Blake Mycoskie built one of the most recognizable purpose-driven brands in the world.Before TOMS, he was already a serial entrepreneur, launching businesses ranging from a college laundry service to online driver’s education. Then a trip to Argentina inspired an idea that would change his life: sell one pair of shoes and give another pair to someone who needed them.TOMS started with just $3,000 and grew into a global phenomenon, eventually giving away more than 100 million pairs of shoes.But while the company was exploding, Blake says he was quietly struggling.In this deeply personal conversation with Rachel Uchitel, Blake opens up about the pressure to constantly achieve, the external validation that never made him feel like he was enough, the effect that struggle had on his marriage, and the depression that followed the sale of TOMS.He also shares his experience being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, why he believes that diagnosis was incorrect, what happened after he began taking medication, and how close he came to ending his life before finding a psychiatrist who helped him begin rebuilding.Blake explains how confronting his own core wounds changed the way he approaches business, relationships and fatherhood, including the emotional conversation he eventually had with his children about the pressure he believes he unintentionally passed down to them.Today, Blake is still building companies, but he says success no longer determines his worth.He also talks about the Enough movement, his mental-health work, his podcast No Magic Pill, and a new business created alongside his daughter Charlie.This is the story behind the success story.Blake Mycoskie:https://blakemycoskie.com/Official site for Blake’s latest work, projects and writing.ENOUGH:https://blakemycoskie.com/enoughLearn more about Blake’s ENOUGH movement and bracelets supporting mental-health organizations.No Magic Pill Podcast:https://nomagicpill.com/Blake’s podcast featuring candid conversations about mental health, purpose and healing.Listen / Watch No Magic Pill:https://nomagicpill.com/subscribeLinks to Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.Morning Water:https://blakemycoskie.com/morning-waterLearn more about Morning Water, the daily wellness product Blake discusses in the episode.Blake’s Socials & Contact:https://blakemycoskie.com/connectInstagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, X and Blake’s Substack can all be found here.TOMS:https://www.toms.com/--- --- ---Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?

Harry Dubin is back with Rachel Uchitel to break down Episode 2 of The Golden Life — and this time, the recap gets personal.As Sonja Morgan’s behavior, her history with Luann, and her mysterious new boyfriend take center stage, Harry brings more than just an opinion. He’s known Sonja for more than 30 years, dated women in this circle, attended Luann and Tom D’Agostino’s wedding, and has plenty of off-camera stories of his own.Harry reveals the wild way he first tracked Sonja down after meeting her in Washington, D.C., weighs in on her lack of boundaries, gives his unfiltered take on Ramona Singer, explains why he believes Luann has a history of going after Sonja’s men, and casually reveals that Dorinda Medley once threw a shoe at him.Plus, Rachel shares what Tom recently told her about Sonja’s claims that he was “hers first,” Harry talks about his own marriage to Aviva Drescher, and he has a very specific reaction to Sonja announcing she has a boyfriend.Another episode of The Golden Life. Another 30 years of history for Harry to unpack.--- --- ---Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?

Carl and Laura Lentz are speaking publicly about infidelity, forgiveness and rebuilding their marriage again with the release of their new book, Overcoming Infidelity.But there is another person whose life became part of that very public story. In 2023, Rachel sat down with Ranin Karim, the woman whose relationship with former Hillsong NYC pastor Carl Lentz became one of the biggest scandals surrounding the megachurch.Now, with Carl and Laura telling their story again, Ranin has provided a new statement about the conversation happening today. We’re bringing back Rachel’s original interview because her perspective feels just as relevant now as it did then. Ranin takes Rachel inside how she says she met Carl without initially knowing who he was, when she discovered he was married, how their relationship continued, and the private conversations she says they had as everything began to unravel. She also opens up about being labeled “the mistress,” why she ultimately decided to speak publicly, the Hillsong culture surrounding Carl, and why she believes accountability extends far beyond one affair. At one point, Ranin says Carl told her not to worry because her name was being buried. Her response became much bigger than the scandal itself: she wasn’t going to allow someone else to decide how her story would be told. This is an encore presentation of Rachel’s 2023 conversation with Ranin Karim, newly introduced with Ranin’s response to the conversation surrounding Carl and Laura Lentz today.--- --- ---Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?

Kurt Cobain’s death was ruled a suicide in 1994.More than three decades later, Michelle Wilkins believes the case deserves another look.Michelle is the creator behind Who Killed Kurt?, a project dedicated to reexamining the circumstances surrounding Cobain’s death through witness accounts, forensic analysis, public records and the original investigation.In this episode, she sits down with Rachel Uchitel to explain why she believes the official story leaves major questions unanswered.Michelle walks Rachel through the account of a man who says he was at Cobain’s Seattle home the night he died, the amount of heroin found in his system, questions surrounding the shotgun and shell casing, the controversial final lines of the note found at the scene, and an outside pathologist’s interpretation of the autopsy.She also explains how her team brought a large body of research to the Seattle Police Department and why their goal is not to have police simply accept a homicide theory, but to reopen the case and examine the evidence again.Rachel goes into the conversation knowing very little about the decades of speculation surrounding Cobain’s death.By the end, she has a lot more questions.Was the original investigation thorough enough?Does the physical evidence support the official narrative?And after all these years, is it time to take another look at what really happened to Kurt Cobain?This episode discusses disputed claims and theories surrounding Kurt Cobain’s death. His death was officially ruled a suicide, and allegations discussed in this conversation are not findings of fact.  WavyTalk: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=105835&awinaffid=2619464&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwavytalk.com%2F--- --- ---Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?

