Sludge Metal Musician / Agency Team Lead On Intuition, Creativity, and Balance – Radek Wiejek

Radek Wiejek is a digital marketer, team lead at Force of Nature, and founder of sludge/progressive metal band Omegalodon. He's also one of the most thoughtful people I know. When I asked him what one connection changed the trajectory of his life, I didn't expect his answer. He said: himself. In this conversation we talk about why intuition isn't voodoo - it's just your subconscious doing the math. How learning to accept your singing voice taught Radek something deeper about self-acceptance. Why being too comfortable at work is a warning sign. And what it actually means to find balance. Also: Nicolas Cage, if you're listening, Radek has a standing invitation for you. 🔗 Links Radek's band, Omegalodon 🦈: https://www.facebook.com/omegalodon.band/ [https://www.facebook.com/omegalodon.band/] https://www.instagram.com/omegalodon.band/ [https://www.instagram.com/omegalodon.band/] https://soundcloud.com/omegalodon [https://soundcloud.com/omegalodon] Radek on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/radek-wiejek/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/radek-wiejek/] The Rich Roll podcast episode I referenced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbKhPhvQ7ZQ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbKhPhvQ7ZQ]

Army Major / Agency Coach: "When You Know Who You Are, Doing The Right Thing Is Easy" – Chris DuBois

Chris DuBois has had more distinct lives than most people get. Army officer. Agency executive. Now coach and founder of Dynamic Agency OS. When I asked him what one connection changed the trajectory of his life, he took me to Alaska. To a unit called Charger Company. To Thanksgivings spent with people who became family because nobody could fly home. And to a lesson about teamwork and culture he's been carrying ever since. In this conversation we talk about what real teamwork actually looks like. Why culture is just the standard you keep - and what happens the moment you let it slip. How Chris transformed a struggling company into the second best in the brigade. And why knowing who you are makes doing the right thing surprisingly easy. After this conversation, I'll think of Chris and Charger Company every time I see a snow shovel. Find out why when you tune in. 🔗 Links: Chris' company, Dynamic Agency OS: https://dynamicagencyos.com/ [https://dynamicagencyos.com/] Connect with Chris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherrdubois/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherrdubois/]

One Connection That Changed Everything | My Story | And Why This Podcast Exists

Before I bring on guests, I wanted to answer the show's main question myself. What is one connection that changed the trajectory of my life? For me it starts with Cartoon Network, a chance meeting with a life coach named Michal, some sandwiches, Toastmasters, and a recruiter who happened to look up from her phone at exactly the right moment. This is the episode where I explain why Silk & Spider exists, what the show is about, and how I ended up here - as a Polish marketer, bass player, and chronic connector - doing something I probably was never supposed to do. Welcome to the web.
