Inside Job

We're Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson, and we love to talk about the intersection of life and work. Why? Most of us will spend more hours of our life working than doing anything else. The relationship we have with work, and the way we make meaning of our time and experience there, serves as a great platform to explore how we show up to the rest of our lives: relationships, family and parenting, our health, our hobbies and interests, and our general attitude towards the human experience. With insights and observations pulled from our leadership and career coaching, teaching and consulting work, as well as the most relevant research across fields, we'll talk about the ideas that really impact how you experience work – and your life – and actionable strategies to make work work for you, from the inside out.insidejob2020 Career Success Economics Personal Development Personal Success

  • 246: What Makes It A Problem
    May 26 2026

    In recent conversations, we've noticed some of our clients are dealing with problems that just can't be solved, and we thought it would be a good idea to bring that topic to the podcast.

    Nayla kicks off the discussion this week by sharing how a moment from the popular show, Heated Rivalry, helped shape her perspective on unsolvable problems. In return, Eric shares how a client he's working with is at a company that is directly impacted by what is currently happening in the Middle East.

    If you're a leader in your organization or someone who prides themselves on being a problem-solver, this episode is for you.

  • 245: How Do You Get Out of Your Head
    May 19 2026

    You've been told you need to get out of your head … now what?

    What does that phrase even mean?

    How do you go about actually doing it?

    In our previous episode, we had a conversation about being in your head and being alone with your thoughts. In this episode, we're flipping the script by diving into what happens when you get stuck in your own head, what that experience can look like, and providing some practical tips for getting out of your head.

  • 244: Can We Be Alone With Our Thoughts
    May 12 2026

    A recent article Eric read stating people would rather hurt themselves than sit alone with their thoughts for more than a few minutes, is the inspiration behind this episode.

    Not even Nayla knew what the topic would be going in, but it's a perfect example of what The Inside Job podcast is all about … pushing past the uncomfortable to face what's going on underneath.

    Take a listen to today's episode and really be honest with yourself over whether you would choose an electric shock over your own thoughts.
