• Episode 7: The Art of Experimenting - 8,000 Steps to Better Days
    Jan 27 2025

    Welcome back to Convergence: The Art of Being Everything! Today we’re talking about my January experiment: 8,000 steps every single day, no excuses. What started as a way to fight the winter blues turned into an eye-opening journey of consistency, accountability, and self-discovery.


    Here’s what I cover in this episode:

    • The Why Behind the Steps: How winter’s gloom motivated me to create this challenge, why 8,000 steps felt like the perfect sweet spot, and how you can find yours.
    • The Power of Accountability: How posting my daily progress on Instagram kept me going, even on days I otherwise might not have.
    • Mindset Shifts: Why framing a goal as “non-negotiable” changes everything and the impact of adopting a “what it takes” mentality.
    • Practical Tips for More Movement: From parking further away to taking the stairs (even just down!), I share simple hacks that add up.
    • Lessons Learned: How this challenge boosted my awareness of my daily habits and redefined what “staying active” really means.
    • What’s Next: My February goals, a subtle step-up to 8,500 steps, and ideas for turning goals into sustainable habits for the long haul.


    This challenge was more than just a numbers game—it was a reminder that small, consistent efforts can create massive shifts in mindset and motivation. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, tips to move more, or a new way to tackle your own goals, this episode has something for you. Thanks for joining me, I'm so grateful you're here!

  • Episode 6: The Art of Golf as a Teacher of Life with Jeramy Curry, PGA
    Jan 19 2025

    I’m so excited to bring you this very special episode of Convergence: The Art of Being Everything. Why so special? Because I’m welcoming my very first guest ever—Jeramy Curry, PGA!


    Jeramy isn’t just an incredible golf instructor; he’s been a huge part of my journey in learning to see golf (and life) in a whole new way. In this episode, we chat about how we first met and bonded over mindset, resilience, and turning challenges into growth. Jeramy shares some amazing insights, like the “Rule of Thirds” (trust me, this will change how you see your progress!) and how visualization can transform not just your golf game, but your outlook on life.


    We also laugh about frustrating days on the course, celebrate small wins, and reflect on the importance of staying grounded—whether you’re playing golf, chasing big dreams, or just trying to enjoy where your feet are.

  • Episode 5: The Art of Being an Ideal Team Player - Book Club
    Jan 12 2025

    The very first book club episode! I just finished reading The Ideal Team Player by Patrick Lencioni. I'm diving into some powerful insights I gained from reading The Ideal Team Player as part of my Emerging Leaders program. This book explores the key qualities that make up an ideal team player—humble, hungry, and smart—and I reflect on how these traits can shape great leadership and strong team dynamics.


    I talk about the story in the book, which centers around a construction company’s leadership team facing the challenge of maintaining their strong teamwork culture while hiring new people. The lesson here is about recognizing potential in others, even when they have areas for growth. I stress the importance of self-awareness, understanding how different environments can bring out the best—or worst—in people, and how to help others develop the skills they might be lacking.


    Through the lens of leadership and personal growth, I share my own experiences and how these ideas have reshaped my perspective on working with teams, whether in a corporate environment or in other leadership roles. I also touch on the idea that while some people may lack certain qualities, with the right support and resources, they can improve and thrive.


    If you’re in any kind of leadership role, or if you’re hoping to be, I think you’ll find the lessons in this book to be incredibly relevant and valuable.

    Jan 6 2025

    Welcome back to Convergence: The Art of Being Everything! It feels great to be back after taking a much-needed break over the holidays. In this episode, I’m diving into how to get back into a routine after the chaos of a busy season. If you’ve been feeling a bit off track after the holidays, trust me, you’re not alone.


    I’ll be sharing some insights on how to ease back into any routine and offer tips for making that transition smoother. In this episode, I cover:

    • Why you need a solid routine to return to (Step 0, if you will!)
    • The importance of starting small and avoiding overwhelm
    • How to figure out how long it will realistically take to get back in the swing of things
    • Using checkboxes and simple steps to keep the momentum going
    • Why this could be the perfect time to reevaluate and adjust your routines to make them work better for you


    Whether you’re getting back into work, fitness, or just your everyday rhythm, I’ve got some ideas to help make that process feel less daunting and more doable. I also share how I approach the return to my podcast routine, with no pressure to be perfect—just to start somewhere.

  • Episode 3: The Art of Actually Achieving Your Goals
    Dec 15 2024

    In this episode of Convergence: The Art of Being Everything, I’m diving into the tools and strategies that have helped me improve my goal-setting and habit-building. After years of planning and getting stuck without executing, I’ve found some methods that actually work—and I’m excited to share them with you.


    I talk about how books like "Atomic Habits" by James Clear and tools from Colin Henderson’s "Grid of Greatness" and Trevor Moawad’s "Alignment Assessment" have shaped my approach. I also introduce my own creation: the "Key Actions Chart", a tool I developed to break big goals into smaller, actionable steps and keep momentum going.


    If you’ve ever struggled with turning big dreams into reality, or if you’re gearing up to set New Year’s resolutions, this episode will give you some practical advice on how to build habits without getting stuck in perfectionism. Join me as I share what’s been working for me and how you can take small, daily actions to achieve your bigger goals.

  • Episode 2: The Art of Building Unshakable Confidence
    Dec 9 2024

    Welcome back to Convergence! In this episode, I’m diving into the art of building unshakable confidence—a topic that’s close to my heart and something I think a lot of us struggle with. Confidence might seem like something people are just born with, but the truth is, it’s a skill that is built over time.

    I’ll walk you through why confidence starts with self-awareness, how knowing who you are at your core is key, and why self-talk and small wins matter more than we often realize.

    In this episode, I’ll talk about:

    • Why real confidence starts with self-acceptance and authenticity.
    • How evidence, practice, and small wins build momentum toward greater confidence.
    • The importance of self-talk and reframing negative thoughts.
    • Why it’s crucial to embrace imperfection and push through discomfort.
    • The power of surrounding yourself with people who support and lift you up.


    The best part of this episode is when I sit talk through why recording this episode felt so uncomfortable and clunky, and you get to experience my growth in real time.


    This episode is a reminder that confidence is built one step at a time, and that real growth happens when we keep going, even when it’s hard.

  • Episode 1: The Art of Being a Beginner
    Dec 1 2024

    Welcome to the very first episode of Convergence: The Art of Being Everything! I'm Alex, and I’m thrilled to finally launch this podcast after three years of thinking about it. The journey of those years—from wondering what I should talk about to actually hitting record—is a big part of what this podcast is all about.


    In this first episode, I share my story and I’ll dive into how I used to struggle with the idea that I had to pick just one thing and how I now believe that true growth comes from allowing all of who you are to converge—your interests, your passions, your personality. No more “narrowing down” or pretending parts of you don’t belong. The journey to embracing your full self is messy, but it’s worth it.


    I also talk about the mission of this podcast: to break free from limiting mindsets and explore self-development in a practical, actionable way. Each episode will feature insights on topics like gratitude, visualization, and personal growth, often pulled from books and real-life experiences. The goal is to make self-improvement less theoretical and more tangible, so you can start making real changes today.


    This is a work-in-progress podcast and I’m excited to take you along for the ride. I’m ready to experiment, learn, and share everything that’s been helping me integrate all the best parts of myself into a life that feels whole. If you’ve ever felt like you had to choose between your different interests or personalities, this is the podcast for you.


    Thanks so much for tuning in, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us. Let’s explore how we can let all the best parts of us converge!
