| How to Find Hidden Opportunities Inside the Organization You Are Already In | 14 oct. 2026 | 00:06:53 | |
Laura liked her company. She just had no idea what to do next inside it. The posted internal roles were not what she wanted, and she could not find what she was looking for by browsing a job board. So she did something most people never think to try. She identified a problem the company had not solved yet, built a case for a role around fixing it, and proposed a job that did not exist. They said yes and four years later she did it again. If you have been assuming you need to leave to find work that fits, this episode will make you reconsider. What You'll Learn:

| The Volume Game: Why Casting a Wide Net in Your Job Search Produces Significantly Worse Results in 2026 | 07 oct. 2026 | 00:10:50 | |
Stephanie was at application 91 with her work visa ticking down in London after a layoff. So she did what most people do when a job search starts to feel like a race against the clock — she applied to absolutely everything. She sent 54 more applications before something specific shifted in how she was approaching the search. Eight days after that shift, she had two offers. The real question is what changed between application 91 and application 145, and why applying to more jobs was the thing making her search worse. What You'll Learn:

What if the three words you use to introduce yourself at every networking event, every family gathering, every first conversation — "I am a" — are the very thing keeping you trapped in a career that no longer fits? Karen spent 30 years building an impressive career in higher education. She was wildly successful by every external measure. And she was completely burning out in ways she could not name until life forced her to stop and rethink everything she thought she knew about what career success was supposed to look like.

| How to Find High-Paying Remote Work Without Job Boards | 28 sept. 2026 | 00:06:41 | |
The best remote roles, the ones with real compensation, real flexibility, and real ownership, were never posted on a job board. They are being filled right now through relationships and conversations that started long before any job description existed. If you have been applying to remote jobs consistently and getting nowhere, the problem is not your resume or your experience or the market. It is the assumption that the remote job search works the same way every other job search does. This episode is about what actually works instead. What You'll Learn:

Holly Dixon spent 20 years in the legal field, never once argued a case, and walked away without a single job lined up. She is still happening to her career and figuring out what comes next. Most career change episodes on this show share a complete story from start to finish. This one does not. This episode is the messy middle — the experiments that did not work, the grief nobody warned her about, the identity crisis that came from letting go of 20 years of who she thought she was, and what she has learned about living in uncertainty on purpose while still moving forward.

She was dealing with depression, a toxic workplace, a failing relationship, and a job that had stopped feeling like her, all at the same time.

| The Quiet Kind of Career Burnout: Three Forces Driving Disconnection at Work (And What to Do About Them) | 10 sept. 2026 | 00:08:46 | |
For most high performers, it looks like showing up on time, delivering results, and holding everything together, while feeling nothing about any of it. New research shows 83% of corporate professionals are experiencing burnout right now, with women in senior leadership burning out at nearly double the rate of men. But the version driving those numbers is one most people have never learned to recognize, because from the outside, it looks like a perfectly stable career. In this episode, we'll break down what career burnout actually looks like for high performers in 2026, the three forces quietly driving disconnection at work, and why the single most important thing you can do before making any career move is correctly name what you are actually dealing with. Because the version that keeps most people stuck is the quiet kind. The kind that survives by staying unnamed. What You'll Learn:

Scott had a great leadership team, great clients, great culture, and great brands. He also had burnout so deep it was following him home to the dinner table. The hardest part was that there was nobody to blame and nothing obvious to point to. When the usual culprits are missing, most people do nothing. Scott did something else entirely and went from a 20-year advertising career to owning a franchise he loves in less time than he ever thought possible. What You'll Learn:

| The Layoff Playbook: Four Steps to Take Before You Touch Your Resume | 04 sept. 2026 | 00:06:51 | |
Getting laid off feels like a crisis. That feeling is exactly what makes the next few moves so costly. Most professionals respond the same way after a layoff in 2026 — they treat it like a fire to put out as fast as possible, start applying everywhere, and take the first thing that comes back. They end up in a slightly different version of the same situation wondering how they got there again. We've worked with thousands of professionals through layoffs and career transitions. What we've seen consistently is that the first 48 hours after a layoff determine whether the layoff becomes a career emergency or career leverage. What You'll Learn:

Two identical candidates walk into the same interview with the same resume. One gets the job. The other doesn't. It has nothing to do with how well they prepared or what they know. It has everything to do with how well they leveraged human psychology.

