What better guest to kick it off the 3rd season of the podcast than with Jimmy Diresta, host of the hit Netflix series, “Making Fun”, and YouTube sensation.
Jimmy is an artist, TV personality, video producer, and educator that describes his life-long passion as being a “maker”.
Inspired by the works of Warhol, Picasso, Steven Tyler and Mariah Carey (to name a few), Jimmy always knew that a maker is what he was born to be. In this Season 3 premier episode, Jimmy takes us on his journey of where he began, where he plans to go, and how the unforeseen and unknown are the perfect places to find your inspiration..
Listen in to this week’s episode to learn more on how Jimmy earned his well deserved title, “The Godfather of Makers.”

Have you ever felt like you needed more? More money, more prestige, more status, and more accomplishment? In this week’s podcast episode Tara McMullin, the author of What Works: A Comprehensive Framework to Change the Way We Approach Goal-Setting, helps us peek behind the curtain. Listen in as she unpacks the programming creating this lack of satisfaction and gives us important clues about how to de-program ourselves. Tara will help us focus on being in process with ourselves instead of seeking ever more, ever more.
Join Tara McMullin and Dr. Amanda Crowell as we discuss:
How our culture creates a need for more, more, moreHow to help our children avoid the burnout and overworking programming from the startHow to use technological tools as tools, instead of as further indications that we aren’t doing things right

In the United States, we have always lived with the history and realities of racism.
Whether we have lived with it as an active part of our life or have had the privilege to ignore it and deny it, it has shaped our understanding of our country and each other. 
Since racism has always been a loaded, hot-button, triggering topic to discuss, many leaders have flatly avoided talking about it. Since the summer of 2020, however, organizations are realizing that this issue is not going away.
Workers want organizations that are inclusive and equitable. As such, the avoidance strategy that has allowed leaders to manage this issue in the past is emerging as the biggest problem of all.
Fortunately for all of us, Gena Cox has taken the time to think deeply about how to open the door to these important conversations.
Listen in for compassionate, insightful, and practical advice to help all of us navigate conversations about creating inclusion in the workplace.
Join us as we discuss:
How the root cause of the failure of most DEI initiatives is avoidance driven by a lack of skills on the part of even the most well-meaning leadersHow respect is the opposite of grandstanding and is the foundation of our only viable path forward to create inclusive workplacesHow to have respectful relationships with your employees even when difficult conversations and decisions are needed
The Unleashing Your Great Work podcast is sponsored by the Great Work Journal! The Great Work Journal is here to answer the question “But HOW?” How can we figure out what our Great Work is?
