Graduation season has inspired me to think about all the powerful stories and brilliant advice that my 28 bold moves guests have shared on this podcast. I put myself into the shoes of new graduates and imagined what amazing insight I could have learned if I heard all these stories as I was graduating. It's almost like fast-forwarding into the future to ask my 40-year-old self what I could do after graduating to create a career and life I was proud of. I realized that through the last question I ask each of my guests, "What do you know about being bold today you wish you knew earlier on?," we've co-created a bold moves graduation speech! We're out from the other side of some of our in-the-trenches stories and our hardest moments, and we have advice we wish we could have given to our younger selves about being bold. So I put them all together in this special clips-style podcast episode to inspire graduates who are just setting off into their new bold move journeys, as well as those in their early careers who are eager for mentorship, and all of us who need some extra encouragement to be bold as we face new challenges and opportunities. **This is the perfect episode to share with new graduates, those early in their careers, or anyone who needs extra encouragement to keep going on their bold moves journey!** Episode Resources Be sure to follow, rate, and review this podcast to let me know what you think!

I love interviewing professional coaches because they have a unique view of the challenges people face in life and career, and their advice can be so helpful in looking at problems as opportunities. So when I met Nancy Davis, a certified coach and strategist for high achievers, I quickly invited her to join me for a conversation about marching to the beat of your own drum and what to do when you get stuck. Nancy shares incredible advice – and her own experiences – about what to do when people try to stick us in a box that just doesn’t feel right. We discuss: How knowing your value is critical to both your life and your career How success changes as time passes Why questioning and challenging your assumptions can help you climb out of the (proverbial) box The best business advice Nancy has ever received – listen up for this one! Why being rejected isn’t a bad thing Make sure you listen to the very end. Nancy’s answer to “what do you know today about being bold you wish you would have known earlier on” is key to getting unstuck to tap into your next Bold Move. She says, “Get your brain going.” Episode resources Nancy and I discuss the Bold Moves Recipe, a framework I created that shows you exactly HOW to make a bold move.

Who better to talk about how to position yourself for a promotion than someone who has made it to the C-suite? Meet Katherine Knight, Chief Legal Officer and Vice President, Human Resources and Corporate Governance, at Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. She brings us into her decision-making process as she navigated her career for over 20 years. We discuss Katherine’s early career as a law clerk and trial lawyer, and how she pivoted into corporate law where she became general council before taking on additional areas and responsibilities in HR and corporate governance. She did all this by her early 40’s! Mid-life crisis, what? More like mid-life CLICK! Katherine has found her stride – and learned valuable lessons like the upside of a rescinded job offer – and now, she’s sharing her story to empower you to discover what you want out of your career and how to get it. She discusses what plagues many people from moving forward in their careers in the era of remote work and how to get back on track with a simple (though not easy) concept. Tune in to hear how she advises you to take initiative and get more visible – and much more. We explore questions like: Could being comfortable in your role harm your advancement potential? Is a lateral move worth it? What role does authenticity have in your career? What’s the value of your personal brand in the workplace? And bonus, you’ll hear a tip about career growth that I didn’t know was a key part of making a name for yourself until recently. You won’t want to miss this episode. Katherine is real, raw, and unfiltered. How many times can you say that when talking to an executive? Listen now!

One of the things I love most about hosting this podcast is getting to speak with people making all different types of Bold Moves. Today I’m interviewing the sweetest guest so far – he co-founded a chocolate factory called Harvest Chocolate! Willy Wonka vibes all day in this episode as we break down Matt’s journey to becoming a chocolatier. Ironically, he wasn’t always sold on the idea of opening a chocolate business, but now, three years later, he’s all in and savoring every minute of it. Matt talks about his path to sweet success with morsels of inspiration to encourage your Bold Move journey: Testing and trialing an idea before going all the way in How to minimize fear of leaving a corporate job to start a new business or project Why it’s important to get out of your own way The upside of risk-taking How Bold Moves pay off in dividends Leave a review Let Matt and I know that you loved this episode with a podcast review! Just write the word "CHOCOLATE" in your review, and leave a 5-star rating! I really appreciate it. It helps the show reach even more people who need inspiration to make their next Bold Move!
