A sisterly bond is like no other, and in the case of today's guests, their bond is practically a superpower. In this episode of WFU, Rachel & Rodger sit down with award-winning journalists and sisters, Lisa & Laura Ling. When Laura was captured in 2009 while reporting a story near the Chinese-North Korean border and sentenced to 12 years of hard labor, Lisa sprung into action and did not stop until her sister was released. They detailed their experience in the 2010 memoir that they co-wrote together, Somewhere Inside: One Sister's Captivity in North Korea and the Other's Fight to Bring Her Home. This episode is such a powerful story that proves that love has no bounds, so please this very special conversation. And if you have a sister of your own, hug her a little bit longer the next time you see her!

Today, Rachel and Rodger talk all things love, relationships, and family with NASCAR superstar, Jeff Gordon and his gorgeous wife, Ingrid Vandebosch. So much of relationship success has to do with timing, and Jeff and Ingrid actually met at a time that wasn’t ideal for starting a relationship. But with a lot of understanding and a little dash of fate, they ended up finding their way back to each other anyway.

In this laughter-filled episode, Jeff and Ingrid disagree on how they actually met the first time, which cracks Rachel & Rodger up. A car analogy helps Jeff recognize how special Ingrid is, and Ingrid finds a way to manage during quarantine with “Office Jeff”. This episode is so sweet and inspirational, so definitely give it a listen!

This week, Rachel & Rodger chat with entrepreneurial powerhouses and dear friends, Clea Shearer & Joanna Teplin! Clea & Joanna’s wildly successful home organization business,The Home Edit, started with a fateful lunch date that never ended. Now they have several books, a popular Netflix series, and a loyal client base that includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Kourtney Kardashian, and Neil Patrick Harris. And to think Joanna wasn’t interested in meeting Clea at first! 

These organizational wizzes dish about their tendency to bicker like an old married couple, the power of revealing an authentic side of your business, and the importance of balancing out your business partner’s strengths and weaknesses. While Clea & Joanna are both happily married (and NOT sister wives), they are clearly made for each other in a different kind of way. Listen to this episode and you’ll see that business partners turned friends can be a recipe for success.
