What happens when you stop following the “expected path”… and start following your heart instead?

In this episode of Changing the Rules, hosts Ray Loewe and Mary Ann Steinhauer sit down with Anna Brooke—better known to audiences as Rev. Legs Malone. With a Master’s Degree in Contemporary Art, Anna seemed destined for the traditional art world. But something didn’t fit. So she made a bold pivot—from galleries to the stage—and reinvented herself as a burlesque performer in London’s underground scene.

From her debut at the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club to touring across the U.S. and Western Europe, and becoming a staple of New York City’s vibrant burlesque community, Legs Malone built a life fueled by creativity, courage, and authenticity.

But this story isn’t just about performance—it’s about purpose.

Today, as Rev. Legs Malone, Anna reflects on the deeper meaning behind her choices, the consequences of living boldly, and why—now more than ever—listening to your inner voice matters.

This is a conversation about reinvention, identity, and the powerful (and sometimes risky) act of choosing your own path.

Because sometimes, the most meaningful life isn’t the one you planned…

…it’s the one you dared to create.

What if project management wasn’t just about timelines and deliverables…

…but about storytelling, inspiration, and living life on your terms?

Dawn Mahan is one of the “Luckiest People in the World”—and she’s earned it. A globally recognized project management expert, she’s built a career in demand around the world while intentionally designing a life that includes family, travel, and even early “retirement” planning in Key West.

In her latest book, Projectland Goes to the Movies, Dawn taps into the power of film to teach leadership lessons that stick:

How to kick off projects the right way (The Great Escape)

How to build trust and avoid sabotage (The Italian Job)

How to anticipate risk before it derails everything (Star Wars)

Because whether you’re managing a project… or your life…

You’re telling a story.

What kind of story are you creating?

“Most of us think of a watch as something that tells time.

But what if a watch actually holds time?

Today’s guest owns more than 60 watches—not because he needs them, but because each one tells a different story.

A wedding… a moment he felt successful… a memory of his father…

And it made me think about my own watch—an Omega Seamaster I bought in Europe in 1969, when I didn’t have much money… but I had a moment I didn’t want to forget.”

What if wine wasn’t just something you drink… but something you experience?

In this episode of Changing the Rules, we sit down with Justina Latura, owner of the Vine Bar in Lancaster, PA—one of the Luckiest People in the World who has built a life around her passion for food, wine, and connection.

For Justina, wine is more than a beverage.

It’s relaxation.

It’s adventure.

It’s conversation.

It’s a way to build relationships—and a doorway into stories worth telling.

Her journey takes her beyond Lancaster and into the heart of Italy, where she immerses herself in the culture, the flavors, and the philosophy of La Dolce Far Niente—the sweetness of doing nothing. And then… she brings that experience home to share with her community.

Because for Justina, the magic isn’t just in the wine—

it’s in the story behind it.

Pull up a chair, pour a glass, and discover how slowing down might just be the key to living—and connecting—more fully.

For many people, the word “improv” triggers: “I have to be funny.” “I have to perform.” "I might be embarrassed," “I’m not an actor.” But Impied Improv keeps the spirit of improv but removes the “acting” pressure, and it helps - Spontaneous Communication - Creative Collaboration - Dynamic Dialogue - Connection - Communication Gym (fun, growth-oriented) - ALL IN THE FORM OF PLAYING GAMES WITH A PURPOSE.

Hearing loss can slowly and sneakily impede your relationships. You don't know you're

not hearing what you're not hearing. When your ears aren't functioning properly, you're not getting information to the brain. It's the brain that actually interprets those hearing impulses and turns them into action. New hearing aid and hearing testing technologies have made and continue to make giant strides in hearing improvement. You need to put a good audiologist on your medical team. Not just one who will sell you new hearing aids.
