On The Path Podcast

Debrief: Clint Kofford

In this episode, Chris and Colin reflect on their conversation with seasoned talent executive, coach, and author Clint Kofford. They unpack his ideas on legacy, whole-life leadership, and daily practice, exploring how those themes show up in their own lives. Clint’s message is simple but profound: legacy is a choice. It is not one grand moment, but a stack of small decisions that accumulate over time. Chris and Colin reflect on why a selfless, service-oriented legacy matters more than chasing recognition, and how that perspective shapes the way they live. They connect Clint’s framework of character, capability, and connection to their Whole Self Philosophy, exploring the cost of wearing different “masks” in different environments, what it means to be the same person at home, at work, and in the community, and why compartmentalizing your life eventually catches up with you. The episode closes with the daily practices that shape meaningful change: Colin’s well-being days and morning routine, Clint’s commitment to prayer, and Chris’s realization that writing may be his truest form of journaling. In the end, they argue that a meaningful legacy is built one honest, intentional day at a time—especially on the Tuesdays that seem least important. See You On The Path!

Character, Capability, and Connection: Clint Kofford’s Path

In this episode of On The Path, Chris and Colin sit down with longtime friend and leadership advisor Clint Kofford, President & Managing Director of LeaderWorks. Clint shares how a formative two-year experience in Russia at age nineteen first forced him to lead peers, hold them accountable, and care for their well-being—well before he ever had a corporate title. From there, the conversation traces how faith, family, and career have shaped his view that leadership is ultimately about who you are, not just what you do. Together they unpack Clint’s framework of character, capability, and connection, why “declaring who you are up front” pays off, and how small compromises quietly erode the legacy you’re building. Clint talks about social capital without the sleaze of “networking,” the impact of being the same person at home and in the office, and why he believes legacy is a choice—a stack of daily decisions, not a single moment. The episode closes with a challenge for leaders stepping into bigger roles: shift the focus off yourself, center your purpose on others, and build simple practices—like daily reflection and meditation—that keep you On The Path.

Debrief: Marci Coppola

What if your “good” job is the thing keeping you stuck? In this episode of On The Path, Colin and Chris debrief their recent conversation with longtime friend and coach Marci Coppola—and get brutally honest about what it actually looks like to walk away from a “sure thing” to build a life and career aligned with your purpose. They dig into the messy middle between fear and courage: leaving a stable corporate role, surrendering the comfort of a steady paycheck, and stepping into the unknown with nothing but conviction, self-belief, and a mission to serve. Along the way, they explore the energy shift that happens when your work finally syncs with your values, why real growth almost always requires discomfort, and how community, friendship, and honest feedback keep you grounded while you take big risks. If you’re standing at the edge of a decision, considering a career change, or just feeling the nudge to live more intentionally, this conversation will help you sort through what you’re feeling and take the next step—even if you’re scared. Step On The Path, and give yourself permission to bet on you. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2358267/support]

Purpose-Driven Heart: Marci Coppola’s Path

In this conversation on navigating life, Chris and Colin welcome longtime friend Marci Coppola, founder of Seshen Coaching & Wellness. After a successful HR career, Marci shares the full-circle moment that led her to leave corporate safety and build a purpose-driven practice grounded in mindset, accountability, and nervous-system healing. From our stranded-island icebreaker to the story behind Seshen, Marci breaks down how to turn discomfort into direction, why most blockers are permission not capability, and how meditation and movement anchor her daily growth. We dig into fear as a teacher, the danger of unchecked small mistakes, building community while holding firm boundaries with clients, and Marci’s big vision for her business.
