About this listen

 We are Greg and Whitney Boyd, creators of the UNBLOCK Yourself program and podcast, and the Waypoint Intentional Living Retreat. We’re also former corporate world hustlers who believe life is way too short to live on autopilot. We think it is wild that people are not sprinting toward work and lives that actually light them up. But we get it. We’ve been there too. Most people are stuck or at least feel that way. That’s where this podcast comes in. Every other Thursday, we talk to people who got UNBLOCKED. You'll hear stories about finding clarity, career paths, career pivots and living with intention. Our guests tell us how they realized something had to change, made bold moves, and built lives that feel more aligned, more alive, and more intentional. We’ll share some of our own stories too, because we’re right here, figuring it out like everyone else. Some guests you’ll recognize. Others you will meet for the first time. But all of them will help you take the next right step toward a life that feels authentically yours. One that is off autopilot and intentionally lived.Copyright 2025 Career Success Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Personal Development Personal Success

  • What We’re Built On: Gratitude + The Power of Pause | Finding Clarity in Career Paths and Career Pivots

    What We’re Built On: Gratitude + The Power of Pause | Finding Clarity in Career Paths and Career Pivots
    Oct 9 2025

    In this episode, we dive into another one of the core values that shapes Vienna Waits: gratitude.


    Fresh off hosting our first-ever Waypoint Retreat, we reflect on the experience, the lessons we learned, and the deep sense of appreciation that continues to ripple from it. We talk about how gratitude shows up as both a feeling and a practice, how it connects to our Pause, Prioritize, and Pursue framework, and why slowing down can actually be the fastest way to move forward.


    We explore:

    • What it means to live with gratitude beyond the buzzword
    • The three proven benefits of practicing gratitude
    • The connection between gratitude, generosity, and presence
    • Why creating space to pause can spark deeper connection and clarity
    • Our simple GLOW Framework to help you build your gratitude practice


    We also share personal stories from the Waypoint Retreat, our daily reflection habits, and even a few funny moments (like the banana incident) that show how gratitude can shift everything from your mood to your mindset.

  • Storytelling, Patience, and UNBLOCKED Impact with Hilary Gauld | Finding Clarity in Career Paths and Career Pivots

    Storytelling, Patience, and UNBLOCKED Impact with Hilary Gauld | Finding Clarity in Career Paths and Career Pivots
    Sep 25 2025
    In this episode, we sit down with award-winning photographer, storyteller, and community builder Hilary Gauld for a conversation about creativity, advocacy, patience, and the power of images to change how we see ourselves and each other.Hilary’s journey didn’t begin with a lifelong dream to become a photographer. After a corporate career and raising young kids, a series of circumstances nudged her toward picking up a camera. What started as a few family shoots quickly grew into a thriving business that has now spanned nearly two decades, with her work featured in People Magazine, CBC, Breakfast Television, and even displayed on a billboard in Times Square.But photography for Hilary has never just been about taking pictures. It’s about memory-making, storytelling, and using images to shift narratives. From her long-standing work with the Down Syndrome community to powerful campaigns for women’s shelters and breast cancer awareness, Hilary shows how portraits can create conversation, representation, and lasting change.We talk about how curiosity and connection drive her work, what it means to be a “super connector,” and why patience is essential in both business and life. Hilary shares what it means to treat a career like raising a baby—nurturing it, sticking with it, and letting it grow at its own pace. She also opens up about channeling her creativity into art therapy programs, mentorship for young women, and a new chapter of impact.Here are just a few of the themes we explore with Hilary:How circumstances (not a grand plan) sparked her career in photographyThe difference between being a “picture taker” and a “memory maker”The power of portraits to change narratives for underrepresented communitiesBehind the scenes of the 31 Faces, 31 Days Down Syndrome Awareness campaignWhy representation in media matters and how advocacy through art creates changeWhy patience and consistency are key to building meaningful work that lastsWhat she’s building next: art therapy programs for kids and mentorship for womenHer advice for anyone feeling stuck or ready to step into something newThis is a conversation about storytelling, connection, and the patience to build something meaningful from wherever you are.Enjoy this conversation with Hilary Gauld.Episode Links:ONE FOR THE WALLHilary Gauld (Commercial)Hilary on Instagram31 Faces, 31 DaysShe Is Your Neighbour CampaignWaterloo Wellington Down Syndrome SocietyWho Moved My Cheese by Spencer JohnsonWe’d love to connect with you.

  • Healing, Reciprocity, and UNBLOCKED Compassion with Glenn Pascoe | Finding Clarity in Career Paths and Career Pivots

    Healing, Reciprocity, and UNBLOCKED Compassion with Glenn Pascoe | Finding Clarity in Career Paths and Career Pivots
    Sep 11 2025

    Today we are sitting down with Glenn Pascoe, founder of One4Another, a Canadian charity that provides life changing surgeries for children in Uganda. What began with helping six kids has grown into a hospital that has facilitated over 3500 surgeries since 2012 with 573 in 2024 alone.


    But Glenn’s story is not about swooping in to save children. It is about how his own struggles including divorce, depression, and searching for purpose pulled him back to Africa, where he discovered that healing can be reciprocal. The kids and families he serves have given him just as much as he has given them.


    In this conversation Glenn shares the realities of starting a grassroots organization with no resources, the importance of trusted local partners, and the challenges of sustaining hope through obstacles like COVID, economic downturns, and skepticism. He also talks about the timing of life events, the pull of purpose, and the advice he would give anyone feeling stuck.


    This is a story about resilience, empathy, and the power of answering a call you cannot ignore. If Glenn’s journey does not stir something in you, you were not paying close enough attention.


    Here are just a few of the themes we explore with Glenn:

    • How six surgeries grew into a hospital serving thousands of children in Uganda
    • The life changing impact of affordable surgeries and access to healthcare
    • Glenn’s journey through divorce and depression and how it led him back to Africa
    • The power of reciprocity in charity work and building One4Another on trust and local leadership
    • His advice for anyone feeling stuck and pulled toward something bigger


    We hope this conversation leaves you as humbled and inspired as it left us and that Glenn’s story sparks reflection on what it means to find purpose, to give, and to receive.
