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.

#407 Jodi Silverman: When the Kids Grow Up, But You’re Just Getting Started — Part One
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 this episode, Jodi shares how she walked away from a print business, wrestled with guilt, and built Moms Who Dare—a movement for women redefining purpose in the second half of life.
This isn’t about motherhood or milestones. It’s about refusing to shrink when your old identity no longer fits.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
The Accidental Entrepreneur
“I had no business background. I didn’t even know what the word ‘entrepreneur’ meant.”
What started as a favor to a friend turned into Jodi’s first business—and taught her that grit beats a business plan.
The Silent Shock of an Empty Nest
“Suddenly, I had all this time. And I didn’t know who I was without the doing.”
With her kids grown, the quiet forced Jodi to confront the identity she had deferred for years.
The Dare That Sparked a Movement
“I dared myself to figure out what I wanted. And I didn’t stop until I did.”
The origin story of Moms Who Dare wasn’t about strategy—it was about survival and self-permission.
From Guilt to Growth
“I felt guilty for wanting something more. But I also knew: guilt doesn’t mean you’re wrong.”
Jodi confronts the emotional friction of wanting purpose beyond parenting—and what it took to say it out loud.
Midlife Isn’t a Crisis—It’s a Crossroads
“This stage of life? It’s not the end of the story. It’s the best chapter if you let it be.”
Redefining the narrative around aging, purpose, and starting over—without the clichés.
