Coming Q2 2026
The Personal Innovation Podcast
Conversations with the world’s most fascinating people — designed to leave you smarter, sharper, and ready to become your best self.
You’ve done well. The resume says so.
But there’s a question you keep circling back to — usually around 11 PM, usually alone.
“Is this it? Or is there a version of me I haven’t met yet?”
Most content tells you to hustle harder, post more, optimize everything.
We’re not doing that here.
This show is for people who know the next version of themselves isn’t found by working harder. It’s found by going deeper.
Two Formats
One’s a meal. One’s espresso.
The Meal
Interviews
30–60 minutes · Bi-weekly
Deep, honest conversations with authors, coaches, psychologists, and leaders. The kind of conversation you wish you could eavesdrop on. No PR answers. No highlight reels.
The Espresso
Clarity Drops
10–15 minutes · Bonus episodes
Solo. One framework. One idea. Something you can actually use before your next meeting.
What we explore
Three threads run through every conversation.
Clarity
The stuff nobody teaches you between promotions.
Identity and self-awareness · Finding your purpose · Reinvention and career transitions · Self-leadership · Stoicism and philosophy · Knowing who you are without the title
Growth
How to build the infrastructure for becoming.
Habits and routines that compound · Personal operating systems · AI as a thinking partner · Adapting to change · Mental models and frameworks · Systems over willpower
Impact
Visibility without vanity. Influence without cringe. Showing up as the real version.
