People buy insurance for two reasons:

Matt Harms went out on a limb after a successful but all-consuming corporate career to bring you experience #2.

We've all heard the saying that the riches are in the niches. Holly Freeman is the first to acknowledge how niche her many interests are. But she offers us a twist: Go all in on your passion for a niche, and you'll find connection. And where connection happens, success follows. In other words: love it out loud, and they will come. Hear how serial entrepreneur Holly turned an attempt to cope with 2020 and fill an empty storefront into a thriving houseplant shop business. A business that puts her family first while gathering plant lovers, introverts, and first-time and re-emerging creatives to build a community.

Have you ever tried to address an issue with your health and ended up running from one specialist to the next? You know that somehow it should be easier and better than this. These things should work together for you, right? It turns out it's not just the patients who think that. It's also the providers. Brittany Ryan, a physical therapist, and Lydia Fowler, a registered dietitian nutritionist, are two who did something about it. Together they run Climb Performance Therapies, helping their clients address their diagnoses and health concerns from the inside out *and* from the outside in. Listen as they share a story of hope for change in how we heal, feel, and live.

Kevin Latta may work in a small firm, but he has big ideals. He's taking phone calls, running from meeting to meeting, and fighting red tape like every other small business owner. But then he's arguing constitutional issues, holding the line on our system of justice, and committing to empathy in the face of brutal circumstances that most of us do not encounter. Hear how Kevin's work is just like yours—and nothing like yours—and why that should thrill all of us.

* *A note about this episode: Due to the nature of his work, Kevin mentions concepts that may not be appropriate for a younger audience. If you are listening with children present, I suggest headphones or saving this episode for another time.

Bethaney Nielsen isn't just a pediatric physical therapist or the co-owner of Villages Child Development; she's also a mom. Her superpower is being able to look at motherhood, child development, healthcare, wellness, community, and business through *both* of those lenses. Bethaney doesn't just see things as they are: she sees what could be, what needs to be, and what will be with her—and our—consistent, incremental efforts. And she's ready to strategize a way forward and celebrate each step along the path.

When I sat down to talk with Megan White—a pilates, dance, and movement instructor and owner of Movement Lab in Columbia, Tennessee—I thought I would learn more about how movement benefits our bodies, and I did. But that was only the beginning. Megan shares with us how her childhood steeped in dance, where her curiosity was encouraged, eventually led her to start multiple businesses. Through entrepreneurship, Megan has been able to share with her clients not only the freedom of movement that Pilates brings but the freedom to explore, adapt, and grow at any life stage.
