Listen to my conversations with the most interesting people you may not have come across yet. These conversations might not seem to have a lot in common at first. But just like songs on a mixtape, they create something memorable and emotional.

From Eyes-Closed to Camden Yards, and the Song She Was Afraid to Write with Rachel Druckenmiller (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today I talk to Rachel Druckenmiller, keynote speaker, songwriter and recording artist I met at a recent songwriting retreat. You know those people you meet that seem kind and approachable, and then as you learn more you realize, oh I think she’s a really big deal. Well, that’s Rachel. In the 3 short months since we first met, she lived out a childhood dream of singing the national anthem for her hometown Baltimore Orioles. We hear about all the seemingly small things she said yes to, things tha
Be Unforgettable in a World of Sameness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to another solo episode, where I gather up conversations with friends, clients and guests that won’t go away and keep organizing themselves around specific themes. This one is about something almost everyone I talk to is wrestling with: how to stand out and become memorable. Whether you're chasing a new job, a promotion, an investor, a creative breakthrough, or just trying to figure out what's next — at some point you're going to have to stand out among everyone else doing something simi
You Were Born Creative, Here's How to Get It Back with Juno Winner Rob Szabo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today I talk to Rob Szabo — a four-time Juno-nominated (and one-time Juno-winning) musician, producer, and composer who has spent over thirty years making a living doing the thing most of us are told to give up on.

Shedding Your Lazy Friends of Pleasure with Michelle Grocholsky (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Michelle Grocholsky is back for her second time on the show, and this one's a different format than her first. Instead of a traditional interview, we each brought two topics we were excited to explore, didn't share them ahead of time, and just pressed record to see what happened. Michelle works in equity, diversity, and inclusion, and she's someone I've had dozens of conversations with over the years — but there's something about doing it with a microphone on and other people listening that make
The Real Why Behind the Exploding Retreat Industry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to another a solo episode — where I pull together threads from conversations with guests, clients, and friends that keep organizing themselves around a theme, and try to make sense of them out loud so you have space to insert your own stories. Today's thread is the rise of the retreats. They seem to have come out of nowhere — nobody talked about them before COVID, and now everyone I know is either going on one, saving up for one, or running their own. I've done two in the last ten months
