Chief Change Officer™
Change is already working on you. Could you make it work for you?
Chief Change Officer™ is a podcast for people who want to turn change into a breakthrough. It is for those reshaping a career, redirecting an organization, or rebuilding a life.
The show is hosted by Vince Chan, whose first lesson in change came at age four, after a severe arm injury led to surgery, hospitalization, and a long recovery. Since adolescence, she has lived through 20 major transformations across countries, careers, and crises. Before launching the podcast, she spent three decades in global finance and economics, from central banking and credit markets to billion-dollar institutional capital.
That experience taught her that change is never only personal. Markets shift. Institutions decide. Circumstances expand or narrow what people believe is possible. Talent matters, but so do context, timing, and power.
Vince brings together rare minds, black sheep, breakthrough builders, and unconventional champions from around the world. They include scholars who have spent decades studying people and institutions, executives who have carried responsibility through uncertainty, and leaders whose most valuable knowledge was earned beyond the clean lines of a textbook.
Together, they bring what Vince calls hard-earned human intelligence: judgment shaped by consequence and tested by time, trial, and revision.
They do not offer polished success stories or textbook formulas. They reveal what helped when plans collapsed, careers broke open, or life demanded a new direction.
Each conversation turns hard-earned human intelligence into practical judgment: how to understand what is changing, make stronger decisions, and move forward without losing yourself.
Chief Change Officer™ extends Vince’s work beyond markets and institutions into the human side of power and change. How people understand themselves, navigate their environment, and reclaim agency when the old rules no longer hold.
A Global Top 1% podcast and US #1 Careers show, Chief Change Officer™ is built for people who do not want merely to endure change. They want to understand it, use it, and turn it into a breakthrough.
Life is change. The question is whether change works on you, or you learn to make it work for you.

#413 Jevon Wooden: From the Military to Mindset Mastery — Part One
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Before Jevon Wooden became a business coach, author, and speaker, he was a 17-year-old on trial—facing up to seven years in prison. In Part One, Jevon shares how that moment became the turning point that led him to the military, and how the battlefield taught him about clarity, purpose, and emotional control.
This isn’t just a story about second chances—it’s about deciding who gets to write your next chapter.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
The Moment Everything Changed
“I was 17, on trial, and scared out of my mind. That’s when I realized—I had to make a choice.”
The day that forced Jevon to take back control of his story.
Discipline with Direction
“The military gave me structure. But more importantly, it gave me a reason to use that structure.”
Why accountability means more when it’s personal.
Clarity Is a Weapon
“You need to know who you are before you can lead anyone else.”
How the battlefield shaped his inner compass.
The Power of Emotional Control
“I couldn’t afford to break down. Not in the middle of a mission.”
What combat taught him about staying steady when everything else isn’t.
Redefining Masculinity
“We were taught to suppress everything. But real strength is being able to handle your emotions, not hide them.”
