Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why We Started Build Your Edge
Q: What makes this show different from other podcasts?
We don't want guests who just talk about themselves or brag; we want honesty, vulnerability, and content that audience members can apply directly, plus a downloadable asset that provides a concrete recipe to implement what they learn.
Why We Started Build Your Edge
Q: So Jeremy, Build Your Edge, what exactly is it?
It's a podcast that focuses on practical, actionable growth through quality guests who share usable frameworks and mindsets, with three core principles guiding every episode: audience-first conversations, a clear topic, and leaving behind a useful takeaway for the listener to act on.
Stop Chasing Promotions
Q: How do you connect personal growth to business goals?
By ensuring opportunities are tied to company strategy (OKRs or goals) and mapping growth to impact on those objectives, not just personal advancement.
Stop Chasing Promotions
Q: What makes the simulator formula work?
Impact comes from opportunities, skills (backed by knowledge), and actions, which are demonstrated and evidenced to prove real contribution and alignment with business goals.
Stop Chasing Promotions
Q: What is a career framework?
A structured approach to growth that usually uses levels (junior to principal) and sets expectations per level, but the guest argues most are employee-centric and task-based, which misses the real driver of progression: impact.
