148: Vision Plus Emotion Equals Creation with Steve Gamlin

by | Dec 28, 2023 |

In this episode, meet Steve Gamlin, a man who blew up his life at age 35, then rose from the ashes to become a force for motivation and personal growth.

Remember Lieutenant Dan from the movie Forrest Gump, shouting at God in the storm? Have you ever been so upset with your life you feel like giving up?

Steve did, and you’ll hear about his golfing in a lightning storm moment to prove it.

There is one reason I had to have him on the podcast. Steve has become a master of VISION. Vision boards, in particular… and without vision, you perish.

Drawing from a decade in the radio industry, 7 years of stand-up comedy and a 30+ year personal development journey, Steve teaches us to ‘SEE’ our desired outcomes, understand our ‘WHY’…then build Action Plans to achieve them.

So press play and let’s chat… your future depends on it.

In this episode, meet the VP of Engineering at Freeosk, Megan Ford.

Now a female engineering executive, her career path was a winding road and ups, downs and lots of challenges. But she held on to a core belief that you must keep an open mind, ask lots of questions, and be willing to make decisions.

Megan shares how self doubt can be really loud when facing a big transition, and you suddenly feel like you have to learn everything all over again. You might also be surprised to hear that Megan, a top performer, was let go.

That was something she never expected to face in her career. But it happens and it is 1000% ok.

We dig into the reality of career building: Not every job, role, boss, is going to be a good fit. Reflect and move on.

And if you’re a woman in engineering, this conversation will be doubly encouraging.

Megan loves the outdoors as everything is better outside, and coffee, because everything is better with coffee also.

So press play and let’s chat… the path for your career growth begins now!
