Life Fulfilled Podcast — Rethinking Leadership for Sustainable Performance

Hosted by Bernie Borges | Founder, Fulfilled@Work Academy

Most people think of fulfillment as a feeling. But we treat it as a strategy—a powerful driver of performance, loyalty, and leadership impact.

Whether you lead in the workplace, at home, or in your community, host Bernie Borges helps you harness the five life pillars—health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy—to lead with both head and heart.

If your team’s performance is slipping and you can’t see why, this podcast helps you uncover the silent costs of disengagement.

You can’t lead high-performing teams with outdated tools. This podcast gives you the upgrade.

You’ll hear no-fluff solo episodes and guest conversations on modern leadership, workplace culture, disengagement, and the evolving role of AI, always grounded in actionable insights that help you create traction where it matters most.

Bernie is the creator of the Fulfillment-Centric Leadership™ Framework and founder of the Fulfilled@Work Academy, equipping leaders to build energized, high-performing teams without sacrificing what matters most.

If you’re ready to align performance with purpose, starting where you spend most of your time, subscribe to the Life Fulfilled Podcast. Because fulfillment isn’t just a feeling. It’s your performance strategy.

Life Fulfilled Podcast — Rethinking Leadership for Sustainable Performance

Small Group Masterminds for Career Fulfillment

August 11, 2025 • Season 4 • Episode 247

If you've ever found yourself dreading Mondays, this episode is for you. This week, host Bernie Borges opens up about his journey to career fulfillment.

After hitting some of the traditional milestones, co-founding a startup, public accolades, and social media success, he quietly struggled with emptiness and misalignment.

You'll discover how he reached his turning point and found his career fulfillment.

Here are three key discussion points:

1️⃣ The Power of Values Alignment
Bernie reveals how identifying and aligning his life with his most important values empowered him to take the action he needed, resulting in a transformation from a hollow to a deeply rewarding career.

2️⃣ The Five Pillars of Fulfillment
Bernie introduces his unique framework: health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy, emphasizing that you can’t focus on just one. True fulfillment means examining all five areas and understanding how they intersect.

3️⃣ Mastermind Support and Community Matter
Bernie's breakthrough came not just from self-reflection, but from realizing the value of a supportive community. That’s why he created the “Fulfilled@Work™ Mastermind” groups: small, guided cohorts (5 to 10 people) that offer coaching, peer support, and accountability to help you take concrete steps toward career fulfillment.

🚀 Main Takeaway:
Bernie's experience clarifies that fulfillment at work isn’t achieved with a sole focus on career, or alone. When you align your values and tap into a supportive community, you become more energized, focused, and confident both at work and in life.
