   Your Story Is Getting In Your Way. AI Can Help. | Rishan Mohamed

   On his fourth time surfing, no instructor, Galapagos, first solo wave he'd ever caught, Rishan Mohamed was bitten by a shark. He was back in the ocean a month later. That tells you almost everything you need to know about how he operates. Rishan is the founder of HiringCoach.ai, a former Googler, and a one-time intern for both Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsom , a career path that makes more sense by the end of this conversation than it does right now. After a decade building his first company (a "few months" project that got slightly out of hand), he turned his attention to the problem he kept watching people fail at: not the job search itself, but the story they tell in it. We get into what actually breaks down when mission-driven workers hit the private sector job market, why AI doesn't replace your story (it finds the version of it that lands), and what a 10-day silent meditation retreat has to do with getting bitten by a shark in the Galapagos. WMMC listeners get special access at hiringcoach.ai/wmmc. Subscribe to Who Moved My Career?! on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Leave a review if this one made you laugh and think.

   Meet Corporate America's Mr. Rogers | Timm Chiusano

   They call Timm Chiusano "Corporate America's Mr. Rogers," and once you hear him talk, you understand exactly why. Chiusano built a real executive career. Five years in live sports production, seven years at ESPN, then a 240-person team producing small business commercials at scale for Time Warner Cable and Charter Communications. He was good at it. He liked it. He still spent two years planning a way out, because the thing he actually wanted was to pick his daughter up from school. That choice became a body of TikTok and Instagram content telling burned-out professionals to stop stressing about the things they think matter most: the nine-box, the reorg, the promotion that isn't coming. Millions have watched him talk them down from a bad Sunday. Few know the calm came from an executive who walked away from a real title and a real paycheck, no severance, because presence was worth more than the next promotion. This conversation covers the two-year exit plan nobody saw coming, the emotional intelligence school he's building to make executive coaching accessible to everyone, and his new book, "How to Get Addicted to Appreciation: The Power of Finding Wonder in the Everyday," out this fall. For anyone weighing a career transition, or the senior executive quietly wondering what reinvention could actually look like, this is one of the more human conversations we've had this season. Follow Who Moved My Career?! on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and leave a review if this one lands.

I Can, I Will, I Did: Samina Bari on Resilience and Reinvention

Published 28 May 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And, you know, there are a lot of platitudes used. There are a lot of condolences and thoughts and prayers and flowers. But what is really needed is an understanding of what the person going through that type of a grief, the loss of a spouse, is very, very different. And it's sorely lacking. So one of the things that I've undertaken is writing a handbook. on how to show up for someone who's lost their beloved spouse or partner. And it's not a book that are like other books written by psychologists or grief therapists or academicians or religious figures. It's not full of statistics. It's full of very succinct, practical advice and kind of like, you know, what are we going through and what can you do to help? […]
