If your team is growing, you've probably asked some version of this question: How do we hold on to what makes this place special? Danny Meyer spent years trying to answer it, until he realized it was the wrong question. Danny is the founder of Union Square Hospitality Group and Shake Shack, and he has spent 40 years building some of the most admired hospitality businesses in the world. His new book, What Could Possibly Go Right?, is a candid look at the mistakes that taught him the most. In this conversation, Danny shares his simple equation for culture: the sum of the behaviors you celebrate, minus the behaviors you tolerate. We talk about why kind leaders give the feedback nice leaders avoid, why culture has to evolve as you grow, and how to lead people through change they didn't sign up for. If you want to build a team where your best people are asking, "Why would I want to work anywhere else?" this conversation is a great place to start.

We all have conversations we know we should have, but keep putting off. Maybe it feels too small to bring up, or we worry that saying something will only make it worse. But avoiding the conversation rarely makes the issue go away. According to conflict resolution facilitator Priya Parker, the conversations we avoid are often the ones we need most. In fact, the right kind of conflict can actually bring us closer. Priya is the author of the new book The Art of Fighting, and she's spent her career helping people get better at navigating conflict instead of running from it. In this conversation, Priya explains why healthy conflict can build trust and shares practical tools for approaching difficult conversations. If there's a conversation you know you need to have, this might be the nudge you need to finally have it.

What does it take to stay hungry when you've already reached the top?

Kerri Walsh Jennings is the most decorated beach volleyball player of all time. She's a five-time Olympian, three-time gold medalist, and one of the most dominant athletes of all time.

But what fueled that level of sustained greatness wasn't just a desire to win. Kerri loved the work it took to get there.

In this conversation, we talk about how she maintained her drive and intensity for so long, how she learned to manage pressure and her inner critic, and why she now thinks of hard moments as reps instead of tests.

We also talk about motherhood and ambition, navigating loss after years of dominance, and separating your identity from your achievements.

Whether you're chasing a big goal or simply trying to get better, Kerri's perspective is a powerful reminder that lasting success isn't just about reaching the destination. It's about learning to love the pursuit.

Have you ever been told you're too sensitive?

Maybe you take things too personally, overthink, or have a hard time letting things go. According to psychiatrist and ADHD specialist Dr. Sasha Hamdani, some of us are simply wired to process emotions more intensely. And that sensitivity isn't necessarily a weakness.

In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Sasha to talk about why some people feel things more deeply and how to better navigate those emotions without letting them take over.

We talk about why our brains can turn small moments into big stories and what to do when you feel yourself start to spiral. We also explore how those same qualities can make you more empathetic, perceptive, and emotionally intelligent.

And even if you don't identify as sensitive, you'll learn how to better understand and communicate with the people in your life who process emotions differently than you do.

Why do some people rise to the occasion under pressure while others tighten up?

Whether it's a big presentation or a job interview, pressure has a way of making us tighten up and second-guess ourselves. We think the goal is to eliminate stress. But what if that's actually not the best approach?

In this conversation, I sit down with performance expert Steve Magness to talk about why pressure isn't the enemy and how the best performers learn to use it to their advantage.

We talk about the difference between stress and pressure and the practical tools you can use to quiet your inner critic and perform at your best when the stakes are high.

By the end of this conversation, you'll think differently about pressure and walk away with practical strategies you can use the next time you find yourself in a high-pressure moment.

Why do so many high achievers burn out? Most of us think recovery is what happens after the work is done. We push through the week, take care of everyone else, and tell ourselves we'll slow down later. But according to Dr. Kristen Holmes, Global Head of Human Performance at WHOOP, recovery isn't separate from high performance. It's an essential part of it. In this conversation, I sit down with Kristen to unpack the science behind sustainable high performance and why recovery plays a much bigger role than most of us realize. We talk about why sleep consistency matters more than sleep duration, the habits that have the biggest impact on our energy, and how to stop running on empty. By the end of this conversation, you'll have a new way of thinking about recovery and practical strategies to put into practice right away.

Are you so busy getting through your life that you're never fully present for it? We rush from one thing to the next, convinced that if we can just get ahead, clear the to-do list, or better optimize our time, we'll finally have space to enjoy the life we've worked so hard to build. But that moment never seems to come. In this conversation, I sit down with Oliver to unpack how we can rethink our relationship with time and be more intentional about where our attention goes. We talk about why high achievers feel perpetually behind, how our need for control fuels anxiety, and why accepting our limitations can actually be freeing. By the end of this conversation, you'll think differently about time and walk away with a more freeing way to pursue big goals while being present for the life you're living now.

So many high-performing women take care of themselves, stay active, and make healthy choices, yet still find themselves wondering: Why don't I feel better? According to Dr. Stacy Sims, one of the world's leading experts on female physiology and performance, part of the reason is that most of the health and fitness advice women follow is based on research conducted on men. In this conversation, I sit down with Stacy to unpack what women actually need to support their energy, performance, and long-term health. We talk about the biggest misconceptions surrounding women's health, why strength training matters more than ever after 40, the truth about fasting and cardio, and how to think differently about sleep, recovery, longevity, and overall well-being.

If you had more time, would you finally be happier? Most of us believe the answer is yes. We tell ourselves that if we could just clear our calendars, get through the to-do list, or find a few extra hours in the day, we'd feel less stressed and more fulfilled. But according to UCLA professor and bestselling author Dr. Cassie Holmes, that's not how it works. In this conversation, I sit down with Cassie to unpack the surprising science of time and happiness. We explore why so many high performers feel constantly rushed, the hidden costs of "time poverty," and why having more free time doesn't necessarily lead to greater fulfillment. By the end of this conversation, you'll think differently about time and walk away with practical strategies to feel less overwhelmed and more fulfilled with the time you already have.

Why do so many talented teams still underperform?

The answer surprised me. Most people assume the answer is more collaboration, better chemistry, or simply working harder. But workplace psychologist and bestselling author Ron Friedman, author of the new book Superteams, says the highest-performing teams operate very differently.

In this conversation, I sit down with Ron to unpack the hidden habits that separate average teams from the great ones.

We talk about why too much collaboration can actually hurt performance, the surprising science behind smarter team decisions, and the small shifts leaders can make to help teams perform at a higher level.

Ron shares practical, research-backed strategies and challenges some of the myths keeping teams stuck and underperforming.

By the end of this conversation, you'll rethink what great teamwork actually looks like and walk away with actionable tools you can apply immediately with your own team.
