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.

Beyond the Fall: How to Find Happiness in Who You Are, Not What You Do
Kevin Cassidy is probably the most famous guest we've had on this show. With numerous Hollywood films under his belt, including 8 Marvel films alone, you've probably seen him in multiple films without knowing who he was because his face was never shown; Kevin was a Hollywood stuntman. Born with a severe cleft palate, Kevin endured relentless bullying growing up, and in college he was wrongfully arrested and jailed, losing his scholarship and spot on the football team. The fact that today he is a business owner, author, and speaker is a testament to his perseverance, work ethic, and drive, not to mention his outlook on life, and we're so excited to have him on the show to share his message. It's pretty apropos that his recent memoir is titled "Falling Down to Find Myself".

Overcoming Burnout for the Modern Man: Unleashing the Power of Expansive Intimacy
Intimacy. I'm just going to leave that hanging there for a sec. Does that word make you feel awkward? Or Uncomfortable? Well, it shouldn't. Intimacy, the meaningful, personal connection between people, is something that we as humans all need to survive and thrive. And yet, despite this, cultural norms for so many years have lionized the idea of a "tough guy," someone who shuns their emotions and vulnerability and takes life in the chin. So much so that the word intimacy is more often than not conflated with sex when it's spoken of. It's time for a change. Jim Young is an executive coach and author of "Expansive Intimacy: How "Tough Guys" Defeat Burnout," and he is here to share his thoughts on overcoming the stigma around intimacy and how we can all live more content and connected lives.
