Conversations led by our host, Karen Gilhooly | Leading With Purpose Karen connects the dots between personal purpose and team-level leadership, noting that great management means helping every person feel valued and operating in their strengths.

Karen also offers a sobering reflection on the trap of coasting by pointing out that time is finite. Guests Clips Summaries John Paguaga - John’s First Appearance | Values Over Skills John opens with the memorable "hole in the street" parable. This is the idea that the most powerful guide isn't the expert or the authority, but the friend who has been in that same dark place and knows the way out. He reflects on his own journey of using lived experience as a compass for helping others. John emphasizes that aligning your work with your core values, not just your skills, is the true key to sustainable fulfillment.

He reflects on his own journey of using lived experience as a compass for helping others. John emphasizes that aligning your work with your core values, not just your skills, is the true key to sustainable fulfillment.

]]> 713 22 Years, One Company: The Career Strategy No One Talks About In this episode of Make Minutes Matter, Karen Gilhooly sits down with Sarah Murrow, President & CEO of Allianz Trade Americas, for a candid conversation about what it really takes to build a meaningful, long-term career in a world that often rewards constant movement. Sarah shares her 22-year journey with one company, spanning continents, roles, and leadership levels, not as a story of staying put, but of constantly evolving. From saying yes to uncomfortable opportunities to leading a major IT transformation she initially got wrong, her experience offers an honest look at growth, missteps, and the mindset required to lead at the highest level. Karen and Sarah explore the hidden “equity” professionals build over time; credibility, relationships, and influence, and why walking away from it isn’t always as simple as it seems. They also unpack the tension between stability and ambition, the reality of leading through constant change, and why caring deeply about your work remains one of the most underrated competitive advantages. Throughout the episode, they reflect on navigating leadership as women in traditionally male-dominated industries, focusing less on barriers and more on what it actually takes to earn, and own, your seat at the table. This episode is for anyone questioning whether to stay or go, push forward or pivot. Because building a career isn’t about following trends, it’s about making intentional choices that compound over time.

]]> 2152 Knowing When It’s Time to Move On: Second Acts, Background Acting, and AI’s Impact In this episode of Make Minutes Matter, Karen Gilhooly welcomes back John Paguaga for a candid conversation about knowing when it’s time to move on, whether from a long career or a role that no longer brings energy or impact. Together, they explore the moment when meaningful work begins to feel like obligation, and how self-awareness helps you decide whether to refresh your path or pivot before burnout affects your brand. John shares how he evaluates engagement through three “buckets,” recognizing when the spark starts to fade. After leading 250 New York City tours and serving more than 2,500 guests, he chose to step away at the 18-month mark, valuing positive reviews and meaningful impact as his true currency. That decision opened the door to an unexpected second act in background acting, landing roles in film, television, and commercials, and ultimately earning SAG eligibility. Karen and John also discuss the rapid rise of AI, comparing it to the early internet and examining how it may reshape education and entertainment. While some roles may disappear, new opportunities will emerge for those willing to adapt, learn, and lean into their strengths. Throughout the episode, they emphasize timeless skills: knowing your values, communicating with respect, seeking to understand others, and embracing mentorship across generations. This episode is for anyone sensing their fire dimming or considering a second act. Reinvention isn’t a one-time leap, it’s an ongoing practice of awareness and courage.

]]> 1159 Why So Many Professionals Feel Trapped in Their Careers - Career Wisdom from John Paguaga In this episode of Make Minutes Matter, Karen Gilhooly welcomes back John Paguaga for a candid conversation about recognizing when it’s time to step away from a decades-long career and navigating the uncertainty of what comes next. After more than 40 years in the workforce, John shares the moment he realized “the rat race needed one less rat,” reflecting on the kind of exhaustion that doesn’t come from physical fatigue but from years of responsibility, pressure, and constant motion. Together, Karen and John explore the power of self-awareness, understanding your core values, and identifying your true strengths as the foundation for reinventing yourself, whether that means evolving within your current role or stepping into an entirely new chapter. John opens up about the difficult but necessary process of acknowledging when something no longer feels aligned, and the courage it takes to admit that change may be the right path forward. The conversation dives into what it really means to feel “on fire” in your work, why authentic recognition matters, and how many professionals quietly wrestle with the tension between obligation and fulfillment. He also shares the unexpected turns of his post-retirement journey, from searching online for “fun things to do for early retirees” to becoming a New York City tour guide, eventually leading 250 tours for more than 2,500 visitors. Yet even in that new chapter, John describes the moment he recognized the spark had faded again, reminding listeners that reinvention isn’t a one-time decision but an ongoing process of listening to yourself and adapting. This episode is a must-listen for professionals approaching retirement, contemplating a career transition, or simply wondering if there’s more to life than the daily grind.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices In this episode of Make Minutes Matter, Karen Gilhooly welcomes back John Paguaga for a candid conversation about recognizing when it’s time to step away from a decades-long career and navigating the uncertainty of what comes next. After more than 40 years in the workforce, John shares the moment he realized “the rat race needed one less rat,” reflecting on the kind of exhaustion that doesn’t come from physical fatigue but from years of responsibility, pressure, and constant motion. Together, Karen and John explore the power of self-awareness, understanding your core values, and identifying your true strengths as the foundation for reinventing yourself, whether that means evolving within your current role or stepping into an entirely new chapter.

John opens up about the difficult but necessary process of acknowledging when something no longer feels aligned, and the courage it takes to admit that change may be the right path forward. The conversation dives into what it really means to feel “on fire” in your work, why authentic recognition matters, and how many professionals quietly wrestle with the tension between obligation and fulfillment.

He also shares the unexpected turns of his post-retirement journey, from searching online for “fun things to do for early retirees” to becoming a New York City tour guide, eventually leading 250 tours for more than 2,500 visitors. Yet even in that new chapter, John describes the moment he recognized the spark had faded again, reminding listeners that reinvention isn’t a one-time decision but an ongoing process of listening to yourself and adapting.

This episode is a must-listen for professionals approaching retirement, contemplating a career transition, or simply wondering if there’s more to life than the daily grind. Be sure to subscribe to Make Minutes Matter for more conversations about purpose, reinvention, and making every minute count.

Click here: https://karen-gilhooly.kit.com/makeminutesmatter1 In Part 2 of this Make Minutes Matter conversation, Karen Gilhooly continues her thoughtful discussion with Darryl Chiang, Director in Google’s Legal Department, shifting the focus toward growth, failure, and the evolving realities of modern legal careers. Darryl offers a candid look at how artificial intelligence is reshaping professional development, not as a replacement for judgment, but as a powerful tool that accelerates learning and frees up space for deeper, more strategic thinking earlier in one’s career. Together, they unpack the importance of curiosity and asking questions, and why AI can serve as a judgment-free environment for developing confidence before stepping into high-stakes conversations. Darryl reflects on the balance between “book smarts” and “street smarts,” emphasizing that real professional wisdom is built at the intersection of theory, lived experience, and mistakes. He challenges the myth of linear career progression, arguing that detours, lateral moves, and even failures often create stronger leaders with clearer values and better judgment. The conversation also explores why today’s professionals need permission to fail, how memorable missteps shape ethics and integrity more than easy wins, and why broad, non-linear experiences often lead to more grounded decision-making. Throughout, Darryl reinforces the idea that growth rarely looks perfect on paper — and that’s exactly the point.This episode is a must-listen for legal professionals, managers, and anyone navigating career development in an AI-driven world.
