| 5/20/26 | The Truth About Loss & How To Navigate Your Grief with Rebecca Feinglos | Loss is inevitable, and it’s an essential part of being human.What can often end up happening though, is we experience our grief as a sign of weakness.We try to put on a brave face and jump straight back into work as if nothing ever happened. But the truth is, pushing our grief down doesn't make it disappear.That’s a reality today’s guest knows intimately.Rebecca Feinglos is a certified grief support specialist, the founder and CEO of Grieve Leave, and the host of the Grief’d Up podcast.After losing her mother to brain cancer as a teenager, Rebecca became a master at hiding her pain. It was almost a badge of honor to seem perfectly fine.But when her father suddenly passed away in early 2020, and she navigated a divorce shortly after, the illusion that you can compartmentalize your grief was completely shattered.Rebecca took a dedicated 'year of grieve leave’ and today, she reaches millions, offering honesty, humor and real tools to help people navigate their darkest moments.Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage, or any major life transition, you're going to discover how to hold space for your feelings without losing your momentum, how to truly support the people around you, and how experiencing your lowest lows can ultimately lead to your deepest joy.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Why pretending your grief isn’t happening is the biggest mistake you can make.How to utilize the wave model and the pendulum model to better navigate loss.The truth about the five stages of grief and why it was never intended to be a linear model for everyone.How to properly show up for a colleague or friend who is navigating a difficult season.Why practicing being alone can drastically shift your identity and build your self confidence.What We Discuss:00:00 - Episode Opener and Introduction to the Podcast01:14 - Podcast and Guest Intro02:59 - The Biggest Grief Mistake05:50 - High Achievers And Duality07:20 - Childhood Coping And Compartmentalizing13:58 - Father Passes Away During Covid21:20 - Grief Changes Over Time23:49 - Freedom After Rock Bottom28:18 - Finding Safe Relationships34:15 - Learning You Are Safe39:10 - Practicing Being Alone41:42 - Self Talk On Solo Dates44:25 - Reference Points Story Setup44:47 - Grasshopper Meets Ants45:18 - Reference Points Framework46:11 - Past Present Future Self Talk49:14 - Grief Anniversary Waves53:02 - Making Space At Work54:56 - Workplace Culture And Retention58:40 - Be A Workplace Villager1:02:15 - Authentic Support Scripts1:06:20 - Beyond Death Grief1:10:46 - Disenfranchised Grief Explained1:15:04 - Better Grief Models1:19:10 - Rapid Fire Your Edge1:21:42 - Basketball As Connection1:24:05 - Where to Connect and ClosingFollow Rebecca: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rfeinglos/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rfeinglosFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rfeinglos/Grieve Leave Website: https://www.grieveleave.com/Grieve Leave Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/grieveleaveFollow Cameron:Instagram: https://instagram.com/cameronatlasYouTube: https://youtube.com/cameronatlasFacebook: https://facebook.com/cameronatlasLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/cameronatlas Newsletter Sign Up: https://cameronatlas.com | 1h 24m 58s | ||||||
| 5/13/26 | Mastering the Art of Storytelling with Cheryl Miller Houser | Stories are the connective tissue of our humanity. They are how we learn, how we interact, and how we move conversations forward. But if we don’t understand the art and science of what makes a great story, we are missing out on the potential to truly influence and inspire.Today’s guest on The Edge of Possible is Cheryl Miller Houser, an award-winning documentary filmmaker who has spent her career shaping culture and shifting attitudes.From her documentary 'Generation Startup' featured on Netflix, to brand spots for global companies, Cheryl knows how to connect a message directly to the human heart through the architecture of struggle and triumph.In this deep dive, we explore narrative transportation, the neurochemicals that make a story stick in the brain, the exact framework Cheryl uses to move people to action, and how vulnerability in your