In our final episode of season 2 we flipped the script. We googled... each other.  Turns out even your closest friends can surprise you. From Liz's real estate to Chelsea's arc from farm kid to design director - we chat life, loss, love and dreams! If you've ever wanted to learn more about who's behind the mic every week, this is the episode for you! Thanks for riding with us as this season took us to Madison, Brazil, Guatemala, Chicago and SF - and we're just getting started

We originally met Fay Johnson at one of her famous parties. Then we learned about her resume: Co-Director of the Human Rights Caucus. Policy advisor at Oxfam. Behavioral science work in rural Kenya and children's hospitals. Product lead at Meta, X, LinkedIn, etc. Oh, and she once ran a TSA-approved airport at Burning Man.     

We sit down with Amy Jackson. She talks about turning 40 and completely flipping the script. After a decade at SAP, Amy Jackson went out on her own and founded TaleSplash, a PR agency that helps emerging founders get in front of the right journalists at exactly the right moment. She's landed clients in Forbes, Wired, and TechCrunch and she'll tell you the secret isn't just the pitch, it's building real relationships.

After an unexpected pivot abruptly ended his storied career as a fighter pilot, he headed to a conflict zone to found a company that grew to 200M+ in revenue within a few years. He's now an author and consultant for some of the world's biggest brands - ahem - Google. He talks about what he learned from his grandmother and hero: "just get on with it," how most people overcomplicate life and why us ADHD-ers are meant to run the world.

Talk about range! Some people pick a lane - Jenna has already picked several. She started out in military intelligence. She then put everything (and we mean everything!) on the line to become a professional barrel racer. She talks about what it really means to go-for-broke, lose it all, and rebuild stronger from the ground up. Now she's a real estate investor and author committed to helping uplift others. Giddy up!  

Abigail Wuest is a lawyer, former government official and CEO of Goods Unite US, an app that tracks corporate political donations. She talks about what we can do to influence the decisions made in our country, how to vote with our purchases and what running for political office is like behind the scenes (hint: terrible!).

Today's guest is Peter Gray - executive recruiter based in Madison, Wisconsin, and someone who has spent his career sitting at the intersection of ambition, reinvention, and what companies think they want versus what they actually need. We're getting into all of it today: how hiring really works, what makes leaders worth following, the pivots that actually land, and what he's seen go sideways. If you've ever wondered what a recruiter thinks of you, this is the episode.

In this episode we get to explore what happens when a physician swaps the exam room for a microphone. Dr. Zorba Paster brings his signature blend of medical expertise, humor and humanity to the conversation. After decades on the air, Dr. Zorba Paster is a beloved institution. He gets real with us about falling in love, navigating grief and listening to your intuition.  He also shares how he became a trusted doctor for his holiness the Dali Lama and the time he stayed at his house for two weeks. https://www.doctorzorba.org/
