In this first episode, Jack Cole turns the tables and interviews Jeremy Burns, the creator of Build Your Edge, on its origins, mission, and principles, and explains why he and WeDo are supporting it so much.

We spend our lives chasing success, expecting happiness to follow. But what if we’ve got it backwards?

This week, I’m joined by executive coach Ellinor Glesner to talk about the pursuit of happiness. Not the fluffy kind. The real, hard-earned kind that comes from aligning your work with your values, your life with your priorities, and your decisions with who you want to become.

Ellinor shares how she redefined success for herself after burning out in a high-flying corporate role. She explains why happiness isn’t found in titles or achievements, but in clarity, courage, and the small, consistent choices we make.

We talk about:

• How to know when something isn’t working, even if it looks like success on paper
• The difference between ambition and alignment
• How to make room for joy in a demanding career
• The questions that helped Ellinor reshape her life, and how you can ask them, too

This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought, “I should be happy—but I’m not.”

And yes, there’s a downloadable guide from Ellinor to help you reflect, reset, and design your own version of a successful life. You can find it here:
