With this crucial election right around the corner, everyone at The Breakout agreed it’s a great time to re-share this interview with Maximina Juson, the director of the documentary, One Person, One Vote?

This is a beautiful film that examines America’s Electoral College Voting System, and who it really represents. The movie premiered  in September on PBS and it's streaming now on the PBS app. Follow @1person1votedoc on IG, FB & TikTok to stay updated. To host or attend an in person screening visit onepersononevote.co. And of course, check out our interview with the amazing Maximina Juson.

Summary:
“The electoral college is a real pain point for the electorate. They don’t understand it, and they don’t know why we have it in the first place…So that’s why I made this film.” That’s how Maximina Juson explains her motivation for making the extraordinary, and necessary, new documentary, One Person, One Vote? It's a film that takes a closer look at something that lots of Americans rarely question: the electoral college voting system.

If you’ve been listening to The Breakout for a while now, you’ll know that we love guests who question long-held systems or beliefs, and Maximina’s film does just that. One Person, One Vote? explores the electoral college’s not-so-equal representation and its racist origins rooted in protecting the power of slave owners. It’s a must-watch for anyone curious about our democracy. This episode originally dropped on Juneteenth, and we're rebroadcasting it right ahead of the 2024 American Elections - both are great moments to examine the realities of the system we use to elect our president.

In this episode, Maximina shares the perspective-shifting moments she had while making the documentary, especially her extraordinary experience when she found herself filming at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

About Maximina Juson
Maximina Juson is an award-winning filmmaker and founder of HUMovies, a film and video production company in Los Angeles. Her debut feature film, ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE? is a National Endowment for the Humanities grant recipient that world premiered at The 2024 Pan African Film Festival, taking home the Programmer's Award for Best Documentary Feature.

The day has finally come! Friends…our book is officially launched! Join us on today’s episode as we celebrate the book, vacillate from excitement to nausea, and look back on the incredible guests on The Breakout who inspired it all.

One of our amazing guests once said, “all these rules that have been taught to us? They were not bargained for collectively. We did not actually agree to them”.  She was actually talking about monogamy, but for us, that sentiment applies universally to every expectation we live by. It’s also a sentiment that serves as the starting point for our book, Whatever the Hell You Want. It’s a book about the unspoken expectations, the “I shoulds” that we live by, and the secret dreams we’ve tried to ignore.  But it’s also a guide for seeing those stifling boxes for what they are, pushing back on expectations, making changes and embracing the life you (yes, you) really want.

We know a thing or two about transformations and we know they're not easy. So we wanted to write a practical guide to help people make the changes they are aching to make. And in this episode we're looking back on some of the truly remarkable guests that have broken out of boxes, blown our minds, and inspired us to write the book everyone needs so they can break out themselves.

Episode Summary:
Swimming  has always been something that the black culture can do. Trust me, I've been to the Olympics. Team Nigeria, Team South Africa. It's a problem in the U.S. And it starts with the culture. We have to stop saying we don't swim. Yes. We. Do.
 
Olympic gold-medal winning swimmer Cullen Jones’ journey into the sport started with a near drowning when he was five-years old. The experience left him terrified of deep water – as soon as he couldn’t touch the floor he would panic. But his mother was adamant that her son learn how to swim and with incredible determination and against a lot of odds, Cullen  became one of the fastest in the world.

In this episode, Cullen takes us through his journey from being a kid scared to jump into the pool to facing racism at swim meets and going on to break a world record in swimming.  He tells us about Brad the instructor who taught him to love swimming and about the time Serena Williams gave him a shout of encouragement before a big race. Cullen also gets candid about the barriers he faced as an African American swimmer, what he is doing now to change the swimming narrative in the Black community, and his mission to ensure underserved communities learn the life-saving skill of swimming.

About Cullen Jones:
Cullen Jones is a four time Olympic medalist and the first African American to break a world record in swimming. As a member of Team USA, he made history by helping break world records and winning gold in the 4x100m freestyle relay at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in what many say was the most exciting race in Olympic History. Off the pool deck, he is a passionate advocate for water safety. Cullen serves as an ambassador and board member of the USA Swimming Foundation and works with GoldFish Swim School to help make swimming lessons more accessible to underserved communities.

