When McKenzie Bauer’s boyfriend lost his wallet, he struggled to replace it - everything was big, bulky or boring. After marrying in 2015, they raised some $60,000 from Kickstarter and launched Thread Wallets with a line of slim, stylish wallets that can be attached to a keychain, lanyard or phone. They’ve since expanded into other accessories, like lip balm holders and crossbody bags. They sell their products in 600 stores like Zumiez and Scheels, plus create corporate swag for Coca-Cola and Qualtrics.McKenzie’s goal is to empower individuals to ‘carry on’ through both the products she sells and the lifestyle she promotes. Since the early days, she gravitated toward the marketing aspects of our business and ran as the CMO until the spring of 2021 when she stepped back to pursue personal projects and to focus on family. In the years that she was CMO, Thread was ranked one of the fastest growing companies in Utah and appeared twice on the INC. 500.McKenzie is a fearless advocate for women’s equality and today we talk A LOT about the power of networking, masterminding, and getting women together to inspire one another. If you are a woman who needs a burst of energy and motivation to go after something you really believe in, this episode is tailored just for you.

Kori Andrews is a full time seminary teacher, speaker, and founder of Hi5Live, a community with weekly lives on spiritual motivational topics. Kori bravely shared his story of having a baby in the NICU at primary children’s hospital when I met him a couple summers ago at aspen grove family camp in Utah, where we were both speaking. His baby has since passed away, but the beautiful lessons that Kori shared through that experience have touched me so much that I really wanted him to share his experience with you here too. As he relives the experience of his “last cupcake girl,” the nickname they gave this baby girl Kamryn, he also shares how his belief in God and the atonement of Jesus Christ carried him through it all.

Last week a dear friend of ours, and a friend of the podcast, Andre, lost his mother unexpectedly. We were able to be there online with him, to mourn with him as he mourned. This led to us talking about why we are asked in the scriptures, and in our church as a covenant with God, to mourn with those who mourn. We share some personal experiences also when others have done this well for us, and how you can the next time you know someone who is going through loss or grief.

Lily Shimbashi has always loved sports… ish. After growing up with a father in professional sports and four brothers who played, the sports world felt natural for Lily. She had little girl dreams of becoming a sports reporter, the next, Erin Andrews as she liked to say. After graduating college in sports broadcasting, Lily got her first job for an NBA team as a broadcast assistant. It was one night watching James Harden play wondering which Kardashian he had dated that Lily realized she digested sports very differently than those around her. The sports media that she had grown up with was driven by, catered to and consumed by males and she was ready to change that. She dreamed of a world where she could bring sports to women in a way that they actually cared about. In 2021, Lily launched Sportsish, a sports media platform aimed towards women and their unique specific interests. Sportsish makes sports cute, fun and easy.

Lily lives in New York City with her husband Ashton and two kids, George and Rosie, and I have to tell you we had SO MUCH FUN recording this episode last week! This was before we knew Taylor’s boyfriend would win the second Super Bowl in a row, but I promise that even if you’re not a chief’s fan, you will love hearing Lily’s take on why women should have a seat at the table when it comes to talking sports, watching sports and being part of the game.