| The Job Search Mindset Shift That Changes Everything About Where You Land | 27 août 2026 | 00:06:51 | |
Amelia spent eight years as a media communications director before a layoff sent her straight into panic-applying for whatever came up. Natalie knew networking was her next move and then sat frozen for two months because it felt transactional. Laura had the numbers: referrals converted to interviews at eight times the rate of cold applications, and one of those referrals is now her boss. The split between a job search that lands a job and one that lands a career you love isn't luck, connections, or the resume, but the mindset behind it. What You'll Learn:

One woman spent seven years in a role that everyone told her she should be grateful for while she was slowly falling apart inside it. Another quit fast, convinced that leaving the job would fix everything, and then spent the next two years finding out why it didn't. Neither outcome was what either of them expected. And what finally worked for both of them isn't what you would guess either. If you've been asking yourself whether you should quit your job, this episode is going to change the question entirely.

| How to Find Meaningful Work That Aligns in 2026: How Adaptive Leadership & Signature Strengths Build Lasting Career Alignment | 13 août 2026 | 00:07:00 | |
There are two things that people consistently find most meaningful in their work and they have almost nothing to do with the job title, the industry, or how much the work pays. The first is adaptive leadership: the ability to guide others through change they didn't choose and can't fully control. The second is work that is who you are, not work that feels good, but work that is built around the things you can't stop doing, the way you naturally think, and what you bring to a problem that nobody else taught you. This episode is about why both of these things matter more right now than they ever have and how to start building them before the market forces the question. What You'll Learn:

Sam Wright runs the data side at Huntr, and he's analyzed over 1.7 million job applications, more than 240,000 resumes, and over a million job postings to find out which resume rules actually get people hired, and which ones are just guesses everyone kept repeating. The results are surprising. Two-page resumes outperform one-page resumes across the board. Resume tailoring is 2X more effective at driving interviews. Referrals convert at a massively higher rate than cold applications. And most of what you've been told about the ATS is a myth. Scott and Sam break down the resume myths costing you interviews, the tailoring strategy that actually works, why your target job title matters more than your resume format, and the data-backed job search moves that separate the top 10% of applicants from everyone else.

Here's what the data doesn't tell you, and what actually determines how long your career change will take. What You'll Learn:

| How to Explain Being Fired in a Job Interview: The Answer to "Why Did You Leave Your Last Job" That Turns a Deal-Breaker Into a Job Offer | 09 juil. 2026 | 00:05:45 | |
Most people who've been fired walk into their next interview dreading one question above all others: "So why did you leave your last position?" I've been on both sides of that question. As a former HR leader, where I've fired hundreds of people, and also as an employee who was fired during my career. I even made the mistake of telling interviewers I was laid off instead and it almost cost me everything. In this episode, we break down exactly how to answer the fired question honestly, without setting off alarm bells or tanking your chances. We'll cover the specific language to use, the psychology behind why it works, a simple three-part story framework that turns a potential disaster into a demonstration of self-awareness, and when to bring in expert help before it costs you an offer. If you've been fired and have interviews coming up, this episode is the prep you actually need.

| Career Change After a Toxic Job: How to Rebuild Your Confidence Before You Job Search | 06 juil. 2026 | 00:20:01 | |
Leaving a toxic workplace should feel like relief, but for most high performers, it doesn't. It leaves behind a residue of self-doubt, distorted confidence, and a voice in your head that sounds exactly like the environment you just escaped, and if you don't address it before your next job search, it follows you into every interview, every conversation, and every opportunity that matters.

| How One Conversation Can Change Your Career (Even When You Don't Know What You Want) | 02 juil. 2026 | 00:14:41 | |
Every year, millions of professionals send out hundreds of applications, get almost nowhere, and decide the problem is their resume. It's not. Referrals make up just 7% of applicants but account for 40% of hires, and the gap between those two numbers comes down to one thing: conversations. In this episode, two professionals who had no plan, no clear direction, and no obvious path forward used test drive conversations to find meaningful work and career change success when nothing else was moving.

| 5 Myths About Career Change After 50 That Are Costing You Years | 29 juin 2026 | 00:15:19 | |
Scott Ingham spent 18 years in pharmaceutical sales before deciding to make a career change after 50. When he told people, the response was almost uniform: "You're crazy." That pushback wasn't useful advice. It was projection of other people's fears dressed up as concern. It's also one of five beliefs that keep professionals over 50 stuck in roles they've already outgrown. According to data, 85% of employers now hire based on skills, not credentials. 53% have dropped degree requirements entirely. The average new hire today is 42 years old. And 80% of career changers report they're glad they made the move with the most common regret being how long they waited. If one of these five beliefs has been running quietly in the background of a decision you haven't made yet, this episode is worth your time.

