Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 65: Shaun Schuetz — Leadership, Relationships, and the Next Adventure
Q: So, you've seen a lot of the world. You've done a lot of really interesting work. I know you're a free agent right now. What kind of work are you moving towards?
I'm exploring leadership roles where I can shape a company's direction with a strong team, product, and culture. My goal is to join a company that has the right people and potential, with the aim of eventually leading a company in a meaningful way, not just taking a traditional role.
Episode 65: Shaun Schuetz — Leadership, Relationships, and the Next Adventure
Q: Maybe we could start off, as we both started out, I believe, our careers in retail, and I'm wondering what led you to that?
I started with customer interaction selling Christmas trees as a teenager, which taught me to engage with customers on a personal level and sparked my interest in leadership early on. This set the foundation for a long career in retail, culminating in leadership opportunities at Best Buy and beyond.
Episode 63 - Angie Bruhn
Q: How should people think about AI in their careers?
Treat AI as a tool to augment human work, learn to use it intentionally, and focus on applying it to unlock productivity and new capabilities rather than fearing it.
Episode 63 - Angie Bruhn
Q: What should people do in the first 72 hours after a layoff?
Pause, let emotions be felt, avoid knee-jerk actions driven by fear, then gradually focus on identity and next steps rather than chasing immediate job offers.
Episode 63 - Angie Bruhn
Q: Tell me, Angie, what brought you to this work?
Angie explains her transition from corporate roles into coaching, driven by observing how leadership shapes teams under pressure and a desire to help others navigate change more effectively.
