    “Unconvention” with Sri Kaza (GWTW830)
    2025/07/04
    When you are running a business—no matter how small or large—it's easy to forget why you are doing it. You look around at what everyone else is doing and question your own success. You read the latest business book about systems and processes of giant corporations and wonder why they didn't work in your small business. So, what are we to do? Today's guest has some fresh ideas for us to consider. Sri Kaza is a seasoned business leader and small business advocate with a background in corporate strategy and entrepreneurship. He fell in love with small business and the potential they have when focused on purpose, proximity, and positioning. In our conversation, we talk about his underdog principles, the differences between scale and personal economies, apprenticeship, and the evolution of the creative industry. He also shares about his upcoming book, Unconvention: A Small Business Strategy Guide.

  • Influence Your Imagination (GWTW829)

    Influence Your Imagination (GWTW829)
    2025/07/02
    I wasn't sure what today's episode was going to be about until I heard something in an episode of Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix. While visiting Sarma, a Middle Eastern restaurant in Somerville, Massachusetts, Phil and his guest mentioned that the chef travels all over the world, eats delicious food, and brings those flavors back to the menu. That got me thinking: What would be the equivalent of doing this for podcasters, filmmakers, writers, and other types of artists? Sure, we have the Internet at our fingertips and can go anywhere with a tap and swipe, but what are we missing when we only do that? When we don't get away from our workspaces, offices, and task lists? When our analog senses dull from constant connection to a digital realm? We are missing a lot and in today's episode, I'm going to share a few ways to step away and influence your imagination.

  • “A Life of Awe & Wonder” with Lee C. Camp (GWTW828)

    “A Life of Awe & Wonder” with Lee C. Camp (GWTW828)
    2025/06/27
    How curious are you about asking and reflecting upon the deep questions of life? You know, massive questions like, "How do you think about a life worth living?" or "What kind of people are we becoming as individuals and as a community by employing any given technology?" Today's guest on Getting Work To Work is no stranger to asking these questions of himself, his guests on his podcast, and the students in his classroom. Lee C. Camp is a theologian, professor and host of the acclaimed No Small Endeavor podcast. In our conversation, we dive into the origin of why he takes the big questions seriously. We touch on technology and science, discipline and willpower, being present in the moment, and healthy rhythms of life. Lee also shares how podcasting has shaped his work as an academic, how he creates space in conversations, and what he's learned about life chasing cumulus clouds in the cockpit of a sailplane.

  • Thoughts of Time & Trash (GWTW827)

    Thoughts of Time & Trash (GWTW827)
    2025/06/26
    Every night before I go to bed, I grab my journal and spend a few minutes writing about the day. Some days there's a lot to say, while others recount what I wasn't able to get done. Lately, I've noticed a trend. I list four or more things I got done and then follow up with a dismissive statement, "I just wasn't productive." If you compare the ambition of my task list with what was actually accomplished, then yes, something is off. But it's not a lack of productivity, it's over-scheduling my day. Sure, I could dive into why I do this, but a more interesting question is this: How much of my day is filled with trash?

    “Sustainable Ambition” with Kathy Oneto (GWTW826)
    2025/06/21
    How would you define your level of ambition? Are you pushing yourself to change the world or maybe you're on the other side of failure wondering if you'll ever be ambitious again? Today's guest is on Getting Work To Work to talk about a new way to approach our goals, not just in work, but in life. It's called Sustainable Ambition®. Kathy Oneto is a coach, author, and podcaster whose mission "is to help people craft a life with work for more joy, fulfillment, peace, and ease." Definitely sounds like something most of us need. In this conversation we talk about several of the principles in her new book, Sustainable Ambition: How to Prioritize What Matters to Thrive in Life and Work: Growing into ourselves and our values, worthy work, life-work sustainability, burnout, and four anchors for redefining success.

  • The Infinite Workday?!?! (GWTW825)

    The Infinite Workday?!?! (GWTW825)
    2025/06/18
    Not much in the world of work shocks me anymore, but this headline on LinkedIn got me: "The rise of the 'infinite workday.'" Naturally, I clicked the juicy headline. I had to find out which level of hell this monstrosity came from and what we can do about it. The "reactions" are to an article on Axios (two letters shy of Anxious) by Emily Beck titled Remote work has created an infinite workday. Covering a report from Microsoft, Beck describes a world of work without boundaries, the allure of flexibility, work spanning multiple time zones, pings, dings, distractions—and since it's Microsoft—the savior of the day? AI. While I'm curious how I can avoid an infinite workday in my own business, I have to ask, what did we expect from a business world driven by profit alone?

    “Change is the Only Constant” with Tim Packer (GWTW824)
    2025/06/13
    The starving artist mentality is alive and well in 2025 as artists are told they'll never make a living from their work. But today's guest is living proof that's a lie. Tim Packer is a former police officer turned celebrated Canadian artist and teacher, who walked away from the badge, cashed in his pension and went all-in on his creative dream. Tim is a natural storyteller and unfolds his entire creative journey for us in this episode. He shares the decisions that led him to becoming a police officer, the tragedy that turned his life toward art, the conversations he had with his wife at inflection points throughout his career, and many other lessons we can all learn from as we build our creative businesses.

    “Technological Resistance Fighter” (GWTW823)
    2025/06/11
    Have you ever gotten an email from a faceless global corporation and marveled at how it uses words to its advantage? I'm not talking about the legalese in Terms & Conditions or Privacy Policies—we're all going to click Yes anyway—but the emails justifying prices increases. I can't even imagine how much money is spent on lawyers and marketers drafting the obligatory price increase email, but that's besides the point. Today, I'm going on a rant inspired by the faceless global corporations and the forced adoption of AI and other technologies that drive up the cost of doing business. But after the rant, I take an all-too-brief detour through some social criticism courtesy of Neil Postman, who also provided the amazing title for today's episode in his book, Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology.
