Every other Thursday, we talk to people who got UNBLOCKED. You'll hear stories about finding clarity, career paths, career pivots and living with intention. Our guests tell us how they realized something had to change, made bold moves, and built lives that feel more aligned, more alive, and more intentional. We’ll share some of our own stories, too, because we’re right here, figuring it out like everyone else.

In our very first guest episode of the UNBLOCK Yourself Podcast, we sit down with Bob Mathers. He is a keynote speaker, customer success coach, podcast host, and (self-proclaimed) part-time rock god.

Bob knows firsthand what it feels like to be blocked. He spent years living on autopilot, chasing success, and still feeling disconnected from what actually mattered.

It took a series of wake-up calls, from personal loss to getting sober to a terrifying health scare with his son, to shake him into living intentionally.

In this conversation, Bob shares:

• How "success" can sometimes hide deep disconnection
• The truth about sobriety, the good, the hard, and the surprising
• Why creativity and curiosity are critical tools for living with purpose
• How a personal crisis can become a catalyst for transformation
• One piece of advice we have not been able to stop thinking about

This is a real and raw conversation about what it takes to stop letting life happen to you and start living with intention, creativity, and heart.

If this conversation resonates, we'd love it if you'd subscribe, share with a friend, or leave a review to help more people get UNBLOCKED and start living and working with intention.

In this episode of the UNBLOCK Yourself Podcast, we continue sharing the stories behind your hosts, Greg and Whitney.

Today, Greg shares his journey — from building a life that looked perfect on the outside, to navigating unimaginable loss, and ultimately stepping fully into a life of intention and purpose.

Through the highs of career success and the depths of personal tragedy, Greg found himself faced with a choice: stay in survival mode, or intentionally create a new chapter.

This conversation is about resilience, realignment, and choosing to live fully — not just when life forces your hand, but because you decide to.

In this conversation, Greg shares:

• Growing up with strong family roots and high expectations
• Building a career and family on autopilot without questioning the cost
• Navigating the loss of his wife during the COVID-19 pandemic
• Learning how to rebuild life with intention, clarity, and heart
• Why you do not have to wait for tragedy to live the life you want

Greg’s story is at the heart of why we’re doing this work today.

We are so grateful you are here.

Welcome to the very first episode of the UNBLOCK Yourself Podcast.

We are kicking things off by sharing a little more about who we are, where we have been, and why we care so much about helping people live and work with more intention.

In this episode, Greg interviews Whitney about her journey — growing up with a lot of change and challenge, building a career as a young single mom, and spending years chasing success.

We talk about survival mode, work, identity, and the hard (but good) decision to stop living on autopilot and start making choices that feel real and meaningful.

We believe you can get UNBLOCKED. We believe you can create a life and career that actually feels like yours.

And it starts by getting honest about where you are, and what you really want.

In this conversation, Whitney shares:

• Growing up fast and learning to survive
• Building a career without a real sense of "why"
• The cost of being valued for the wrong things
• What it takes to step out of autopilot and into something real

This is Whitney's story. Thanks for being here for it.
