Finding Your X Factor | Transit Unplugged TV Special 

Share on

Why do some people feel energized and fulfilled by their work while so many others feel disengaged, frustrated, or stuck? 

Drawing from his own career in public transportation, government leadership, broadcasting, writing, and business, Paul explains how people can find greater success and fulfillment by identifying the intersection of their interests and abilities—their personal X Factor—and putting it to work. 

The program features conversations with accomplished leaders from business, broadcasting, sports, and transportation. Each guest shares the career decisions, setbacks, opportunities, and defining moments that helped them recognize what they did best and build meaningful work around it. 

Featuring stories from: 

  • Frank White III, Founder and Managing Partner, Praxis Advisors Group, and former CEO of the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority 
  • Julie Gates, Director of Media and Content, Modaxo Media Group, and former Marconi Award-winning radio personality 
  • Larry Lauterbach, hydroplane racing champion and boat builder, Lauterbach Custom Boats 
  • Jody Schulz, Kent Narrows Boatel and Fisherman’s Crab Deck, and former professional football player 

Their stories demonstrate that career fulfillment does not come simply from following a passion. It comes from understanding your interests, recognizing your proven abilities, and finding work where the two come together. 

Whether you are beginning your career, leading an organization, feeling disengaged at work, or searching for your next chapter, this episode offers practical inspiration for finding your X Factor and using it to create greater purpose, performance, and impact.
