 “I’ve always been one of those kids that didn’t fit in the box.”

No one will mistake Eugenia for a kid anymore, even if she did begin her adult career at the age of 13. Eugenia grew up in Russia at a time where food lines were the norm, history books were changing, and a lot of things didn’t add up. From an early age she questioned a lot of her teachers and started looking for truth, meaning, and a voice.

And then came modeling. Eugenia says it’s not something you can pursue, just the look you have and the Russian designer Slava Zaitzev thought she had a look for his brand and a few others. She was 13 years old.

At age 15 she became a true supermodel with contracts for Dior, L’Oreal, and Hermes. In her words she would wake up in planes from the Amazon Jungle to Shanghai, to the Sahara to New York”. Then at 23 Eugenis gave it all up to have a baby with a man she fell in love with.

Today Eugenia is a mother of 3, a Stand Up Comedian, and an actress. We had a honest discussion around the role that parenting played in helping her navigate an adult world at a young age. She acknowledges that she was offered shortcuts in return for doing certain things, but she always checked if it felt right and declined. She also offered her perspective as a mother of two sons. I didn’t mention it in the show but Eugenia is also the wife of the man who replaced Harvey Weinstein at Miramax.

The conversation hit on issues of stereotyping and had a laugh about her recent social media post titled “Blondes can read to.” Eugenia continues to defy efforts to have her fit in a box. As a stand up comedian she was strongly advised to dress down. She checked in with herself and that didn’t feel right. So fans of her upcoming comedy tour, Nobody’s Funny, can expect to see her glammed up.

This episode is all about the importance of creating a moral foundation for our children, finding the courage to defy conventional wisdom, and living a genuine life...a.k.a. Screw the Naysayers

Raise your hand if you’ve spent money on programs or services that provided little in the way of meaningful value to you or your business.

If you’re over the age of 30 and didn’t raise your hand I probably can’t help you. You’re either in denial or determined to do everything by yourself. The rest of us know what it feels like to see hard earned money slip through our fingers with no return. This reality is symptomatic of a huge problem with the digital economy.

In this episode I share with you 7 ways you can tell if you're being scammed. I draw my own experiences and insights from previous guests including Seth Godin, Corey Poirier, and Ron Malhotra.

 Have you ever wanted something so bad you could almost taste it? You know the feeling I’m talking about. You feel like you’ve been walking in a desert sun for hours. You’d do anything for a cold glass of water.

Brian Keating can tell you about that feeling. In 2014 Brian was on a quest to unlock one of cosmology’s biggest mysteries. He was part of a team of astronomers wielding BICEP2, the most powerful cosmology telescope ever made, who thought they’d glimpsed the spark that ignited the Big Bang! As a scientists Brian and his associates were trained to follow a process which included publishing their findings for fellow scientists to review.

But this was different. A Nobel Prize hung in the balance, and they needed to be first. They went public with a definitive statement. Millions around the world tuned in to the announcement. Then the rumours began to spread. Had these cosmologists truly read the cosmic prologue or, driven by ambition in pursuit of Nobel gold, had they been deceived by a galactic mirage? The later proved to be true.

Brian joined me to talk about his book, Losing the Nobel Prize. He honestly admits getting caught up in the chase and taking shortcuts. But he goes on to say that losing the Nobel Prize was also a great gift. He also provocatively argues that the Nobel Prize actually hampers scientific progress by encouraging speed and competition while punishing inclusivity, collaboration, and bold innovation.

We also got into a fascinating conversation about legacy and changes Brian would like to see in the ways we teach children about science.

You may not learn about the origin of the big bang, but this is a real discussion that will challenge you to think about the lens you use to see the world.
