Buckle up, Brave Table fam! This episode is fire—and not just because Jen Kem is in the house dropping unicorn energy all over the place. Jen and I dive into the messy, magical truth about building a unicorn team, why innovation thrives on community, and how Gen Z is rewriting the rules of work and play. You’ll learn how to find your leadership energy, avoid donkey-level burnout, and live the “Fancy Lazy” life—working smarter on what really matters.

We’re spilling the tea on how to navigate big ideas, mobilize your vision, and rally the right people around you so you can step into 2025 as the innovator the world needs. From bold advice for moms and moguls to calling out toxic work dynamics and jackass energy—this episode will leave you inspired, equipped, and ready to rally your unicorn squad.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• Unicorn teams start with knowing your leadership type.
• Focus on the right hard things to conserve energy and work smarter.
• The best innovations come from collaboration, not solo hustle.
• Fancy Lazy is doing what energizes you and delegating the rest.
• Beat self-doubt with systems and unicorns.
