All That Glitters

How does a two-time Olympic gymnast (soon to be three-time with the upcoming Tokyo Games) mentally and physically prepare for one of the most competitive and watched sporting events in the world? We find out in this week's podcast as we welcome Team USA's top men's gymnast Samuel Mikulak, who aside from his Olympic appearances, is also a six-time U.S. national all-around champion and eight-time NCAA Champion. Samuel offers tips on creating balance in your life, explains the benefits of mindfulness practice and meditation, lays bare his diet and exercise routine, and discusses his upcoming retirement from the sport and how he is preparing for life after gymnastics.

With Father's Day around the corner, we decided to change it up a bit and do a solo-hosted, father-daughter style interview (not to worry... our coiffed hair. hunky, wonderful heart-of-gold Rad will be rejoining the podcast next week).

But this interview isn't with just any dad - joining us in today's episode is one of our most requested guest recommendations from Instagram - the father of "A Girl You Might Know"! He is a practicing general surgeon who started his career as a trauma surgeon, which is the reason why he has been a part of some of the most miraculous human moments. He not only means a lot to us, but he also means a lot to those he has helped, and those whose lives he saved throughout his career.

Join us as he shares stories from the hospital, the wisdom he gained while working with different types of patients, advice on raising kids, and his secret to happiness and fulfillment in a marriage (43 years and going strong!).

If you are just dipping your toe into entrepreneurship and don't know where or how to start, or if you already have a business that's in need of a boost... or if you just need a fierce female to be in your corner.. we have just the person for you.

In this podcast we speak with Stephanie Cartin, the Co-CEO & founder of Socialfly, a social first digital and influencer agency. She is also the Co-Author of "Like, Love, Follow: The Entreprenista's Guide to Using Social Media To Grow Your Business,” and the Co-Host of the Entreprenista Podcast. Stephanie is an all-around inspirational force of fabulousness when it comes to making the world a better place for other women. On top of all of her business successes, she is also an amazing mother who has openly shared her complicated pregnancy on social media so others going through the same struggle wouldn't feel alone.

Join us as we dig in to learn more about Stephanie's journey, what she's working on now, and her advice to others who are starting a business, including industry tips and what she would have done differently along the way.

Changes are coming (and we're not just talking about Rad's hair, although we do talk plenty about the “reversed” coiffed elephant in the room, because well... we have to). We've enjoyed our stay over the last year in Lake Tahoe but we've decided it's time to shake things up by changing our surroundings and pursuing some fresh opportunities. We are all affected by the setting in which we live and feel you get to know yourself better through diversity in experiences, so we are very much looking forward to what the future holds for us in a new state. Saddle up for a long ride (at least in Rad's case) - it's time to manifest the positive. Where exactly are we moving to? Tune in to find out!

Everyone has different interests and passions in life, but is it possible they can be turned into meaningful side hustles? In this podcast we talk about the reasons why side ventures can be super fulfilling, how they can lead to potential new opportunities, and how you can find time in your busy schedule to start and manage them. We also address the criticisms that side hustles face and how to avoid the negativity that may surround your attempt at a new venture.

In our effort be as helpful to other creatives as possible and as transparent to our followers as we can be, we answer your latest questions about the ongoing lawsuit involving "A Girl You Might Know", and now, Conrad as well.

Although this has been an extremely rough time for us, our beacon of light throughout all of this has been the messages of support we have received from you. Even though life isn't always sunshine and rainbows, there's a lot for which to be grateful, and we know how important it is, especially now, to focus on the positive over the negative. With that thought in mind, we round out the episode with helpful ideas on keeping a healthy mindset when you are going through a rough time

Building a business doesn't happen overnight. But safe to say, if you don't start somewhere, it will never happen. A freelance makeup artist early in her career, Bobbi Brown started in the trenches of the beauty industry before working her way to the top of her own business empire. Now a successful entrepreneur, a bestselling author, and a public speaker, Bobbi Brown shows how far a vision and strong work ethic can take you in your career.

In this podcast we discuss Bobbi's new venture, Jones Road, which was born from the idea that every product should be a hero product - that makeup should be clean, and should enhance rather than alter. Bobbi also weighs in on what the idea of beauty means to her, her experiences building - and selling - a company, her internal emotional struggle after stepping away from her namesake business, and most notably, how important it is to stay true to yourself throughout the journey.

If you've ever went searching for something that turned out to be right next to you - like, say, your dog Winnie, who was actually laying next to your desk when you got up to go look for her (true story) - you may need to take a moment, refocus, and work on mindfulness. Raising your level of mindfulness can help you be healthier and happier (and can save you time searching for your... *ahem*..."lost" dog). In this podcast we discuss the concept of mindfulness and why it's important, and serve up useful tips and tricks on how to stay mindful throughout the day.
