Hello Friends! Today we have an insightful episode & dare I say, one of my favorite episodes yet.

Ginger Rothhaas, from my hometown of KC,  is an author and the founder of Compassion Fix, a therapy and coaching practice focused on learning, healing & thriving. She’s the author of Being Human: 150 Practices to Make it Easier and is currently doing research on her next book! She’s a spark of joy and has changed the lives of thousands of people (: 

In the episode, we focus on a deceptively simple question: what is purpose? We talk about why so many people feel disconnected from meaning, how self-compassion plays a central role in clarity and direction, and what it looks like to stop outsourcing your worth to external validation (raising my hand for the insecure, overachievers out there). Please let us know in the comments if you have feedback. Hope you enjoy!

Hellllllo friends -

Newsflash: our world needs more hosts.. matter of fact, it's starving for hosts. You are suited to be (or become) a phenomenal host. I've hosted hundreds of events now and put together a mini 'starter pack' to talk through how resistance manifests, lessons of simplicity & other tips. Lessons I wished I learned much, much sooner. If you get in the habit of hosting, you will develop a skill that carries massive weight in today's society.. & more importantly, leads to a more fruitful life. Go HANG (:

• Greet guests at the door - create safety
• Host with a focus (your event / experience should not be for everyone; it should polarize)
• Event structure is crucial and allows for more vulnerability.. the weed wacker!!
• Connect guests immediately following events (not doing so means guests have to exchange their own info & is disrupting)
• Communicate what 'offline' means
• High vs. low expectations.. build trust you will deliver
• Reduce hurdles, show up consistently

Big love.

10 lessons from the year of reinvention.. Poured my heart into this episode. It was the most challenging year of my life but I will be forever grateful for the development, learnings & deeper relationships cultivated as a result.. Using these lessons as motivation to add fuel to the fire for 2026. I haven’t been this excited & motivated in my life. Thank you for those of you that supported & showed up along this journey. For those of you on your own path, I see you and am with you. Step by step, enjoy the climb 💙

We are baaaack! Welcome to At the Table. Today we have Rachel Liverman (Instagram / Glowbar) joining the show. Rachel is the Founder & CEO of Glowbar, a 30-minute facial membership concept that has scaled to be one of the fastest growing skincare brands in the US. 

In the episode, we talk about Rachel’s early exposure to entrepreneurship, the failed and cringeworthy ideas that came before Glowbar (but that were absolutely necessary), and the keys to believing in something long before anyone else does.. She shares how Glowbar survived the pandemic with just one location, how she raised capital, and the pillars of leadership & culture that became the foundation for long-term growth.

This conversation is about faith in the process, resilience as a daily practice and building something meaningful. Rachel lives down the block and is a friend that is a dreamer. It was an absolute pleasure having her on. If you enjoyed the show (or have feedback), please leave us a comment. Feels good to be BACK. 

Big love.

Friends.. In this episode of Off the Top:

Learnings: i) The biggest lie I’ve told myself is that I need to ask for permission.. To chase my dreams & take real swings.. “Everything you want in life is on the other side of fear”, ii) ways to find comfort in boredom -> observing the subtleties of life in solitude, iii) the core ingredient of being interested vs. interesting.. (hint: you can learn something from every person you interact with)

Challenges: i) the battle of showing “authenticity” on Off the Top episodes.. Wanting to show both sides that are both positive & negative emotional states but at times feeling the weight of heavier dialogue, ii) producing more than I consume, which means I must restrict monkey brain or it wins.. always.

Wins: i) the core ingredients of a mastermind (accountability partner & celebrating the small wins), ii) prove to yourself you can do hard things.. Lessons from the quintessential iceberg (:

Eyes On: @tscheeelo intimate sets, a crowd of 15-25 folks enjoying music in what looks to be hyper-presence. Sometimes less is more (see: tiny desk by NPR)..

Extra Credit: this TV ad by Sony shook me.. 250k bouncy balls released down a hill in SF. Going beyond the expected to deliver a top-tier experience. Well done.

Friends, this week on Off the Top I discuss:

Learnings: Lessons from a hot dog stand.. Giving when it is hardest, expecting nothing in return. Stop keeping score.

Challenges: Using fear vs. reward as motivation.. "What's the best case scenario?"

Wins: "It's a different kind of awesome"

Eyes on: Craig Mod's Walk & Talks.. week long adventures with unique folks, one dinner topic every night.

Extra Credit: "Let's normalize giving advice to others that encourages their own inner wisdom over our idea of what's best for them" - Amber Lyon

Friends.. In this Parisian episode of Off the Top:

Learnings: “Did you really learn the lesson” - Shaan from MFM.. Many times we are lazy with our lessons learned, ensuring you are taking away the right lesson helps build the right framework; Nostalgia = Memory - Anxiety (cc: Tadz’s Trend Report / Lydia Keating), What if you decided you already won the game of life? How would that contribute to your level of contentment? 

Challenges: Negative self talk around short form content and how many ears the show is reaching.. Reminding myself that adding creative constraints and iteration + time is just the name of the game.

Wins: Experiential pod’ing at Storm King Art Museum

Extra Credit: Treat for you if you make it this far..

Welcome back to At the Table. Today’s guest is Isaac French, a builder and designer who turned five overgrown acres outside Waco into one of the most thoughtful microresorts in the country.

Isaac started as a bookkeeper. He had no architecture degree, no big team behind him BUT had a clear vision, a deep love for design & artistry, and the ability to dream.. That vision became Live Oak Lake, a Scandinavian-inspired retreat of seven cabins nestled around the water. Within 18 months, it was running at 94% occupancy, had a viral (and loyal) audience online, and 2 years later sold for $7 million.

In this episode, we talk about how he brought the project to life, the role of beauty and simplicity in hospitality, and the importance of carving your own path. Isaac also shares where he finds inspiration, hacks for building a space & the most important project he’s ever built (:

I have a lot of respect for Isaac. He’s a phenomenal storyteller & full of energy to inspire the masses.

Big love.

Friends.. In this episode of Off the Top, I discuss:

Learnings: Timothee nailed it.. "You can be the master of your fate, the captain of your soul.. but you have to realize life is coming from you not at you".. Choosing your hard and remembering it's shaping you into the person you will become.

Challenges: The patience game.. "slowly erupting" from Jermaine on 90 Proof. Focusing on your craft, business, development until its time and it chooses to be heard. Reminding myself not to focus on the outcomes.

Wins: As a recovering please pleaser, "clear is kind" is always top of mind.. A favorite from Mama Hav, quoted by Brene Brown.

Eyes on: The Network raises its pre-seed (website); major congrats to Andres and team.

Extra Credit: A hack that may or may not involve toes..

Big love.

Teammm - welcome back to At the Table. Today’s guest is LJ Troilo, a serial entrepreneur who lives at the intersection of business, wellness, technology, and human connection.

In this episode, we talk about the core lessons from our shared Vipassana meditation retreat, LJ’s path to building multiple companies, and why third spaces are essential in a world that’s becoming more & more isolated. We also explore how he’s thinking about solving the loneliness epidemic; not through products, but through intentional design, presence and.. hugs (:

LJ is one of the most unique thinkers & personalities we’ve had on the show. We grabbed a coffee right before recording, and while we were ordering he casually solved a Rubik’s cube sitting on the counter in under 90 seconds. A man of many talents but more importantly, a beautiful soul. Hope you enjoy.

Big love.