Earlier this year, Rachel sat down with Ann Marie Farino for an unforgettable conversation about her son Richard, addiction, suicide, grief and the difficult journey toward finding joy again.Today, we’re bringing that conversation back for a very special reason.Ann Marie’s memoir, Chronic Chaos: A Son’s Addiction, A Mother’s Love, and Her Quest to Find Joy, is now available.Rachel was honored to provide an endorsement for the book, and with its release, we wanted to revisit the conversation that introduced so many Miss Understood listeners to Ann Marie and Richard’s story.Richard was funny, charming, rebellious and endlessly capable of creating what Ann Marie affectionately calls “shenanigans.”But underneath that larger-than-life personality was a young man struggling with his mental health and addiction.His journey took his family through marijuana, opioids, heroin, treatment programs, wilderness programs, an overdose, the criminal justice system and even an unbelievable encounter in which the FBI approached Richard about going undercover with an anarchy group.Eventually, Richard got sober.For the final three years of his life, he remained sober, built a career, fell in love and became engaged.From the outside, things finally seemed to be moving in the right direction.“There were no red flags. There were green flags,” Ann Marie tells Rachel.The night before his death, Richard sent his mother a photo and told her, “It’s a great day.”The following day, at 24 years old, Richard died by suicide.Ann Marie opens up about the call that changed her life, the guilt and questions that can follow suicide, the work of grief therapy, learning how to get out of bed again, the signs she believes Richard continues to send her and the moment she began allowing herself to experience joy without guilt.She also explains how helping other people through loss became part of her own healing and ultimately part of her purpose.That journey is now told in full in Chronic Chaos, a memoir about a son’s addiction, a mother’s enduring love and what it means to build a life after unimaginable loss.This is an encore presentation of Rachel Uchitel’s conversation with Ann Marie Farino, released in celebration of Chronic Chaos, available now.BUY CHRONIC CHAOS:Amazon:

Matt Easton knows how to sell.But this conversation is not really about sales.It’s about the tiny interactions that can change your career, your relationships and the way people respond to you.Matt joins Rachel Uchitel to explain the “cheat codes” he believes most people are missing when it comes to confidence, communication and getting what you want without manipulating anyone.His philosophy started long before he became a sales coach. Matt grew up with a single mother who made roughly $4,000 a year. As a child, he struggled to read and believed he wasn’t smart. Then a chance interaction with a salesman driving the exact Porsche Matt dreamed about changed the way he saw the world.From buying business cards for companies that didn’t exist, to throwing a rave despite never having attended one, to figuring out how to get into a nightclub every weekend without owning a car, Matt built his life around one question: how can I make someone else’s life better while solving the problem in front of me?Rachel and Matt talk about why ego can destroy opportunity, the difference between confidence and arrogance, why most people have forgotten how to communicate, how simply asking can change your dating life, why small everyday interactions matter more than we realize and how Matt believes AI should actually be used.And yes, there are sales lessons.But Matt’s bigger argument is that every interaction is an opportunity to practice how you move through the world.Because life may not be fair.But according to Matt, there are cheat codes. Easton University: https://www.eastonuniversity.com/ WavyTalk: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=105835&awinaffid=2619464&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwavytalk.com%2F--- --- ---Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?

Earlier this year, Rachel sat down with Maddie Kowalski for one of the most raw conversations we’ve had on Miss Understood.We’re bringing that interview back because the questions at the center of Maddie’s story have not gone away.Maddie was a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Florida when private videos of her were posted online without her consent. Within hours, her name was trending, the videos were being downloaded and reposted, and millions of strangers were dissecting, judging and making assumptions about a young woman they had never met.Maddie talks with Rachel about being under the influence, what she remembers from that night, watching the videos spread in real time, and the difference between consenting to a sexual act and consenting to being filmed or having that footage shared publicly.She also opens up about the aftermath: withdrawing from school, harassment directed at her family, struggling to leave her apartment, losing trust in people around her and trying to figure out how to return to a normal life after the internet had turned her into a viral story.Months later, Maddie was back at school and taking things day by day.As conversations about consent, campus culture and accountability continue across the country, we wanted to revisit Maddie’s interview and let her tell her story in her own words.This is an encore presentation of Rachel Uchitel’s conversation with Maddie Kowalski.--- --- ---Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?

From the outside, Venus Griffin appeared to have the perfect life.She and her husband were raising six children in Augusta, Georgia. They were PTA presidents, sat front row at church every Sunday, and were known around town as the “Ken and Barbie of Augusta.”Behind closed doors, Venus says her marriage was becoming increasingly abusive.Then a phone call in the middle of the night began unraveling everything.A woman told Venus she was involved with her husband. Venus went to meet her convinced she could prove his innocence. Instead, it became the beginning of a series of revelations that would ultimately end her marriage and lead to her husband being convicted and sentenced to 45 years in prison.Suddenly, Venus was raising six children, living in a two-bedroom house and trying to rebuild a family dealing with trauma, shame and financial uncertainty.Her first year selling real estate, Venus made $20,000 while working 70-hour weeks.Seven years later, she was grossing seven figures.Rachel Uchitel sits down with Venus to unpack the story behind the life that once looked perfect, why she stayed as long as she did, the guilt she carried afterward, the extraordinary way she rebuilt financially, and why she believes forgiving herself was harder than forgiving anyone else.Her new book, The Other Side of Perfect, turns the story she once worked desperately to hide into a roadmap for women who feel trapped, ashamed or convinced there is no way forward.https://www.venusmorrisgriffin.com/book--- --- ---Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?
