Thriving Outside the Box

Season 1, Ep 9: From Therapist to Professor to Coach: An Integrated Journey

In this energizing episode of Thinking Outside the Box, we’re joined by Rich Furman of Rich Furman Coaching. With three decades of experience spanning clinical social work, academia, and leadership, Rich brings a deeply integrated perspective to personal and professional growth.

We explore the powerful themes of authenticity, purpose, and joy — and why they’re non-negotiable for sustainable success. Rich also shares a bold take on why “goals suck” and how embracing a process-oriented approach improves both performance and wellness.
