Underneath The Title: When High Achievers Start Questioning the Success They Built
You did everything right. Built the career. Earned the title. Hit the number. And somewhere along the way, you stopped recognising the person doing it.
Underneath The Title is a podcast for high-achieving professionals who are starting to ask the questions they've been too busy to ask: Who am I when the role goes away? What was I actually building toward? Is this it?
Host Kevin Simcock spent 25 years leading creative work for some of the world's most recognised brands at Ogilvy. He was furloughed from a global VP role at 50, turned down the replacement offer, and chose to figure out what success actually meant to him. What he found changed everything.
Each episode goes beneath the surface of professional identity to explore what drives the decisions we make, the success we chase, and the fulfilment we keep expecting to arrive. Kevin draws on his own experience, his work with senior leaders and business owners navigating major transitions, and his framework, The Dance, which holds that your professional and personal identity were never meant to be separate.
If you're in the middle of a transition, questioning what comes next, or simply wondering why the success you've built feels quieter than you expected, this show was made for you.
New episodes bi-weekly. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
Kevin is also the author of Whose Ladder Is This? and an executive advisor working one-to-one with high-achievers navigating identity and transition.

You've Evolved But Your Business Hasn't. Now What?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You built the dream—but now it feels like a trap. If your successful business no longer fits who you've become, it’s not a sign of failure; it’s an invitation to evolve.
In Episode 2, we explore the critical moment many purpose-driven founders experience when they realize they've outgrown their original business vision. We'll dive deep into:
· Recognizing the signs that you’ve outgrown your business.
· Understanding why founders often resist necessary change.
· Practical strategies to courageously reimagine your next chapter.
· How embracing reinvention leads to deeper clarity, purpose, and fulfillment.