storytelling can become your greatest superpower as a leader.In This Episode, You Will Learn:How to utilize “narrative transportation” to move your audience from passive observers to active participants.The important neurochemicals that dictate how we process and remember stories.The “Think, Feel, Do” framework for crafting messages that drive tangible results.Why appropriate vulnerability builds more trust than “perfect” leadership.How to find and cast real people who embody universal human emotions to break down biases.What We Discuss:00:00 – Episode Opener and Introduction to the Podcast – Cheryl Miller Houser00:53 – Podcast and Guest Intro02:19 – Human Stories That Stick06:32 – Vulnerability Builds Relatability10:13 – Universal Emotions Examples16:35 – Think Feel Do Framework21:33 – Stories Drive Action26:29 – Sustainability Messaging Trap29:21 – Start With Action First33:28 – Biases And Objections38:48 – Story Steps And Heroes49:50 – Neurochemistry Of Story52:53 – Being A Story Conduit54:25 – Vulnerability Builds Trust55:21 – Create Your Storybook1:00:06 – Habits for Capturing Stories1:06:29 – Inner Critic and Judgment1:13:53 – Gratitude After Loss1:16:35 – Letting Go Practices1:23:10 – Narrative Transportation Explained1:25:55 – Stories Rewritten by Listeners1:31:09 – Your Edge Rapid Fire1:38:00 – Where to Connect and ClosingFollow Cheryl Miller Houser: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheryl-miller-houser/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cherylmillerhouser/Website: https://www.cherylmillerhouser.com/Follow Cameron:Instagram: https://instagram.com/cameronatlasYouTube: https://youtube.com/cameronatlasFacebook: https://facebook.com/cameronatlasLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/cameronatlas Newsletter Sign Up: https://cameronatlas.com | 1h 39m 21s | ||||||

| 4/8/26 | What it Really Takes to Build a High Performing Team with Emile Studham | We’ve been conditioned to think of culture as the 'soft stuff' of business - the perks, parties and the ping pong.Today’s guest though, Emile Studham, argues it's a structural system that must be engineered in order to build a high-performing team.Emile brings a unique blend of behavioral science and pro-sports discipline to the corporate world.He’s learned first hand that great teams don't just happen by accident, they are built through what he calls 'intentional engineering.'In this episode, we strip away the fluff of corporate buzzwords and get right into the mechanics of how human beings actually cooperate. Emile breaks down why 'catching the good' as he calls it, is a strategic necessity, not just a nice-to-have, and why protecting your team from 'brilliant jerks' is one of the most important moves a leader can make.We also go deep into the tactical side of leadership. We talk through a framework for giving feedback that actually lands, how to use 'intermissions' to reset team dynamics before they break, and the critical difference between 'training' and 'playing' in a business context.If you are leading a team, running a business, or just want to understand the science of how we work better together, this conversation gives you the blueprint to build a culture that wins.In This Episode, You Will Learn:The core principles of “intentional engineering” and why environment dictates behavior.Why you must reward right behaviors rather than just right results to avoid a toxic culture.The “Catch the Good” ritual and how it builds a trust bank for your organization.How to use “Intermissions” and “Team Tuneups” to reset dynamics before they break.The “SORT” framework (Strengths, Opportunities, Recommendations, Takeaways) for feedback that actually lands.What We Discuss:0:00:00 - Episode Opener and Introduction to the Podcast - Emile Studham0:00:59 - Podcast and Guest Intro0:02:27 - Intentional Engineering Explained0:04:39 - Sport Lessons for Business0:05:31 - Catch the Good Ritual0:07:18 - Reward Behaviors Not Results0:11:03 - Co-Creating the Culture Code0:14:39 - Rituals and Storytelling0:21:10 - Intermissions and Reviews0:29:49 - Feedback That Builds Trust0:38:07 - Owning Feedback Triggers0:38:47 - Rebuilding Trust Bank0:39:57 - Safe Feedback Framework0:43:30 - Relationship Script for Care0:46:39 - Biology and Belonging Cues0:50:45 - Curiosity Over Being Right0:54:13 - Train Like