Joseph "Trey" Meeks

Joseph "Trey" Meeks, parent, leader, and occasional consultant, brings the four Stoic virtues (courage, wisdom, temperance, justice) to life through stories of parenting, career setbacks, and working with difficult leaders. We journey from Austria back to the States, dig into managing ego and anger, having tough conversations, redefining success, and finding peace amid uncertainty. Trey shares inspiring stories, hard-earned wisdom, and refreshingly practical tips for how to live your values and lead at any stage of your career. If you've ever led a team, navigated a difficult boss, or need an anchor in uncertain times, this one's for you.

Daniel S. Elmlinger

Daniel S. Elmlinger, servant leader, discusses loss, grief, and forgiveness. We talk about the science and soul of grief, growth after loss, and how to carry the departed forward with us. We took a trip down a winding road from Kentucky, to the pandemic, to an out-of-body experience, a life-changing diagnosis, to the drive-thru at McDonald’s (for a Coke, of course), to Seattle, service-over-self, to law school, radical acceptance, to jail ministry, to the story of Frankenstein, and the transformative power of forgiving ourselves and others. If you're grieving or on a journey to forgiving yourself or others, this one's for you.

Ari J. Lester

Ari J. Lester, attorney and founder, talks about the messy middle of her career pivot from the perfect-on-paper job and lake-view office to her journey of self-discovery, values alignment, and social entrepreneurship. We talk about the hard work of self-actualization, AI and the future of work, the power of the human brain, gratitude, mortality, and gaining clarity through career moves. If you're dead inside, mid-pivot, or mid-sentence on "I'm fine," this one's for you.
