What started as a podcast has grown into something much bigger.
Above & Beyond: Where Excellence Meets Elevation has always been about the people willing to push through adversity, bet on themselves, grow through the hard seasons, and keep reaching for something more.
Now, that message has a soundtrack.
We’re proud to officially release the Above & Beyond Anthem on YouTube — a song inspired by the stories, lessons, struggles, victories, and incredible people who have helped shape this journey.
This isn’t just a theme song.
It’s a reminder that where you are today doesn’t have to be where your story ends.
Keep climbing.
Keep believing.
Keep pushing.
And when life asks more of you…
Go Above & Beyond.
Jän was recently featured as a guest on Carol Blonder’s Networking Arizona radio program on 1100 KFNX in Phoenix, where he shared the story behind his insurance agency, his passion for serving clients differently, and the purpose behind his podcast, Above & Beyond: Where Excellence Meets Elevation.
In this conversation, Jän discusses what it means to build trust in business, create meaningful community connections, and use storytelling to highlight the people, leaders, and entrepreneurs who are making an impact. From protecting families and businesses through insurance to elevating voices through podcasting, this episode gives listeners a deeper look at the mission, values, and heart behind Jän’s work.
Tune in to hear an engaging conversation about business, relationships, leadership, community, and what it truly means to go above and beyond.
I had the honor of joining Kate Mayeski for one of the most personal and honest conversations I’ve had on a podcast.
This episode goes far beyond business, insurance, or podcasting. We talked about what it feels like to start something new later in life, the fear of not knowing what you’re doing, and the freedom that comes when you finally stop waiting for permission.
At 54, I launched Above & Beyond without fully understanding podcasting, RSS feeds, or what the journey would actually look like. What I did know was that I wanted to create meaningful conversations with real people — conversations about growth, leadership, reinvention, community, and the stories that shape us.
Kate and I also got into some deeply personal territory: growing up with the name Jan Cary, learning to stop caring so much about what other people think, trusting people deeply, navigating relationships, using humor as a defense and a bridge, and figuring out who you are after decades of building a career in a traditional industry.
This conversation is about reinvention, identity, emotional intelligence, trust, family, business, and what it means to build something meaningful without having the full blueprint.
If you’ve ever felt like you were starting late, making it up as you go, or trying to become more comfortable in your own skin — I think this episode will connect with you.
Every story has a soundtrack — and now Above & Beyond: Where Excellence Meets Elevation has ours.
The official Above & Beyond Anthem was created to capture the heart of what this podcast has always been about: resilience, growth, perseverance, purpose, and the decision to keep moving forward when life challenges you.
Inspired by the incredible stories shared by our guests and the message behind Above & Beyond, this anthem is more than a theme song. It’s a reminder to keep climbing, keep believing, and never allow where you are today to define where you can go tomorrow.
Turn it up. Take in the message. And whatever your next challenge may be — Go Above & Beyond.
