navigate the future of your work!

  This is what Career ReInvention actually looks like. Not perfect. Not planned. Not safe. Katrina Cicero didn't love her corporate job - but like a lot of people, she stayed because it felt like the "right" path. Until she couldn't anymore. What happened next is the kind of story more people need to hear.

This isn't a theory. It's real life. We talk about: The moment she knew she couldn't stay in her 9–5 anymore How she actually made the leap (during COVID, no less) Why fear doesn't go away - you just learn to move anyway How she turned a creative passion into a real, growing business There's no "perfect plan" in this story. Just action, risk, doubt, wins, setbacks—and momentum. **Subscribe to the ReInvention Podcast to stay plugged into fresh ideas, frameworks, and real-world tools for navigating the future of your work and life. _____________ Todd Jason is an executive coach and career transition specialist.
