On this week's episode of ISA GAME podcast, Isa is joined by the multi-talented Toni Bravo. Based in Los Angeles, Toni is a content creator, roller skater, and, most recently, a social media associate in the beauty industry working for Rare Beauty.

Listen along as Isa and Toni discuss the parallels between roller skating and their career journeys (if you're not falling on your face, you’re not taking the risks you need to level up!), the importance of balancing passions and relaxation, and how social media expands and diversifies the term influencer.

Isa and Toni talk about their shared history as theater kids and how it’s translated into their careers, the evolution of personal style, and the hobby a psychic told Isa to pursue.

This week on ISA GAME, we are excited to sit down with author, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and podcaster Patrick McGinnis. Patrick is known for coining the word “FOMO” in 2004 (as well as his podcast FOMO Sapiens) and writing bestselling books like The 10% Entrepreneur.

After leaving his small town in Maine, Patrick attended Georgetown University. While in school, he studied abroad in Latin America, falling in love with the culture, which later led him to invest in Latin American companies that maximize human potential. Patrick is no stranger to traveling. As of the publishing date, he has been to 110 countries.

Listen to what may be the broadest array of topics yet. Patrick and ISA discuss the metaverse and its impending effect on society, the impact of FOMO on productivity, cancel culture, the importance of conscious and self-conscious alignment, Patrick’s first fashion show (Marchesa), and Issy’s very short-lived career in nightlife. ISA also coins her term “NOWstalgia”!

This week on ISA GAME Podcast, we welcome Kristen Ginn, the acting Creative Director for Seth Rogen's marijuana and lifestyle brand, Houseplant!

A genius, multifaceted artist known for her iconic handbag designs worn by celebrities like Lizzo and Kendall Jenner, she is also the creative brains behind Flower by Edie Parker. Kristen worked for brands, including Tory Burch and Coach, before leaping to Edie Parker and continuing her design ventures (like creating a handmade flute case for Lizzo).

As always, this week's word association leads to many topics that couldn't happen any other way. Kristen and Isa discuss the subconscious need to censor yourself after working for brands with such strong identities, the front we all put on for social media, Kristen’s former cheerleading career (she's sexy! She's cute! She's popular to boot!), weed, and the Spice Girls.

On the premiere episode of ISA GAME, we welcome Laurise Mcmillian, Content Strategist at Meta + Instagram and host of the Meta for Business podcast “Social Skills”.

Listen as Isa and Laurise discuss everything from the importance of the optimistic side of social media and a positive digital “diet” (instead of stalking your ex or comparing yourself to other people, utilize social media and consume content that benefits you!) and how Mcmillian wants to use her platform to help small businesses and female entrepreneurs make money.

Laurise and Isa then segway into the word association game, which creates a conversation that would be unlikely to happen any other way. Touching on NFTs, learning to adapt to the ever-changing social media landscape, and the marriage of the physical and digital, to at-home pottery, horseback riding, Lisa Frank, and Cheetos.
