Agile Self-Development
Agile Self-Development explores how to design the second chapter of work and life.
After spending years — often decades — building careers, many of us start asking different questions. What kind of work do we actually want to do next? What pace of life feels sustainable? And what does “enough” really look like?
Hosted by Product Leader and Agile Practitioner Helene Amster Kopel, this podcast blends ideas from agile thinking, professional development, and real-life career experience to explore how our careers can evolve over time.
Instead of making dramatic pivots or starting over, the second chapter is about experimenting, learning, and intentionally designing what comes next.
Episodes include practical insights on skills like consulting, networking, and influence, along with deeper conversations about meaning, fulfillment, and redefining success in the later stages of a career.
If you’ve spent years climbing the ladder and are starting to wonder what comes next, you’re not alone.
Because the first chapter of our careers was about climbing.
The second chapter is about designing.

S2 Ep13: WTF is Value Economics with Sam LaCrosse
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today's guest is Sam LaCrosse, author of Value Economics, The Study of Identity. When I was introduced to Sam, he was described as just a regular guy, “a nobody. He hasn't done anything amazing. He is not extraordinary or impressive. He doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry. He's just an ordinary guy from Cleveland, Ohio, who now lives an ordinary life in Austin, Texas.”
Here’s what’s not so ordinary…Sam got tired of the self-help books falsely telling people they could be anything they want, and he researched and wrote a book to cut through all the hyperbole and put you on a path of self-discovery allowing you to become your most authentic self.
Sam LaCrosse also authors a blog at Dontreadthisblog.com, and hosts Don’t Listen to this podcast.
