Piece of Work with Danielle Tantone
Hi there. Welcome to Piece of Work, the Podcast. I’m Danielle Tantone. I’m a nurse, author, coach, and survivor.
I love inspiring people to live their best life, reach for those big dreams, and find joy even in the pain.
As I wrote my memoir over so many years, trying to make sense of a story where I was way too often the bad guy instead of the hero, I came to understand that we are all a piece of work. But we’re also a work in progress. And even in our messiness, we are a work of art, too. All at the very same time. In fact we are all beautifully unique pieces of one masterpiece, waves in the same ocean.
This podcast explores the stories and struggles that make us human, the miracles that surround us, and all the ways we work to make sense of it all. Welcome to Piece of Work, The Podcast, with Danielle Tantone.

Chasing Dreams & Facing Reality at 50 – with Brian Golub
This wasn’t planned.
I was having lunch with my friend Brian Golub — a professional actor, performer, and one of the most down-to-earth people I know — and I casually said, “Wanna record a podcast?”
We hit record… and this is what came out.
Brian just turned 50 and is living and working in NYC. We talked about what it’s really like to chase your dreams in midlife, what changes when you hit this milestone (and what doesn’t), and how we both continue to evolve — emotionally, creatively, and personally.
It’s funny, honest, a little messy — and full of real talk about identity, purpose, and staying grounded while going after big things.
If you’re navigating your own version of the messy middle, I hope this conversation reminds you you’re not alone.

This is Episode 3 in my raw and real return to podcasting after a two-year break. No fancy editing, no perfect plan — just real stories and meaningful conversations.
