Erin Hatzikostas and Nicole Licata Grant catch up after a lot has gone on. They reflect on Nicole's interview with Seth Poole and the top 3 insights Erin drew from her interview. Erin also gives an update and PSA on the importance of mammograms.  They discuss how "authenticity" is not binary - that it's a spectrum and also the importance of plugging into other people's authenticity.  They then dive deep into boundaries and work-life balance, including the interesting data and their unique perspectives on how to trudge through this common and intense life challenge.  What real steps do you take to balance life and work?

All the men are like 'click' - let me go listen to some Joe Rogan." "That's the third example in 15 episodes where you have been naked and afraid." "I'm telling you world, you may feel like your work and your meetings and your deadlines are so important, and you just couldn't possibly get away, but it's all bullshit because you won't have any work to do when you end up in the hospital." "You know you're a great leader when people follow you out of curiosity." - Colin Powell. "We act like you're a leader or you're not, you're authentic or you're not, but there's a whole spectrum of experiences and situations, and each day you might find yourself a leader at one point and not at another." "We should make authenticity badges: you made it through twelve episodes - you get a badge!" "I went out this week of my own volition and walked up a frickin' hill. ...I was promised a fresh tomato pie, a beer, and a Bavarian pretzel with cheese. So there was a lot edging me forward." "Give yourself small obstacles, overcome them, and then see what you can do." "Intermingle work and life, but make sure it's a two-way street." "If you're going to (take a late conference call), you have to give yourself permission to do it on the other side."
