All good things must come to an end, right? On this final episode (for now) of "The Baily Hancock Show", I explain my absence over the last few months and let you in on my new project - the "Stop, Collaborate & Listen" podcast! Learn why I've switched gears and how you can continue to join me weekly for honest conversations with awesome people.

Money is power, but it’s also a massive source of anxiety, fear, and stress for most people. For Kathlyn Hart, money (or lack-thereof) was the thing that kept her from being able to have the experiences she wanted, from attending her dream college to traveling with friends in her early twenties. For many years, Kathlyn (like so many of us) felt that having a job where you could make a difference in the world meant earning little to no money, and that if you wanted financial security, it mean taking a soul-sucking job that you hate. On this episode, hear how she learned to flip that perspective and create a role for herself that allows her to support ambitious women to dream big, live bold and earn more.

One of the top answers I get when I ask people what they wanted to be when they grew up is “Actor”, and Samara Bay was no different. Growing up, Samara figured she’d end up doing Shakespeare in the park or performing on Broadway, but her career path took a different route. Sure, she now spends a lot of time in movie trailers, but not as the performer. Hear how Samara transitioned her passion for performing into a niche career training actors how to speak as a dialect and communication coach for some of the biggest names in entertainment.

Show of hands for my over-achieving, Type-A, “Wonder Women” out there who, despite doing everything “right”, still carry extra weight (especially in the middle.) Yeah, me too. Turns out, being a non-stop hustler can actually be damaging to more than just the scale. Dana James has spent the past 18 years studying the complex relationship between food, metabolic issues, and emotions and believes the missing link lies in addressing both the tangible and intangible – food and feelings; science and spirituality; conscious thought and subconscious thought. She’s the author of the book, “The Archetype Diet: Reclaim Your Self-Worth and Change the Shape of Your Body” which bottles these patterns into four archetypes of women. She explains why you store body fat in the places you do, what to eat, and how to crack the self-worth matrix that says my value as a woman is based on an external factor – looks, success, giving to others and being intuitive.

I’ve had a lot of different roles and career paths since graduating college, but Anthony Corrado blows my resume length out of the water. His adventures in employment have led him to a wide variety of positions, including comedy club host, home audio sales specialist, and regional manager for a boutique gold and diamond buying company. Self-taught with a degree from what he calls, “Barnes & Noble University,” Anthony champions the belief you can thrive on the road less traveled. Despite having not written his first line of computer code until the age of 32, he parlayed his eclectic past experiences into a rapidly-accelerating career where he now acts as the Chief Technology Officer at SpectAR, an augmented, mixed, and virtual reality software company. For anyone who feels like they keep hitting dead ends with jobs and can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, this episode is for you.

By now you should know that I love marrying the mystical side of life with the practical, finding ways to incorporate ancient knowledge with modern day thinking. Be it consulting my astrological chart, my Enneagram number, or in the case of today’s guest, my numerological makeup, I think it’s fascinating to see what these resources say I should do with my life. If you’re all aboard the “Woo” Train too, you’re going to love what today’s guest, Shanda Catrice has to say. Shanda specializes in helping women create more love, authenticity and purpose in their lives. Through a unique combination of practical wisdom (science & psychology) and intuitive guidance (spirituality), Shanda helps people create a life that feels aligned with their soul. Sign me up.

When looking for a new job, most people hit online job boards or scour LinkedIn for posted positions. They scan the bullet points of qualifications, matching them against their own experience and ultimately deciding whether they’re a close enough fit to apply. That traditional route never appealed to Danoosh Kapadia. Instead, he took advantage of internal opportunities to gain the experience he needed to make a career transition at one job, had a role created for him at another, and leveraged his network to get an “in” at more than one company he was interested in working at. Danoosh has time and time again landed roles based on following his curiosity, making connections, and bringing his A-game every time.

By the age of three, Lily Herman was certain about one thing: she wanted to do and be all the things. Fast-forward to today and she’s basically achieved her toddler dreams. Lily is a contributing editor at Refinery29 covering news and politics, the founder of Rogue Sunday, a digital strategy and marketing firm, and the creator of Get Her Elected, a network of over 2,100 people offering their skills pro bono to progressive women candidates running for U.S. office. Oh, and she also happens to be my favorite person to follow on Twitter.  On this episode, Lily shares how she chooses what to work on next (whatever sounds interesting and gives her new skills), how she maintains a thick skin when her work is critiqued or a project fails (keeping her ego out of the equation), and how she keeps the Twitter trolls from bringing her down (regular breaks and not being afraid to block people.)

About Rachel:For Rachel Mae Furman, the love of detailing her life in photos began back before the digital age. Obsessed with nostalgia yet unable to ever keep a good journal habit, Rachel thought it would be fun to take one photo per day with her film camera to remember her everyday adventures. Way before social media, she loved the feeling of anticipation dropping the film off at the drug store and remembering what she did in photos. Around this time, Rachel began a marketing and PR company with bars and restaurants as clients. Bored with the idea of traditional ads or press releases, she started her own website called Rachel's Guide, a where to go and what to do in the city. Paid on retainer by her clients, she created what they called a "manipulatable template website" on a new thing called Wordpress. Rachel got paid to go out and take photos, then post them on her website in fun stories. She coined this term "Reality Marketing."Soon after, this word called "Blog" started floating around,  Friendster got overshadowed by a new app called MySpace, and Facebook thereafter. Once everyone and their mother started posting every detail of their life and their dinner, the whole "template website" things wasn't quite as dazzling anymore.So, bored with everything, Rachel did the only thing that made sense... she sold all of her furniture, bought a 1973 Airstream camper, traded in her Jetta for a Ford F150 and traveled around the country solo for a few months. (Because, duh.) That love of freedom and adventure has never stopped, and Rachel attempts to live her life in California as a never-ending road trip.After 15+ years of building brands in between (or during) travel adventures, Rachel considers herself a Brand Documentarian, building a brand look and lifestyle through stories, photos, and experiences. She now lives in the little mountain town of Idyllwild, creating brand content, hosting branding retreats and helping clients figure out what the hell they’re doing and how to project it with her Personal Brand Coaching program BRAND x SPIRIT.Website: BRAND x SPIRITInstagram: @RachelMaeFurman (check out #TheLeisureLodge for all her beautiful mountain cabin photos!)

If you’ve even halfway paid attention during the last 43 episodes of this podcast, you know that I love connecting people and collaborating. That’s why I couldn’t wait to have Jess Hooper, fellow dot-connector and collaborator extraordinaire on the show. Jess is not only a total get-shit-done hustler, she’s constantly pushing herself to try new things and learn on the fly. On this episode, Jess shares her strategy for remaining excited and challenged in her career, and leaves us feeling motivated to get outside of our comfort zone and figure it out as we go.
