The podcast
Human in Progress
Honest conversations and research-informed explorations of the psychology, experiences, and challenges that shape who we are.
The show
You are being formed by everything.
Especially the stuff you didn't choose. The question is whether you're paying attention to it.
Being human is complicated. We experience ambition, fulfillment, uncertainty, grief, relationships, change, and possibility, and we're all still learning how to make sense of it. This show is a place to explore those experiences through personal stories, psychology, and behavioral science, so you can understand yourself better and make more intentional choices about how you live.
What we explore
The experiences that make us human.
- 01Self-understanding. Strengths, identity, the inner critic, and the beliefs we carry.
- 02Behavior and change. Knowing versus doing, habits, motivation, and decision-making.
- 03Fulfillment and ambition. Achievement, expectations, purpose, and what success actually means.
- 04Relationships and belonging. Mentorship, family, connection, and being known and loved.
- 05Adversity and transition. Grief, illness, uncertainty, resilience, and rebuilding.
- 06Intentional living. Values, mission, faith, work, and the choices that shape a life.
Who it's for
Listen if
- 01You're curious about why you think, feel, and behave the way you do.
- 02You're navigating a transition, or asking what comes next.
- 03You've achieved good things, and you're still asking what makes a life fulfilling.
- 04You want growth that feels grounded and personal, not performative.
Your host
Hi, I'm Eric.
I'm a coach, speaker, and writer, and a husband and dad in Indiana. My path runs through a warehouse floor, community college, an autoimmune disease, and deep grief. I don't host this show because I have life figured out. I host it because I'm asking these questions, too.
I'm a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, and I've spent my career building programs that help people grow. I'm also writing a book, Human in Progress, a 30-day practice for the person you're still becoming. It's coming soon.
