Chad Prevost has a chat with Michael Horn about careers and life design, specifically when it comes to the desire to change jobs and how to go about the process. It involves a lot more than vaguely tuning in to your calling, or throwing out a bunch of LinkedIn applications. It may feel daunting right now, but when you listen to Michael and consider the array of input that Job Moves has to offer, you might just come away feeling encouraged and inspired to take the next step.

Based on a popular Harvard Business School course and research conducted with over a thousand professionals, JOB MOVES is a guide to changing jobs and advancing your career. It’s NOT about hacking the job market and raking in lucrative offers. Instead, they argue that the most successful job seekers don’t just try to get hired; they consciously hire their next job so they can make progress in their career and life.

Michael B. Horn is the co-author of JOB MOVES. He strives to create a world in which all individuals can build their passions, fulfill their potential, and live a life of purpose. He is the author of several books, including the award-winning Disrupting Class, Choosing College, Blended, and From Reopen to Reinvent. He is the cofounder of and a distinguished fellow at the Clayton Christensen Institute, a non-profit think tank, and teaches at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Chad Prevost gets a chance to catch up Kristina Montague who has just released her first book, documenting a movement she started a little over ten years ago. She is one of the few founders who started an angel investing fund, which focused on women-only. In fact, it's the only one of its kind in the southeast.

A groundswell of women are discovering the power and purpose of angel investing. Women are reshaping the conversation in startup investing not only to open doors for other women and more diverse founders but also to consider a wider lens of companies solving problems that matter to women.

We celebrate it and discuss the challenges still ahead on this episode of The Humanist.

This week Chad Prevost speaks with Briana Garza. Briana left a decade of working in the healthcare industry in a job she tolerated but didn't love and shifted into food--another challenging industry in many respects, but one that aligned with her purpose and the kind of life she aspired to live.

With hard work, a splash of courage, and lots of interpersonal skills, she's making it happen through the collaborative efforts of the Chatt Taste Food Tours. We discuss how she set out to design the life she leads now.

Chad Prevost and Justin Jones-Fosu sit down to discuss issues mainly related to communicating more effectively and openly with each other, but with a special emphasis on men. This conversation is meant to open the gates toward how we can have better conversations with one another, especially how we can be better fathers, sons, brothers, mentors, and leaders.

If you only remember a few things about Justin, it’s that he loves being a dad-e and giving to educational initiatives on the continent of Africa and the country of the United States. He believes that these are more important than any accomplishments, recognition, or accolades!

He is the author of Your WHY Matters NOW, The Inclusive Mindset, and his latest book I Respectfully Disagree: How to have Difficult Conversations in a Divided World challenges the reader to focus on building bridges to people rather than barriers from them.

Justin is a former HR Professional who obtained his MBA specializing in Leadership and Organizational Change and undertook further graduate studies in Human Resource Development. He has also gained valuable leadership experience with three Fortune 500 companies as well as by consulting on strategy, leadership, diversity/inclusion and organizational development. Justin was named as one of EBONY Magazines “30 Young Leaders on the Rise.”

Carter Fowler and Chad Prevost connect on how they found a home in Chattanooga, and especially how Fowler discovered unbelievable success with Totem.

They may be just QA testing right now, but sales have exploded--and all from a single viral video.

Totem has found a need the world over--a hardware device meant to be worn when you're going to big social events where you need to stay connected--and sometimes your devices don't work well at these huge events.

He also discusses his meditation and healing practices, and how he's dealt with the early success of Totem.
