No More Mondays
Angie Callen
No More Mondays is a leadership and human performance podcast for professionals, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders who want to live and work with intention — not simply follow expectations someone else defined for them.
Hosted by former engineer and executive coach Angie Callen, the show explores what it really means to build a purposeful career, business, and life aligned with your strengths, values, and individual goals.
Because the truth is simple:
Humans still matter.
Mediocrity is expensive.
Ownership changes everything.
Every episode is designed to equip and empower you to navigate the decisions, leadership moments, and mindset shifts that shape your career, business, and life.
The goal isn't just success.
It's learning how to design work that complements your life instead of competing with it.
If you've ever wrestled with the tension between alignment and achievement, fulfillment and performance, or purpose and practicality — this podcast is for you.
Who This Podcast Is For
No More Mondays is for high-performing professionals, entrepreneurs, coaches, and leaders who want to take greater ownership of their work, leadership, and decisions.
Listeners often find themselves asking questions like:
How do I grow my career without burning out?
What does intentional leadership actually look like today?
How do I align my work with my strengths and values?
What does success look like beyond titles, promotions, or traditional career paths?
How do I lead well while navigating uncertainty and change?
How do I design a career that supports my life instead of consuming it?
How do I stay fully human while working in an increasingly AI-enabled world?
If you believe work should support a meaningful life — not compete with it — you'll feel right at home here.
What You'll Learn
Through conversations with entrepreneurs, leaders, authors, and thinkers — along with Angie's solo reflections and Midweek Momentum episodes — the show explores topics like:
Leadership development and modern leadership
Career growth and intentional career design
Entrepreneurship and building meaningful businesses
Human performance and better decision-making
Work-life integration and sustainable success
Navigating career transitions and reinvention
Purpose-driven leadership and authentic influence
Creativity, curiosity, and personal ownership
Thriving in the future of work while staying fully human
You'll also hear conversations about how humans lead, think, and perform in the age of AI — and how technology can amplify our capabilities without replacing the human qualities that matter most.
This isn't a podcast about hustle culture or empty motivation.
It's a space for thoughtful conversations that raise the bar on how we approach leadership, work, and the choices that shape our lives.
Why This Conversation Matters
Work is changing.
Technology, entrepreneurship, AI, and evolving career paths are redefining what success looks like.
But one thing hasn't changed:
The quality of our thinking, leadership, and decisions still determines the quality of our lives.
And the more intentional we are about how we show up — the more agency we have over the careers, businesses, and lives we build.
This podcast exists to help you think more clearly, lead more intentionally, and build a career and life you actually want to live.

Conscious Entrepreneurship; Work and Life Lessons from an Executive Recruiter
The pendulum is swinging back. Back in the early 2000's the "work-til-you-drop" culture was running rampant in startups everywhere, particularly in the tech space. 80, 90, 100 hour work weeks were a mark of honor, a badge of distinction. Nowadays, the extremes of the early days seem quaint and misguided. Startups are taking self-care seriously and embracing Conscious Entrepreneurship, an ethos of intentional leadership that places personal care and growth at the forefront of an organization's culture. Dave Mayer is the founder and CEO of Technical Integrity, an executive search and technical recruitment firm whose aim is to empower clients to do well while doing good. He's here to talk all about the dangers of burnout, the importance of intention, and how we can all live and grow with a simple phrase: You are not your job.

This Call May Be Monitored for Training Purposes (Remix)
This is one of our favorite episodes from last year! With the labor market being what it is, workplace satisfaction has never been more important, which is why we're re-releasing this all-too-pertinent episode. We've all heard it before: "This call may be monitored for training purposes." It's been said to us so many times now that we don't even blink at how misguided the whole sentiment is! Craig Knight is a researcher who studies and consults in the psychology of workplace satisfaction, and we're so happy we got him on the line to discuss his insight into creating engaging and positive workplaces. Want to hear about how the modern office space gets its inspiration from philosophy in 18th century prison architecture? Then this episode is for you.
