Alison talks with Eric Woodard about why many people feel stuck, stressed, or misaligned in their jobs, and how mindset and wellness play into finding better work. He shares his career path through government and cultural institutions and explains how those experiences shaped his views on work and people.

They also discuss patterns he has seen across careers, including the challenges of building a business and the need for human connection in a more automated world. Eric emphasizes building trust by focusing on other people, leading with curiosity, and making conversations more about listening than self-presentation.

He also speaks about judgment, vulnerability, and not assuming we know what others are thinking. The conversation closes by discussing service, clear agreements, and being intentional and helpful in work and life.
