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.

#408 Jodi Silverman: When the Kids Grow Up, But You’re Just Getting Started — Part Two
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Jodi Silverman never expected reinvention to arrive between carpools and client meetings. But once her kids left and the hustle paused, she realized success had masked something deeper: restlessness.
In Part 2, Jodi shares the emotional (and practical) shift from parenting full-time to rediscovering your own interests. She walks us through her signature DARE Method and dishes out real talk on marriage, identity, and why your kids aren’t your best friends (even if you really, really like them).
This isn’t just an episode about empty nests. It’s about refilling your own life—on your own terms.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
“You’re always their mom—but not always their problem-solver.”
Letting go means shifting from fixer to coach, giving your adult kids space—and yourself permission to grow.
Best Friend? Nope. Mom Forever.
“They have friends. What they need is a parent who actually knows when to walk away.”
Jodi explains why clinging to closeness can backfire—and how healthy detachment brings deeper connection.
The Real Empty Nest Challenges
“It’s not just missing them. It’s not knowing who you are without them.”
It’s not about quiet halls—it’s about a loud identity crisis. Jodi breaks down the emotional vacuum no one warns you about.
The DARE Method
“Decide. Awaken. Reimagine. Experience.”
Jodi’s four-step formula to reclaim your identity—starting with a brain dump, not a five-year plan.
Rediscovering You
“What did you used to like—before you were someone’s plus one?”
She urges listeners to list lost joys, try without judgment, and welcome failure as a doorway to rediscovery.
Day Swaps, Not Date Nights
“Plan a day around what lights them up. You’ll learn more than any heart-to-heart.”
From partners to adult children, this method rebuilds connection through shared experiences and mutual curiosity.