Hayley Lowe had a textbook career pivot from her communications degree and agency life to a senior leadership role at a company like Expedia. Everything was going according to plan until burnout, infertility, a pandemic, and one very wrong Fortune 500 job forced her to rebuild from scratch. What she found on the other side wasn't a posted role. It was one she designed herself. In this episode, Hayley shares what it took to trust her gut sooner, how she negotiated a role that didn't exist yet, and what work finally feels like when it's built around who you actually are.

| How to Return to Work After Burnout and a Career Break: Identify Your Transferable Skills and Negotiate Flexible Part-Time Work | 25 juin 2026 | 00:13:08 | |
If you've taken time away from your career and you're wondering how to come back without explaining the gap or apologizing for your time off, this episode is for you. Caroline spent 17 years at one of the Big Four firms before hitting full-on burnout. After years of being passed over for promotions and navigating a system that forced competition over collaboration, she woke up one day and thought, "I can't do this anymore." She resigned. Took two years away. Moved countries. Completely reset her life. Then she had to figure out how to come back. This wasn't a standard return-to-work story. Caroline used a strengths assessment to identify her transferable value, named exactly what she wanted instead of apologizing for the gap, turned down the first offer that didn't fit, and ended up with a role at a mid-size entrepreneurial company working three days a week, 24 hours split across her schedule. This episode unpacks how to return to work after burnout and a career break, why your transferable skills matter more than your job titles, and how Caroline negotiated her way into flexible part-time work that fit both her home life and her work life.

| How to Leave Corporate and Build Your Own Business Doing Work You Actually Love (A Real Director's Mid-Career Pivot) | 23 juin 2026 | 00:21:17 | |
If your career looks successful on paper but feels off inside, you're not alone. Many mid-career professionals reach a point where the work that used to fit no longer does. Breanne Gjurich-Wozniak's story is one path forward: a portfolio career that combined her biotech expertise with her animal welfare interests. Breanne had a career that looked solid from the outside. Biotech R&D, then regulatory work submitting new technologies to the FDA. Director-level. Real success. Inside, the fit was changing. The work was drifting.She started looking at R&D and regulatory roles she was qualified for. Nothing gave her any excitement. That's when she found HTYC's free 8-day mini course and joined the Career Change Bootcamp. She built one 5-year career plan with her manager and a separate one with her career coach. The two plans were so different. The energy in each was so different. She knew it was time to leave. What followed wasn't a traditional job search. It was 20 conversations with strangers, a series of career experiments, and surprising feedback from people who'd only met her for an hour. Her coach introduced the idea of a portfolio career: multiple types of work, multiple interests, all under one umbrella. Breanne built a consulting business that combined her biotech expertise with the animal welfare work she'd always wanted to do. What you'll learn:

| Mass Applying Isn't Getting You Hired: The Targeted Job Search Strategy and Mindset Shift That Actually Will | 17 juin 2026 | 00:09:42 | |
If your job search isn't working and you're sending more applications hoping something sticks, you're not alone. Mass applying is the most common job search mistake, and the mindset shift and targeted strategy that fix it took Stephanie Drumright from silence to two offers in 8 days. Stephanie had sent 145 applications in 6 months. Five got her into interviews. None turned into an offer. She had a visa clock ticking, and her instinct was to apply to more jobs, broader roles, anything that might stick. So she changed her approach completely. She narrowed her criteria to Head of Operations or similar roles, companies under 250 people, a hybrid setup, and a specific values fit. Instead of applying like someone trying to earn her way in, she searched like someone with standards. 8 days later, she had 2 offers. This episode unpacks the job search psychology behind why mass applying fails, the cognitive load that drains your interview performance, and how the shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset turns a targeted job search into real interviews and offers.

