Lemme 'splain podcast: for when there is too much to sum up

What happens when you follow the career plan only to discover maybe you don’t want the career or the plan?
Today we’re talking with Al Dea, author, speaker, facilitator, and founder of the Edge of Work podcast -- after following the approved path, Al decided to strike out and explore on his own.

In this conversation, we discuss:

➔ taking the surgical path in your career

➔ being willing to check in on yourself

➔ the importance of work experiments

➔ why what you spend time on outside of work is important

➔ accelerators to move your career forward

Nikki Cully, LMFT | Mental Health & the Jedi Order
What happens when you make a remark on Instagram one day about how the Jedi Order doesn’t seem to foster positive mental health choices and your friend that’s a therapist agrees and it becomes a rather long thread?
You do a podcast about it.
I’m not even gonna lie - this went off the rails.

In this conversation, we discuss:

➔ The importance of connection to community

➔ Why institutionally enforced therapy is generally an erroneous approach

➔ We have so many issues with the Mandalorian masks

➔ Nikki watched the prequels again because she’s more tolerant than me

➔ Maybe magical space powers aren’t all they’re cracked up to be

➔ Was Anakin Skywalker an incel?

➔ Yes, Padme was a cougar, but we both lived in LA, and we’ve seen weirder.

➔ The Jedi Order needs a better HR department