When Trauma is Everywhere - Episode Summary:
“I had people say, ‘you still have your legs, what are you complaining about?’ It was the worst day of my life, and now people are feeling  open to tell me that that experience doesn't count”.

In 2013, two bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon, a short distance from where Manya Chylinski stood, cheering on the runners. Three people were killed that day, and hundreds were wounded, and while Manya had no physical injuries, she was one of countless bystanders who suffered incredible trauma for years afterwards. As an invisible victim of the attack, Manya was offered no support for her PTSD and zero validation of her experience. That's when she realized how pervasive and disregarded trauma really is, so she decided to change that.

In this episode, Manya shares her story of that terrifying day and why she left her career to start educating corporate audiences about compassionate, trauma informed leadership. Manya is on a mission to ensure that everyone is seen and supported in the place where we spend most of our waking hours: the workplace.

About Manya Chylinski
Manya is a keynote speaker and advocate. Her life took an unexpected turn when the Boston Marathon bombings left her with deep emotional scars and post-traumatic stress. Her healing journey led her to help individuals and organizations reimagine leadership with a focus on empathy and well-being.

A communication expert, Manya helps individuals and organizations understand the mental and emotional effects of trauma and build resilience during times of change and crisis. She has shared her wisdom on stages like SXSW and TEDx, on CBS, NPR, and in The Boston Globe.

Episode Summary:
“When you are a bully, when you're, when you're rich or powerful or influenced and you think you can get away with it, that's really when I come alive”.

Alreen Haeggquist has done something incredible with something incredibly awful.  As a child, she endured years of physical and sexual abuse at the hands of her father. When she finally got out, Alreen harnessed her anger, put herself through law school, and now advocates for women being harassed or abused in the workplace at her women's rights firm, Haeggquist and Eck.

In this episode, Alreen takes us through her breakout from victim to influential advocate. She tells us about the powerful book she wrote about her journey, and how confronting her father made it easy to take on one of today's biggest bullies, Donald Trump.

About Alreen Haeggquist
Alreen Haeggquist is a lawyer, survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and fierce advocate for those brave enough to stand up to their abusers in court. Over the last two decades, Alreen has fought for victims of abuse, harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and fraud in high-profile lawsuits. Her law firm, Haeggquist & Eck, has recovered millions of dollars for its clients-and plays a critical role in allowing victims to reclaim their narratives. Determined to break the cycle of abuse, Alreen shares her story of how she uses her trauma to help others get out of the darkness and reclaim their light.

“People who overwork - more than 55 hours a week - which is most Americans, will die younger. Not that it's correlated with early death. It causes it. This is serious”.

Celeste Headlee wants to start a revolution.

In her new book Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving, she’s asking out loud the question we’ve likely all been wondering: Why are we so obsessed with productivity and efficiency? Even when it's making us miserable?

Celeste is an award-winning author and broadcast journalist with NPR and PBS. She’s also a professional public speaker; her Ted Talk is one of the top ten most viewed talks with an impressive 30+ million views. In this episode, she analyzes our toxic relationships with work and what we can do about it. Celeste doesn’t mince words. With powerful research, and a tough love approach, this conversation is one of our favorites, and we’re confident it will be one of yours too.

About Celeste Headlee
Celeste Headlee is an internationally recognized journalist and radio host, professional speaker and author of bestselling book We Need To Talk: How To Have Conversations That Matter, Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving, Speaking of Race: Why Everyone Needs to Talk About Racism and How to Do It, and You’re Cute When You’re Mad: Simple Steps for Confronting Sexism. Her TEDx Talk, 10 Ways to Have a Better Conversation, has been viewed over 34 million times. Close to 50,000 talks have been given at 10,000 events since the TED program launched in 2009, and Celeste’s talk is one of the 10 most-watched talks posted on TED’s homepage.

