Pivotal With Kevin Simcock

Welcome to Pivotal with Kevin Simcock (formerly Nifty Thinking)

After 30 episodes of Nifty Thinking, it was time for something more aligned—with who I’ve become and the people I now serve.


Pivotal is a podcast for purpose-driven business founders and conscious achievers who’ve built success—but want it to feel more meaningful. If you’ve outgrown your dream business and are ready to create something that fulfills you, this is your next step.


Hosted by Kevin Simcock—strategic advisor and former global executive building 9-figure businesses and Fortune 500 brands—each episode delivers insight, real talk, and practical tools to help you navigate the pivotal moments in your business, leadership, and life.


Because success isn’t the finish line. Alignment is.
