Imagine the dedication and initiative it takes to turn a small blog into a multimillion-dollar media brand. We know it’s not easy, but the habits and hustle required may surprise you. This is what I dive into in this episode with former CEO of Barstool Sports, Erika Ayers Badan.  We discuss how Erika transitioned from leading roles at Barstool to her current position at Food52, the importance of authenticity, learning from failures, and how to cut through information overload. We also discuss the traits that foster success, like persistence, generosity, likability, and hard work compared to “coddle culture” which leaves detrimental effects.  Ranked one of the most influential executives in digital innovation, sports, entertainment, and lifestyle media, Erika Ayers Badan is the CEO of Food52 and the former CEO of Barstool Sports. During her tenure at Barstool from 2016 to 2024, Erika transformed the organization from a regional blog to a national powerhouse operation leading to a 5,000% increase in overall revenue, making it one of the most innovative and successful internet media brands.

Carl Lentz was the face of Hillsong, a global mega-church, and was the A-List pastor of choice for celebs such as Justin Bieber, Chris Pratt, Bono, Nick Jonas, and power siblings Kendall and Kylie Jenner. But Lentz's larger-than-life persona and good looks, preaching about family and honesty, was nothing more than a facade. Beneath it lay a sordid web of adultery and lies that brought everything tumbling down when his mistress, New York City jewelry designer Ranin Karim, revealed Lentz’s dirty little secrets to the world. Lentz was where the cracks started, but eventually, we see the shocking realities of this global megachurch's descent into scandal all the way to the top of the chain of command. Today, we bring you the woman at the center of this shocking scandal, as Ranin opens up on our show to set the record straight about her role in this controversy and discusses the never-before-heard details of her secret affair with Carl Lentz.

Tonight, I take you on a journey along the Silk Road. We explore how and why this route or network from China to the Mediterranean opened at the time of the Han Dynasty and Ancient Rome.Given the distances and costs, long distance trade was limited to light, expensive and exotic goods, like silk, glassware, fine crafts, perfumes and spices. It adapted to changes over centuries: the rise and fall of dynasties in China, the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and the struggles of Byzantium, the Muslim conquest, the Mongol invasion, the rise of Italian merchant republics...I also tell you about how the Black Death epidemic spread along the Silk Road in the 14th Century and the rediscovery of land routes to the Far East by European travelers of the Middle Ages, especially Marco Polo.
