  • We all have an “AND”

    What I love about John’s podcasts is that they give us space to share our “and,” which may be part of our “why.” I love hearing what else drives people, what they enjoy, and what they're passionate about. I like to think of these as “the what else is possible” in our lives. Listen in! I’m sure you’ll find a favorite and maybe even be inspired to be a guest on the podcast!

  • Come as we are!

    ALL of us have an “and” and so many of us in our professional lives don’t even bring our “and” up! I love the conversations John has with his guests and I hope they give everyone the courage and inspiration to let their “and” shine in all aspects of their lives! Thank you John!

  • What You Do For The Profession

    John’s contribution to our profession can’t be overstated. I completely refute the idea that our work defines us. From the partners at my firm giving me crap when I talked about my passions outside of work to the entire tax industry acting like 60+ hours of work a week during tax season is normal, I have known that I needed to change my work environment. I truly believe that pursuing our passions and scratching our creative itches bring lasting happiness. I love this podcast.

  • A unique, insightful and impactful podcast!

    This podcast is such a find! John Garrett’s interviews of his guests to dig into the unique passions we have as individuals is so entertaining and thought-provoking all at the same time. I had as many light bulb moments as I did laughs as I listened to the show. John’s “What’s Your &” perspective is a big contribution to valuing all of who we are so we can show up as our best and most vibrant selves - at work, at home and in our communities.
