  • Work-Life Balance is Bullshit with Seth Winterhalter | Ep. 79
    Nov 6 2024

    Seth Winterhalter has some thoughts on work-life balance, leaders needing chaos to thrive, and the let down that achievers can feel once they accomplish major goals.

    An executive coach and owner of HaltingWinter Municipal Solutions, Seth seeks to help city and county managers escape burnout, set boundaries, and experience breakthroughs in work-life balance.

    He recently rebranded his podcast to focus on local government executives and content. He has started rolling out interviews with city managers, too. I encourage you all to check it out and will link to it in the show notes.

    Also in this episode, I went "off script" and put myself on the couch a little bit. It was an unplanned detour and I thought about cutting my personal elements out of the podcast -- but I think the resulting discussion may prove beneficial to some of you so I left it in.

  • SHS: Using Leverage & Real Estate to Create Wealth with Noel Bernal | Ep. 78
    Nov 3 2024

    In my first installment of my new "Side Hustle Sunday" series, I discuss the power of leveraging real estate to create wealth with Noel Bernal.

    Noel started his real estate investment journey in his early 20's before he became a public sector executive. He, along with his wife, have increased their real estate holdings over time and expanded into larger real estate transactions through syndication deals.

    We both preach the importance of city and county managers adding additional income streams to their portfolio so that they can weather separations and also maintain some control over their own destiny when it comes to working in toxic environments.

    Passive and secondary income streams give you options and prevent you from being trapped in soul crushing situations where you might feel forced to put up with abusive and unprofessional treatment by elected officials because you are fearful of not being able to put food on your family's table.

    My initial plan is to release an episode on the first Sunday of every month featuring interviews with government employees who are working on a side hustle or highlight someone outside of local government who is engaged in a side hustle that I think might inspire you to start your own journey towards securing financial independence.

    If you or someone you know has an interesting side hustle that they want to share with my audience, please reach out and contact me.

  • Jorge Garcia Methodically Prepared for First City Manager Post in Pismo Beach | Ep. 77
    Oct 30 2024

    Confident. Certain. Poised. Prepared.

    Jorge Garcia, a first-time city manager in Pismo Beach, California, embodies all of these adjectives.

    He has spent many years readying himself for this moment -- his first assignment as a chief executive officer for a municipal corporation.

    He is only one year into his tenure, but as you listen to this interview, you will come away with the impression that he's sat in "the chair" for a decade plus!

    Jorge is the next generation of public sector leadership and he models a wonderful example for those aspiring to become city managers.

    There are several really good nuggets in this conversation and in particular, his communications strategy with his elected officials designed to build trust and create confidence.

A Great Start to a Great Topic

So glad that Joe has taken the time to start this podcast... I have been following Joe Turner on LinkedIn for about 8 months now, and I constantly find myself saying... finally, someone gets me! This is exactly what this career field needs, someone to reach into the depths of despair that many of our colleagues are in and help them all see that they are not alone! Good luck, Joe! You keep producing them, I will continue to listen!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
