ESPN Host, Katie Nolan, joins us for a jam packed episode. She shared some serious truths, including how she got discovered by the big networks, inventing “troll math” to beat the online haters & how when she embraced her own mental health it skyrocketed her success.  

My biggest takeaway from her was that even though it was sometimes uncomfortable, her ability to stubbornly follow her own wild instincts always led her right.

Host Taylor Stern and sister, Alex, open up for a candid conversation of all things 2020. Sharing the lessons they’ve learned, what helped get them through and what they’ll be bringing with them into 2021. They each reflect on overcoming challenges and their powerful self-reflection. 

Debbie Mitchell, a career & life coach, has used her passion for helping others land their dream job and live the life they want for over 30 years. She joins me to discuss how we can get unstuck, find work that really fulfills us & handle everything that 2020 is throwing our way. You won’t want to miss her tangible tips & advice.

How can I have meaningful work, a career that makes me feel fulfilled? Host, Taylor Stern, reflects on her decision to walk away from her sports career and step into a new direction. She shares the 3 ways she was able to feel confident that she was pursuing what she really wanted to be doing in a job. 

Emmanuel Acho, NY Times Bestselling Author and Host of "Uncomfortable Conversations With A Black Man", joins us to have a candid conversation about what his life was like before it was a viral sensation, the experience that led him to walk away from the NFL and how he's learned to thrive in the wild of it. 

This is a very special episode, one that I know I’ll always be grateful we recorded. Joining me is my dad or known in formal settings as Jonathan Stern but mostly lovingly referred to as Jonnyboy. When I’m at my best, I’m my father’s daughter. An incredibly hard-working man, he grew up to be his childhood dream of an airline pilot traveling the world. Recently we got tough news when he was diagnosed with Leukemia. While we’re still learning & processing this challenge, we knew that we wanted to share our journey here on this podcast. Only with the hope to help others or encourage others to change their perspective with the hard things they face. Jonnyboy is also the one who named this podcast, seems fitting now but he shares what the title meant to him. Something that I’ll hold onto from this is what he thought of when he got the diagnosis, that wisdom is what makes him truly great. Take a listen!

Joining me today is none other than Chris Harrison, the host of The Bachelor franchise since 2002. He’s been such a gracious mentor to me throughout my career and I’m excited for you to learn more about the man we’ve all watched on television for almost 2 decades. He’s a household name now but he shares with me the leap of faith he took in 1999 that forever changed his life. He also opens up about the unseen obstacles, how he’s survived the unexpected fame and thrived in the opportunities presented.

For so long I felt like I was just surviving, getting through, almost just patiently/sometimes impatiently waiting for my life to get started. What I was realized was that the only person holding me back was myself. I learned this lesson from my late grandmother, this story is my why. My why is that I don't want to not live up to my full potential. I want to give this life everything I've got. I share the 3 things that were holding me back and how I was able to overcome them.