Pro Athletes0:57:11 - Accountability Integration Sessions1:01:08 - Empathy Beats Anonymous Reviews1:08:20 - Tone Context and Misreads1:09:55 - Using Code to Decide Fit1:14:14 - Assumptions and Texting Tone1:15:11 - Assumptions And Escalation1:15:41 - Stop Email Ping Pong1:17:35 - AI And Behavior Contagion1:19:37 - MIT Study Memory Drop1:23:32 - Verify Before You Send1:27:26 - Noise And Cognitive Load1:30:03 - Burnout And Recovery1:34:00 - Reduction And Focus1:39:00 - The Code Relationships Process1:43:50 - Rapid Fire Values Habits1:47:58 - Wrap UpFollow Emile: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilestudham/ Website: https://https://www.emilestudham.com/Follow Cameron:Instagram: https://instagram.com/cameronatlasYouTube: https://youtube.com/cameronatlasFacebook: https://facebook.com/cameronatlasLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/cameronatlas Newsletter Sign Up: https://cameronatlas.com | 1h 52m 07s | ||||||
| 4/1/26 | How I Built A $178M Movement with Zero Experience with Wendy Steele | There can be times where we trick ourselves into believing that to make a real impact in the world, we need unlimited resources or a lifetime of experience.But my guest today proves that the only thing standing between you and a global movement might just be a notebook and the courage to ignore the voice in your head that says, 'Who am I to do this?'I think the more important question is 'Who are you not to?'Wendy Steele is the visionary founder of Impact100, a global movement that has disrupted traditional philanthropy.Wendy realized that the old systems of giving were leaving people on the sidelines, specifically women, so she designed a new model.

The one that says "someday."

| 3/4/26 | The Difference Between Good Intentions and a Real Solution with Jake Groshong | We often think that if we just throw enough money or resources at a challenge, it will go away. But what if the very way we try to help is actually keeping the problem alive?My guest today is Jake Groshong, the CEO at Playing for Change Foundation. Jake is leading a massive global movement that is flipping the script on how we create impact. Under his leadership, the foundation has grown well over 1,000%, now operating in over 130 locations across 30 countries.Jake and his team are using music as a powerful starting point to help dismantle barriers and tackle major issues like human trafficking, education and turning refugee camps into self-sustaining economic hubs.In this conversation, we talk about the critical distinction between sustaining a problem and actually solving it. We explore why the answers we are looking for are rarely found by bringing in outside experts, but by empowering the wisdom that already exists within a community.You are going to hear incredible stories of transformation, from the Sahara Desert in Eastern Morocco to the villages of Nepal, and the specific mindsets required to unlock potential in even the most difficult of circumstances.This is a masterclass in leadership, empathy, and the power of belief.In This Episode, You Will Learn:The Power of Self-Confidence: You cannot enable potential in someone who feels “lesser than”. Real leadership starts by building self-confidence and changing someone’s internal mindset so they believe their ideas have value.Community-Led Solutions: The answers to local problems are rarely found by bringing in outside experts, but by empowering the wisdom that already exists within the community.Radical Independence: Hire people of excellence and trust them to execute; micromanagement stifles the innovation required to solve complex problems.Cultural Entry Points: How a simple music program in Nepal became the catalyst for women to dismantle centuries of oppression, child marriage, and human trafficking.High-Impact Scalability: How to keep overhead low while maximizing programmatic impact by hiring locally and sharing the financial burden with global partners.What We Discuss:00:00 – Introduction02:17 – Stop Sustaining Problems03:55 – Community Led Impact Model04:45 – Refugee Camp Self Reliance07:11 – Building Pride And Belief11:28 – Music As The Catalyst13:22 – Nepal Girls And Culture Shift17:35 – Breaking Beliefs Door To Door19:53 – Scaling A Global Movement22:44 – Artists And Viral Origins26:30 – Proven Solutions And Policy28:42 – UN