Making the decision is the hard part. Most of us never actually do it. We deliberate, analyze, talk ourselves in and out of it, and at the last possible second we cave and pick the safest option on the menu. Then we wonder why nothing's changing. In Day 7 of the What Fits You 8-Day Mini Course, we're addressing the actual move you've been avoiding for the last six days. By the end, you'll know how to make a decision that opens momentum, not one that creates more pressure to be perfect. You don't have to decide the rest of your life.

| (6 of 8) Wrong-Fit Opportunities: The 3-Step Framework That Reveals the Right Career for You | What Fits You | 13 juin 2026 | 00:08:31 | |
Most career professionals stay stuck not because they don't have options, but because they're evaluating them against the wrong thing. They compare role to role, company to company, path to path. And because none of the options is obviously better than the others, they keep circling without ever moving. The problem isn't the options. It's the comparison point. In Day 6 of the What Fits You 8-Day Mini Course, you'll use everything you've built across Days 1-5 as the only criteria that actually matters. By the end of today, you'll have a clear shortlist of three opportunities that actually fit you, and a much smaller list of the ones you can stop pursuing. You don't evaluate a career opportunity against other career opportunities. You evaluate it against what you know about yourself. What you'll learn:

There's a voice in your head that's been running for twenty-plus years, and it's been deciding what's possible for you before you've had a chance to consider it. "That's not realistic." "That seems unreasonable." "Someone like me doesn't do that." Most high performers have never noticed the filter is even there. They've just lived inside its conclusions. In Day 5 of the What Fits You 8-Day Mini Course, we name the filter, get around it, and walk you through the one exercise that's surfaced more achievable career possibilities than any self-assessment tool we've used. After almost 100,000 people through this course, here's what we know: the things you keep dismissing as "wildly unrealistic" are almost never unrealistic. They're just unfamiliar. What you'll learn:

Not because they didn't care about their life outside work, but because their career had its own momentum. Each next step made sense. Each promotion was a logical move. And somewhere along the way, the career started making the life decisions instead of the other way around.

Most people don't draw a blank, they tell you everything they don't want with precision and freeze the moment the question gets flipped forward. That's not because the answer doesn't exist.

Not because reflection doesn't work, but because directionless reflection won't get you to the forward question.

The thing that's exceptional about you is probably the thing you've stopped noticing. After enough years of high performance, the things you do better than almost anyone get filed away as "obvious" or "easy" or "everyone can do that." Even when they're genuinely rare. That's the Signature Strengths problem most high performers walk into a career change with. They're great at things they don't even count as strengths, and they can't tell you what they're truly built for because they've never named it. In Day 1 of the What Fits You 8-Day Mini Course, you'll start separating what you're great at from what you actually want to keep doing. Because being excellent at something isn't the same as it being a fit, and the gap between those two is where most career changes go wrong. What you'll learn:

They can name what they don't want with precision but freeze when asked what they actually do want. That gap is what this course was built to close. Over the next eight days, you'll walk through the same process Scott built from scratch after his own career fell apart. The same process that's now taken nearly 100,000 people from "I know something's off" to "I know what fits me."

| The $300,000 Trap: What It Really Costs to Stay in a Career That No Longer Fits (Identity Loss) | Executive Series Part 3 | 05 juin 2026 | 00:18:33 | |
Most executives never run the math on what it really costs to stay in a career that no longer fits. They calculate what leaving would cost them, the income, the title, the security they've spent fifteen or twenty years building, but they almost never run the numbers on what staying is already taking from them. In Part 3 of our Executive Career Change series, you'll see what the math actually looks like, including the four real costs of staying that compound year after year, the data on what really happens to income after a structured executive career change, and the three questions that surface the truth for almost every executive we've worked with. The salary you've been protecting becomes something you've been paying for. And once you see what staying actually costs you, the math of leaving looks completely different. What you'll learn:

Most executives know something is wrong years before they do anything about it.

Drained, distracted, and quietly miserable for 40 to 60 hours a week.

| What Executive Career Change Actually Looks Like at $200K–$500K: Beyond Draining and Unfulfilling Work | Executive Series Part 1 | 03 juin 2026 | 00:14:56 | |
If you're earning between $200K and $500K and quietly wondering why every career change strategy you've tried hasn't worked, the answer probably isn't more effort. It's that almost none of the advice you've been given was built for executives at your level. The trap is different. The math is different. The way out is different.
