In this first episode of Pivot Point: Strategy for Change, I introduce the core idea behind the entire series — the moment everything turns. As a psychotherapist and strategist, I’ve spent decades watching people reach these crossroads where staying the same costs more than changing. I draw parallels between financial pivots and human transformation to show how awareness, emotion, and pressure create turning points in all of us. Whether you’re shifting in business, healing personally, or redefining what’s next, this episode explores how every true change begins with facing yourself.

Nik’s Substack Podcast
What’s your Pivot Point? – the podcast examines how people navigate emotional pressure, uncertainty, and risk - and how a single decision becomes a true pivot point. Through in-depth interviews with individuals and companies across personal growth, business, finance, investing, health, recovery and trauma, each episode focuses on the pivot point itself: the internal conflict, resistance, fear, and courage that precede meaningful change.
We dive deep into personal stories from people of all backgrounds—individuals who have faced emotional adversity, difficult diagnoses, or life-altering events, and made the courageous decision to change. Whether their transformation was sparked by quiet frustration or emotional desperation, each guest shares how they turned struggle into strength, and how even small shifts led to meaningful progress.
Some are inspired to grow through personal insight, others are propelled by the urgency of crisis—but all offer valuable lessons about resilience, motivation, and the human capacity for change.
