In this episode, I sit down with Daryl Potter to explore his remarkable journey—from short-order cook to longtime banking leader to writer and caregiver. We discuss the tension between creative passion and financial stability, the power of living in the present, and how personal challenges, including raising a daughter with a degenerative condition, shaped Daryl’s view on leadership, empathy, and accountability. The conversation is a candid reflection on resilience, relationships, and what it means to live—and lead—with purpose.

Former colleague, Jim Boyd, Founder of Cirrus Group Consulting, joined me to talk about career paths and midlife career changes. It's fitting since Jim made a career change of his own just a couple years shy of his fiftieth birthday.  In 2019, he started his own Data/AI Consulting firm.   One year later the pandemic hit.   And in 2024, he and his family packed their bags and moved from the US to Australia! Today Jim runs US-based, Cirrus, from down under.   During his career, Jim has helped thousands of people naviagte their careers.   He understands the challenges associated with making the decision to persue a new path. We talked about cultural fit, job interviews, the importance of networking, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.  But perhaps the most important piece of advice had to do with being genuine and true to oneself.