“It was easy for me to say to people ‘your stories are valuable’ but when I would turn that lens on myself, I was tongue-tied and embarrassed.” As the founder of Wonderwell Press, a non-fiction publishing company, Maggie Langrick has been a champion of writers for years; in fact she was a huge influence in the development of Keri and Kelly’s upcoming book, Whatever the Hell You Want (coming in October!). 

But while Maggie was helping everyone else find their voice, she was actively repressing her own, because, as she tells us, she felt like it was “weird…in the wrong way”. So when a cancer diagnosis derailed her ambitious business plans, Maggie was forced to finally slow down. And that’s when she realized that she actually had a lot to say, if she would only stop discarding her ideas before she’d even explored them.

Today, Maggie is a writer, a podcast host, and a writing coach who helps people dig into their own creativity and discover the incredible power of losing the shame and telling their own stories. In this episode Maggie tells how she confronted her self-judgement and learned to listen to her own voice. She also shares what a “full-body ick” is really telling you.

About Maggie Langrick
Maggie Langrick is a writer, public speaker, media entrepreneur, and host of The Selfish Gift podcast. She is publisher at Wonderwell Press, which she founded in 2013. A hybrid publishing company, Wonderwell Press publishes nonfiction books that help, heal and inspire, in categories ranging from psychology and health, personal development, spirituality and motivational memoirs. She is a former member of the Board of Directors at IBPA, the Independent Book Publishers Association. Maggie is also the creator of The Underwire, a weekly newsletter publication on Substack. 

In her teens and early twenties, Maggie was an award-winning film and television actress, starring in films such as My American Cousin and Harry and the Hendersons. She still can’t resist playing the room for laughs whenever she gets the chance. Maggie lives in Los Angeles.

“I think everybody has limitless potential to create whatever they want”.  That’s the core idea that coach and best-selling author, Scott Allan lives by. Scott's made it his mission to "help people create the life they want to own".  How does he do that exactly? With the extraordinary series of self-help books he's written, and by sharing his life story.

In the late 90’s, Scott was working as an electrical engineer on the west coast of Canada when he decided to turn everything upside down. “I've got to do something with this life”, he decided, “I didn't come this far just to come this far”. That’s when everything changed.

In this episode, Scott delves into how he shifted toward the life he wanted to live and not the default that he had started to settle into. "A lot of what holds people back is lack of clarity. You have to get clear on what you want, and eventually you will get it”, he tells us.
Now, with a remarkable 35 self-help books under his belt, Scott's goal is to empower everyone to take just one step and see where the unexpected, the unplanned, and the uncharted may lead.

About Scott Allan
With his books published in 16 languages and over 500,000 copies sold worldwide, Scott Allan is on a mission to transform human potential.
Scott is the bestselling author of self-help books such as Fail Big, Relaunch Your Life, and Do the Hard Things First. As a former corporate business trainer and transformational success strategist in Japan, he has invested over 10,000 hours in Self-development to practice and research the areas of confidence development and mindset mastery training.

With an unrelenting passion for teaching, building critical life skills, and inspiring people for personal growth around the world to take charge of their lives, he is committed to a path of constant and never-ending self-improvement.

“You don't have to let your past define you. You can change in a heartbeat”. Dr. Cindy Starke is a firm believer that it’s never too late to begin again. Cindy is a physician and geneticist, and at mid-life she made the bold decision to leave her full-time hospital position and top-end salary to found a coaching program dedicated to empowering women at that tricky second-half-of-life milestone.  

Despite huge pushback from her partner and a lot of fear and trepidation, Cindy made the leap. She tore down societal boundaries to reinvent her life, and now she helps her clients do the same. She helps them explore what’s been holding them back, discover what they really want and then build that life from the ground up.

In this episode, Cindy tells us about her powerful  breakout from that narrow idea of "the perfect life": The kids,  the house, the husband, the job...and the pay check of everyone else's dreams.  We hear all about her ups and downs including when she made an Iron Man attempt, failed, and then went back for more! Cindy also shares the big steps she took to live the life she never knew she could have but always knew she wanted. It’s an honest and very real conversation about what change really takes, and how to push past the fear and go for it.