Recognition And Gaza Plan30:50 – Funding And Future Growth32:35 – Foster Care Music Wins34:28 – Pine Ridge Hope Shift35:49 – From Aid to Empowerment37:48 – Mentors Spark Education38:58 – Coalitions Over Competition41:05 – Leadership Trust Culture43:07 – Motivation Family Perspective46:51 – Beyond Suffering Narratives49:03 – Mindset Internal Accountability51:53 – Support and Funding Paths59:34 – Hiring Cultural Intelligence01:02:32 – Tearing Down Walls01:04:17 – Closing Thanks Next StepsFollow Jake Groshong & Playing For Change Foundation: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jake-groshong-33a053a/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/playingforchangefoundation/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PlayingForChangeFoundation/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PlayingForChangeORGWebsite: http://playingforchange.orgFollow Cameron:Instagram: https://instagram.com/cameronatlasYouTube: https://youtube.com/cameronatlasFacebook: https://facebook.com/cameronatlasLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/cameronatlas Newsletter Sign Up: https://cameronatlas.com | 1h 04m 52s | ||||||

| 1/14/26 | How to Turn Burnout into a Powerful Invitation to Grow with Caleb Campbell | We live in a world that is moving faster than ever. The pressure to keep up, to achieve, and to look like we have it all together for our families and our teams is immense.And it can often lead to burnout and a life spent constantly chasing the next thing, only to feel like we are still not enough.Today's guest knows this pressure intimately. Caleb Campbell was once known as “America’s Athlete". A West Point graduate, an Army officer, and an NFL linebacker, he had built a seemingly perfect life: the ultimate scaffolding of success.But in an instant, a sudden policy change erased his NFL dream, and that entire scaffolding collapsed.In this conversation, Caleb shares how to view burnout not as a dead end, but as a powerful invitation for growth. We explore how to stop building our lives on the back of willpower and instead learn to "rest in the river," unlocking the conviction needed to move from a life of survival to one of true purpose.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Why our nervous systems view even positive change as a threat and how to dismantle those protective “soldiers” that keep us stuck in the past.What happens when the “scaffolding” of your first half of life collapses, and how to emerge as a larger version of yourself.How to recognize if your ambition is fueled by a “deficit” of wanting to be enough or by a genuine desire to serve.Why the next season of your life might require resisting less and slowing down rather than working harder.A practical, tactical tool for building the “muscle of presence” in the middle of a chaotic workday.How to recognize an emotional signal, reframe it as an opportunity, and respond by regulating your nervous system.What We Discuss:0:00:00 – Introduction: Embracing Discomfort0:01:35 – Meet Caleb Campbell: America’s Athlete0:02:12 – Navigating Pressure and Burnout0:06:12 – The Role of the Nervous System in Change0:09:30 – Caleb’s Journey: From NFL to Janitor0:14:42 – The Need for Acceptance and Belonging0:19:49 – The Collapse and Rebirth0:25:20 – Finding Joy in Simplicity0:41:13 – The Tension of Conviction vs. Success0:42:40 – Soul’s Call for Stillness and Reflection0:44:04 – The Importance of Inner Expansion0:48:10 – Navigating Life’s Demands with Spirituality0:49:36 – Alchemy and Transformation1:01:07 – Practical Steps for Inner Growth1:08:35 – The Power of Presence and Meditation1:14:39 – Self-Reflection and Personal Growth1:15:46 – Meeting Kara: A Life-Changing Encounter1:22:24 – Facing Insecurities and Building Trust1:33:04 – Parenting and Evolving Together1:42:45 – Devotion and Inner Evolution1:46:59 – The Importance of Nature and Belonging1:50:09 – Conclusion and Final ThoughtsFollow Caleb: LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/iamcalebcampbellInstagram: http://instagram.com/caleb_campbellFollow Cameron:Instagram: https://instagram.com/cameronatlasYouTube: https://youtube.com/cameronatlasFacebook: https://facebook.com/cameronatlasLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/cameronatlas Newsletter Sign Up: https://cameronatlas.com | 1h 51m 27s | ||||||
