Delighting in the Details with Adam Bleibtreu

What happens when 3 marketers record a podcast? In this episode recorded in August, we sit down with Google leader Steph Reddish Hoffman to discuss our mutual attraction to breadth of experience vs depth, the challenge of delegation when you lead, and not adding “too much value”.  And we ask the age-old question: Is all feedback a gift?  Steph also generously shares her experience working alongside grief and loss, when to take it off the shelf, and why we cried during the Barbie movie.

It’s every entrepreneur’s wildest dream, but how do you adapt when your product becomes massively successful, practically overnight? This week, Julie and Merrell sit down with Disney alum Brandon Reed to learn how his podcast 12 HOUR SOUND MACHINES surpassed 1 million weekly listeners, while the rest of us were sleeping.

Plus: Proven networking tactics to transform you from an intern to an executive, along with Brandon’s next-level productivity hacks to help your team work faster and get more things done.

Julie and Merrell return to The Changing Times, and times really have changed. In this mini-episode, we explain why Leadership and Creativity is the perfect theme for Season 3, we learn about Julie’s new leadership role as President of the Wunderlin company, and we reflect on the passing of Karen Wunderlin, grateful for everything we’ve shared, including her all-time favorite, Brene Brown.

Plus: Julie and Merrell return to their storytelling roots to get extra creative this season.

As we wrap up Season 2 of The Changing Times Podcast, we couldn't think of anybody better to do it with than our dear friend George Anderson. A self-proclaimed Podcast King, George beautifully takes us through his time at GE and Synchrony Financial, to sum up the power of investing in your relationships with colleagues, self-awareness, and continuous learning.

Plus: Karen and Merrell go outside, Julie loses her voice, and all 3 eat their own cooking from the past season.

Paul Robinson translated his 20+ years of experience as a Papa Johns franchisee into being the award-winning President and CEO of Louisville-based non-profit, Home of the Innocents. Paul beautifully demonstrates the power of living a purposeful, clarity, and vision-driven life as an individual and as a leader.  We talk about his transition from a private business owner to a non-profit leader, how to build a strong work culture, and what makes the special garlic butter sauce from Papa Johns taste so delicious.

What can you learn from the Muppets? According to our guest Adam: patience, attention to detail, collaboration, and leadership. He started his career producing The Muppet Babies and went on to work at start-ups, big companies, small companies, and as an entrepreneur. He's currently the CMO of the staffing agencies ASGN and Creative Circle, and generously gave us his time to discuss change, challenges, and what he's learned from his 25 years working in marketing and branding.

Coach, speaker, and author Dave Mochel visits The Changing Times Podcast to discuss his book Good Life Practice. We talk about being the main character in your story, the benefits of cold showers (or cold water in general), human connection, and Dave's journey into coaching and writing the book.
