Season 3 Finale! Meet Joseph the Good Monday Coach Teaches us Failure Doesn't Have to be Final

Failing is hard. But failure doesn’t have to be final. In the final episode of Season 3, Andy sat down with Joseph Tan, the founder of Good Monday Consulting. Joseph helps CEOs and company leaders develop their strengths, culture, and character. And at the beginning of his entrepreneurial journey, he greatly doubted his abilities. Thankfully, he had people around him who believed in him. They listened to his seeds of doubt and planted seeds of hope and potential in him. Those seeds have grown and are still alive today, and so is his company. Joseph talks about how feedback is the real breakfast of champions. Excitedly shares how playing with Legos helps his clients take ownership of their vision. And tells the story about how he was challenged to become a TikTok Dad. We're excited to share his story with you.

Unwrapping our Family Christmas Dilemma: To Gift or Not to Gift?

Caleb and Andy use episode 8 of season 3 for external processing. What else is new? In this reflective episode of Underqualified Thoughts, they sit down and dig into their family's Christmas gift-giving traditions. Join them as they candidly discuss the complex emotions and personal experiences that have led to their discomfort with receiving gifts from family members. From awkward exchanges to the pressure of every Christmas feeling the same, this conversation explores the intricate dynamics of giving and receiving gifts, and the underlying reasons behind their mixed feelings. The episode started off with them saying they hate receiving gifts, but that's not where it ended. So tune in as they unwrap their family Christmas dilemma, shedding light on their begging question: To Gift or Not to Gift?

Why Am I Still Scrolling? An Honest Look At Our Social Lives

In this episode, Caleb surprises Andy with the episode topic. He starts a conversation about social media and questions whether the impact of it can be anything other than negative. The two don't come to a final resolution on the issue, but they share their underqualified thoughts along the way. And more importantly, they aim to model the conversations where you don’t just talk like, "Haha, I’m on social media for 4 hours." And then you laugh about it and move on. But the conversations where you go, "I’m on social media for 4 hours. Why am I on there for 4 hours? What could I be doing instead? Do I need to completely cut it out? Or do I just need to think about how I’m going to engage? And then put parameters around that so I don’t go past that… We hope for you viewers that this thought is triggered in you. And that you take that away and positively impact your community around you.

What Does it Mean to be Generous?

Are you generous? It isn't a simple question to answer. This conversation about generosity is our first attempt at a themed episode. Some things didn't change. Andy went on a few tangents, and Caleb steered him back. Also, Andy accidentally recorded the audio through laptop speakers instead of the microphone that was inches from his mouth. sigh But something new happened. We had a clear thesis that we built on throughout the episode. And we made a concise statement as a takeaway at the end. Generosity is more than just money. It's about our time, our talents, and our treasures. We haven't listened back to the audio. We hope the message comes through as clearly as we thought it did in the moment. Either way, we're excited to share this episode with you and hear your feedback.

Laid Off, Car Troubles, and the Fear of the Unknown! When Life Happens - Part 2

The season started with amazing interviews where we heard how Lauren and Leslie navigated life when they felt underqualified. Our initial plan was to try out a new kind of episode where we have a topic-based discussion, but as the saying goes, “life happened.” Today, we're continuing our throwback, early episode-style Underqualified Thoughts conversation. We're processing what is going on in our lives by chatting about driving a car almost as old as Caleb and an exciting job opportunity for Andy's wife. There is a hard left in the middle. What else is new? In that, we externally process our vision for the podcast: conversations where we aren't preachy. Then, we get back on track, and Andy gets on a soap box and is a little preachy lol. We hope you enjoy it!

Laid Off, Doctor Visits, and Unexpected Tax Bills! When Life Happens - Part 1
