Welcome to the Follow Your True Azimuth micro podcast, a frequently infrequent dose of inspiration.

When you invest 5 minutes to listen to an episode of this podcast you'll hear stories from people just like you who struggled to follow their own true azimuth.  You'll hear about the results people have reaped by honoring their true self, bravely taking action, and holding steadfast in their pursuit of living fully in alignment with who they are

I hope the stories you hear will incite you to act and galvanize you to follow your own true azimuth. 

So many people live their entire lives without the slightest awareness of their true azimuth. Many who know what their true azimuth is, never summon the fortitude to take action. And often those who do manage to take action struggle to follow their course tenaciously.

They end up living a life marked with regret, disappointment, and doubt because they are not living in alignment with who they truly are nor in alignment with what they truly can become.

Don't be one of those people.

Subscribe now to this micro-podcast.

The brief stories you hear will serve as an example of what happens when you honor your ideals and live your life in alignment with them.

The number one question I get about business coaching or career coaching is not how much I charge or how frequent sessions are or even what my qualifications are.  It's "What is an azimuth?"

An azimuth is a course from where you are to your destination and is represented by the 360 degrees on a compass.

A magnetic azimuth represents the effect of the earth's magnetic field on your compass at your location.

So if you really want to go 90° East true azimuth, you can't just point the compass and go. You need to know how much the earth's magnetic field affects your compass where you are. Only then can you "correct" your compass and follow a true azimuth to your destination.

What are the "magnetic pulls" in your life?

In life, you can also choose many directions. But most people underestimate the magnetic pull of bad habits, stale thinking, and old assumptions. These impact their efforts to move in a certain direction.

How can you be sure to follow your "true azimuth"?

To be effective in our life we need to know where we are, where we want to go, and then develop strategies and tools to enhance our abilities to "correct" old habits, thoughts, and assumptions. Then we need to get going!

G. Scott Graham is an existential handyman — fixing what’s broken, realigning what’s off-kilter, and helping people rebuild their lives with meaning, purpose, and the occasional strip of duct tape. He’s also an author, career coach, business coach, and psychedelic support coach based in Boston, Massachusetts.

Scott is driven to help clients follow their “true azimuth” — a direction distinct from “true north.” It’s not about chasing some universal ideal. It’s about identifying what genuinely matters to you. It’s about recognizing the forces that pull your life off course and learning how to adjust so you still arrive where your heart wants to go. When you’re 90 and looking back, your life should feel like it was truly yours — filled with pride, purpose, and meaning. No regrets.

When he’s not coaching people to be their very best, Scott runs a nonprofit farm animal rescue and lives what he teaches. He does Tough Mudders, teaches Sun 73 Tai Chi, paddleboards with his dogs Groot and Rocket, and camps in State Parks across New England whenever he can. His daily spiritual practice is grounded in anāpānasati, vipassanā, and mettā-bhāvanā meditation. A firm believer in service as the heart of a life well-lived, Scott also volunteers as an EMT instructor, firefighter, and Master Gardener in his community.

In his “free time,” he writes books.
