Unpack The Pursuit

Today, we are talking about vulnerability... from a man's perspective.  Anthony came ready to leave it all on the line with us. He shares how the global pandemic created space for him to reflect on his past relationships in a way he hasn't allowed himself before.  We really enjoyed this conversation, and think you will too.

Our new segment is called Quali-Tea Time, because we're all about a good play on words. These short bits are going to be focused on our daily flow: what we're up to, how we're feeling, and getting vulnerable about the small day-to-day.

Today, Natalie and I celebrate RBG's life. We also share some vulnerable stories about how gender shows up in our careers + our everyday lives (like, on a boat when you're just tryna relax).

As always, please reach out if you'd like. We love connecting with y'all. Email us: [email protected], say hello to us on Instagram: @lifeofoscarwao, @natalieonacki & @jadecole, or send us a tweet on Twitter.

Today, we are talking about *voting* with Georgia Democrat field organizer Oliver Sandreuter.  November 3rd is right around the corner (literally, three days), so here's your last-minute reminder. If you haven't voted yet, there's still time. If you don't think your vote matters, it DOES! And so do you. Tune in to hear Oliver talk about his experience working on the presidential campaign.

WELCOME TO SEASON 2! A lot has changed since Season 1 -- we have a new team member (sup Jade?), we've had over 3K downloads, and we're starting a new segment.  Our new segment is called Quali-Tea Time, because we're all about a good play on words. These short bits are going to be focused on our daily flow: what we're up to, how we're feeling, and getting vulnerable about the small day-to-day.

Today, Natalie and I chat about decision paralysis, feeling "medium", and how that's impacting our mindset during a global pandemic.

Today, we are closing out Season 1 of Unpack The Pursuit by interviewing our very own co-host Molly  (it's about time). Molly gets vulnerable with us about her experience with friend breakups and how her perception of these changing relationships has evolved over time.

You can find Molly on LinkedIn or Instagram.

Today, we are talking about financial freedom with Evan Knox, founder of Caffeine Marketing. Evan has a hell of a story, but we focus on how he paid off over $100K in debt... really quickly. Y'all know on UTP we like to normalize things that people avoid talking about. Talking about money is weird, but it doesn't have to be. This is the start of a much larger conversation, and we're curious what you think.

If you want to learn more about Evan check out his website evanknox.com, LinkedIn, or Instagram.

Today, we are sending our love to educators around the world. It's true that we have all been affected by this global pandemic in one way or another, but as school begins we can't help but feel for our teachers & caregivers. They are dealing with unprecedented times–trying to show up for their students while trying to keep everyone safe. It's a lot to ask.

In today's episode, we have the privilege of hearing from seven educators: Liza Prestileo Trombley, Brianna Laughlin, Jackie Dziadosz, Savannah Staley, Jamie Baier, Anthony Sandoval, and Dr. Mia Moody-Ramirez. An endless thank you to you all.

Are you an educator? How are you showing up at school this year? Email us: [email protected], or say hello to us on Instagram: @lifeofoscarwao, @natalieonacki & @jadecole.

Ahhhh!!! Jade Fails. Our marketing maven. Our teammate. Our friend & soul sister. Today, we’re diving into Jade's story, which focuses on gifting yourself grace.  Jade gets vulnerable with us about her existence as a Black woman–she opens up about her struggle with anxiety and healing from an abusive relationship. Being vulnerable is hard. Being vulnerable on a podcast is, in our opinion, harder. Thank you, Jade, for showing up and helping others by leading your narrative. 

Find Jade on Instagram @jadecole or Twitter @jadefails. Do you have a story about gifting yourself grace or storytelling? Email us: [email protected], or say hello to us: @lifeofoscarwao, @natalieonacki & @jadecole.
