Anne Morriss and Frances Frei, hosts of the podcast Fixable, spent decades helping people repair their work problems. They supported anyone from entrepreneurs starting out to CEOs of global corporations. Along the way, the pair noticed something surprising. It didn't matter if the issue was completely new or a problem they'd been wrestling with for years. Often, people were only one conversation away from removing the roadblock. They only needed one good talk to find a solution.
That's where Anne and Frances offer their expertise. The two guide people past those barriers so that they can make things happen. That's also what they're doing on the Fixable podcast. Each week, they take a call from someone who's stuck. They could have a work problem that they can't figure out how to solve. So the hosts discuss things like when to say enough is enough and say no to an unmanageable workload. If a person's boss is being unethical, they advise on how to talk to them without aggravating them.
Callers talk about breakdowns in communication and how it harms their work relationships. They reveal their struggles with finding meaning in their work. They also share their wishes to make their passions into their careers. In a short span of 30 minutes, Anne and Frances help them find achievable solutions. The hosts uncover the guests' strengths and explain how to lean into them.
Besides offering advice to the callers, the hosts also conduct a post-interview analysis in every episode. This helps the listeners to develop a better understanding of the issues. It provides tools for them to learn better problem-solving in their own working lives.
Anne and Frances use Fixable as a way to show the world the type of work they do. By doing so, they hope to spread the message that meaningful change happens quickly. Everything is fixable, and it doesn't need months or years to happen. It only requires someone who can offer guidance through the process.
