Opera, Wall Street, and a Career Nobody Could Have Written (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jen Litwin is my favorite kind of guest. Her story started with one thing (opera), embarked into a seemingly opposite career (Wall Street), and somehow found herself exactly where she needed to be. When you hear it, it all makes perfect sense even if getting there was anything but perfect. Jen trained as an opera singer at Oberlin and Yale and went on to perform professionally at the highest level. Then, a leader at AIG (where she took a temp job on a trading floor just to pay the bills) told he
On fear, faith, and finding a way back to the heart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mira Tarabeine might be an internationally recognized Islamic mindfulness coach, author, and yoga teacher, but her introduction to her faith wasn't peace: it was fear. Sitting in a fourth grade classroom in Syria, she remembers a teacher describing hell in vivid detail, and going home convinced she'd already lived her life wrong. She'd spend years struggling with the faith she was raised in. And that struggle stayed with her as she immigrated to a post-9/11 Los Angeles and started down a politic
The science behind the heart’s intelligence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this podcast, we explore the beliefs and systems that hold us back. But what if our mind isn’t the only source of intelligence and discernment in the body?

In this conversation, we get into the mechanics of heart rate variability and coheren
Why rest alone won’t fix burnout with Dr. Talissa Dorsaint (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a licensed clinical psychologist who's spent over a decade at the intersection of mental health, burnout, and creativity, Dr. Talissa Dorsaint makes the case that most of us have burnout completely wrong. It's not just "doing too much at work." It's the gap between what you want and where you actually are. And she should know. She experienced burnout herself amidst a windstorm of racism, mounting debt, and a pandemic she was not professionally equipped for. We get into what burnout really loo
Writer and data scientist on building a life without a finish line (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today’s guest trained almost every day for five years chasing a national championship and still lost. But that loss taught him something he's used ever since: how to play a long game without needing to see the finish line. Ryan Boyd is in his 20s, working full-time as a supply chain data scientist, coaching rowing, and writing the Substack newsletter Present & Progressing … all at once. He doesn't treat the job as an excuse to put life on hold. Instead, he's using this decade deliberately: build
