Breakthrough Conversation with Chantell Preston

In this ‘breakthrough’ conversation, Angela chats it up with Chantell Preston, Healthcare Executive, CEO of Preston Partners, and author of the soon to be released The Success Lie, Reframing Your Reality to Thrive Personally and Professionally, a book which debunks embedded belief systems that reinforce the myth that we have to hustle for our worth. As someone who believes that women sports owners should be the norm and not the exception, Chantell became the Owner & Founder of LOVB San Francisco, a women's professional indoor volleyball league. Chantell candidly shares how she understood her need to pivot when her long-held love for her current career had dissolved. Even though she responded to her inner guidance to re-invent herself, during the pivot Chantell experienced an identity crisis. So many of us become affixed to what we do, not who we are. We are reluctant to remove the self-imposed labels that keep us stuck. Have you considered that your next breakthrough will present itself once you release your current label? Pivots are not detours; they are the breakthroughs needed to expand the path forward. Consume this podcast wherever you get yours, and connect with Angela across social channels.

Breakthrough Conversation with Moochie Norris

In this ‘breakthrough’ conversation, Angela spends time with NBA veteran, Moochie Norris who was the 33rd pick in the legendary 1996 NBA Draft. (Check out the ’96 draft class and you will see that Moochie was in great company!) Moochie played for several NBA teams including the Vancouver Grizzlies, Seattle SuperSonics, Houston Rockets, New Orleans Hornets, and New York Knicks (Go NBA Champs!). Moochie is known by his coaches and former teammates as a dedicated, versatile player who absolutely loves the game. This conversation unfolds like a vibrant tapestry, as we learn how basketball helped Moochie grieve the passing of his beloved mother, and how a high school coach and teacher cared enough for Moochie to help him see new possibilities for his life which propelled him to college, and subsequently the NBA. Moochie admittedly operates through the lens of a shorter-term vision, but he has mastered the art of the pivot. When he is faced with change, Moochie makes informed, efficient decisions. He does not get stuck. He keeps moving. If your tendency is more towards making changes slowly, consider taking a play from Moochie. Even after having a professional basketball career that many dream of, Moochie most enjoys his favorite job, Dad! In this season, this father of 4 enjoys coaching young student athletes and picking up his kiddos in the carpool lane.  Pivots are not detours; they are the breakthroughs needed to expand the path forward.

Breakthrough Conversation with Adam Hall

In this ‘breakthrough’ conversation, Angela posts up in the virtual studio with a fellow University of Virginia “Wahoo,” Adam Hall. Adam was a high school basketball phenom out of Texas who was a standout player at UVA known for his explosive athleticism and high-flying dunks. If there was ever a player with a 99.99999% chance of going in the first round of the NBA draft, it was Adam, until freak injury completely altered his journey. On this podcast, Angela talks about pivots...but what if the pivot feels more like the floor falling out from under you? You don’t know why it happened. You did nothing to cause it. Admittedly, it’s a part of the human experience. We may not always know why things happen, but we can all take a play from Adam. When the unimaginable happens, create a new, prosperous reality. Adam wrote a new story for himself as a fan-inspiring player for professional teams in Australia, Belgium, and Germany. His intendedpath was far better than what he previously pictured for himself. Sometimes your breakthrough is on the other side of your breakdown. Keep shining, Adam!Pivots are not detours; they are the breakthroughs needed to expand the path forward.
