No More Mondays is a leadership, human performance, and future of work 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 Episodes run in themed arcs — three conversations on one idea, from three different angles — with Midweek Momentum drops in between. 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, and 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. 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.

What the Outdoors Knows About Us | Midweek Momentum with Angie Callen
What can the outdoors teach us about ourselves that our everyday lives can't? As we wrap up our The Outdoors Change Us series, Angie revisits a question she asked all three guests — Spencer Jones, Linda Clark, and McKenzie Johns: What has being outside taught you that work never could? Their answers reveal three surprisingly different lessons: learning to trust yourself, recognizing when you need others, and getting comfortable simply being with yourself. In this Midweek Momentum, Angie explores how stepping outside our familiar environments can challenge our assumptions, reveal capabilities we didn't know we had, and help us discover parts of ourselves that might otherwise remain hidden. Because changing your environment doesn't automatically change your life. But it might create the conditions for something new to emerge. This week's question: What part of you needs different conditions in order to emerge?

Ever wonder why you feel a tug towards certain places? For McKenzie Johns, the mountains and rivers of Colorado were more than just destinations—they were catalysts for change.

When Everything Becomes a Performance | Midweek Momentum with Angie Callen
When did everything we do become something we have to be good at? We spend our working lives chasing goals, measuring progress, and optimizing performance. But somewhere along the way, that same mindset started creeping into the things we supposedly do for fun. Inspired by a recent No More Mondays conversation with Linda Clark about leadership, uncertainty, and lessons from the outdoors, Angie explores why we need spaces in our lives where achievement isn't the point. From mountain biking to hobbies that somehow become competitive sports, this Midweek Momentum is a reminder that enjoying improvement isn't the same as requiring achievement. Sometimes the point of the thing is just the thing. This week's question: When was the last time you did something you enjoyed without needing to turn it into an accomplishment?

Outside is a Great Place to Get Uncomfortable
When was the last time you deliberately did something that made you uncomfortable? Following Angie's conversation with Spencer Jones, this Midweek Momentum explores what the outdoors can teach us about leaving our comfort zones — and why we don't need a mountain, trail, or big adventure to practice being uncomfortable. Discomfort is a capacity we can build. Try something you might suck at. Speak up. Ask for something. Walk into the room where you don't know anyone. Do the thing you'd rather avoid. Because the more willing we are to choose manageable discomfort, the better prepared we may be for the discomfort life chooses for us.

What Do You Need to Unlearn
What's something you know about yourself… but somehow keep having to learn again? After three conversations about self-leadership, Angie looks back at what Ebony McNeil, Corinne Crabtree, and Jay Abbasi said when asked what they still have to relearn about themselves — from seeking validation to remembering their own capability to navigating rejection and criticism. Because growth doesn't mean the old thoughts never come back. Sometimes it means recognizing them faster, questioning what no longer serves you, and choosing differently. So, what do you need to unlearn — or maybe just remember?
