What does healthy co-parenting after divorce actually look like?

In this special episode of the Why Not Now? Show, Amy Jo Martin sits down with the show's longtime producer - and her former husband - Richard Grewar for a candid conversation about the past few years of raising their son, as co-parents.

Their approach can be summed up in a phrase that helped shape their transition: one family, two homes.

Amy Jo and Richard share what it took to move from marriage into a new kind of partnership, while keeping their son's experience at the center of their decisions. They talk openly about the parts that were difficult, the mistakes they made, the support they sought from therapists and coaches, and why they don't believe there's one blueprint for successful co-parenting.

They also get practical, with tools and routines that have helped them along the way: the "20 Second Rule" they first created during their son's 90-day NICU stay, daily voice notes between households, shared calendars, navigating transitions, giving each other room to parent differently, and establishing trust and boundaries around new relationships.

Every situation is different, and this isn't a prescription for divorce or a step-by-step guide to co-parenting. It's an honest look at what Amy Jo and Richard have learned while trying to build something that works for their family.

For anyone navigating divorce, separation, co-parenting, blended families, or simply wondering whether family can look different without feeling broken, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on finding another way forward.

For 10 years, Amy Jo Martin has asked hundreds of entrepreneurs, creators, athletes and cultural icons one deceptively simple question: Why Not Now?

In this special 10-year anniversary episode of the Why Not Now? podcast, the person usually behind the scenes steps up to the mic. Longtime producer Richard Grewar joins Amy Jo to look back at a decade of conversations, unexpected moments and lessons that have shaped the show - and both of their lives.

They go back to the beginning: launching the podcast from a boat in San Diego, landing Mark Cuban as their first guest and figuring out production as they went. From there, they revisit memorable conversations with guests including Tony Robbins, Matthew McConaughey, Billy Corgan and more, along with the moments that proved some of the most powerful stories don't always come from the biggest names.

Amy Jo and Richard also unpack how podcasting has changed over the past decade, why genuine curiosity still beats a perfectly prepared question, and what producing hundreds of hours of conversation can teach you about listening, decision-making, the power of a follow up question and knowing when not to edit out the silence.

There are stories about recording through steam trains, unreliable Wi-Fi, an RV and even a makeshift studio near the NICU. But at its core, this episode is about what happens when you keep following your curiosity - even when you don't know where it's leading.

Ten years later, the question remains the same.

What if the greatest gift you can give your child has nothing to do with parenting techniques? In this conversation, Amy Jo Martin sits down with world-renowned clinical psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of the Conscious Parenting movement, Dr. Shefali, for an honest discussion about what children are really asking of us, and why the work begins within ourselves. Together, they explore why so many parents feel pressure to optimize every moment, manage every outcome, and "project manage" their children, when what kids often need most is a regulated, present adult. Dr. Shefali shares why she felt compelled to write her new books, Raising Conscious Sons and Raising Conscious Daughters, after witnessing the growing mental health challenges facing today's children, and offers practical wisdom for navigating everything from co-parenting and divorce to guilt, identity, and emotional resilience. Amy Jo and Dr. Shefali also tackle one of today's biggest parenting questions: how should families think about AI? Rather than focusing on fear, they explore how to preserve original thinking, creativity, boredom, and genuine human connection in a rapidly changing world. In this episode you'll learn:

• Why healing yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children
• How to navigate co-parenting, divorce, and guilt with greater awareness
• What today's mental health crisis is revealing about modern childhood
• Dr. Shefali's perspective on AI, technology, and protecting human creativity
• Why managing yourself, not everyone around you, is the foundation of a meaningful life

Whether you're raising young children, navigating adolescence, leading a team, or simply trying to become a more conscious version of yourself, this conversation is a reminder that lasting change starts from the inside out.

The gap between an idea and action is often smaller than we think.

Jim Kwik believes one question can help close it:

"What's the tiniest action you can take today to move closer to your goal?"

In this episode of Why Not Now?, Amy Jo Martin sits down with brain coach, entrepreneur, founder of Kwik Learning, and New York Times bestselling author Jim Kwik to explore motivation, identity, memory, focus, and how to stay mentally sharp in an AI-driven world. The conversation draws from the ideas behind Jim's upcoming book, Limitless Daily, which offers 366 bite-sized practices to help readers train their brains, sharpen their focus, and create lasting change through small, consistent actions.

Jim shares the deeply personal story of a near-fatal car accident that forced him to reevaluate what he wanted to leave behind - and ultimately led him to write the book that millions of readers now know as Limitless. From there, Amy and Jim unpack the hidden beliefs that keep people stuck, why knowledge alone isn't power, and what it takes to bridge the gap between knowing and doing.

Together, they explore Jim's framework for lasting change, including the roles of mindset, motivation, and methods, as well as the power of purpose, energy, and small, simple steps. They also discuss the growing challenge of protecting human intelligence in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, algorithms, distraction, and information overload.

In this conversation, you'll learn:

• How to overcome limiting beliefs and identity gaps
• Why purpose, energy, and small steps drive sustainable motivation
• The difference between inspiration, ideation, and implementation
• How AI can enhance—not replace—human intelligence
• Why "mind before media" may be one of the most important habits for focus, learning, and performance

If you've ever struggled to move an idea into action, this episode offers practical wisdom for building momentum, strengthening your mindset, and taking the next step.

What if the biggest risk with AI isn't the technology itself, but staying on the sidelines while the world changes around you?

In this solo episode of Why Not Now?, forever the technology optimist, Amy Jo Martin challenges the fear-driven narrative surrounding artificial intelligence and offers a more practical, human-centered perspective: AI as a tool for increasing agency, momentum, clarity, and quality of life.

Drawing from personal stories, recent speaking engagements, parenting, entrepreneurship, the fast-moving reality of AI adoption and her Renegade Experiment, Amy Jo breaks down how artificial intelligence can help people stop overthinking, move through fear, and take meaningful action in both business and life.

Instead of focusing on all the doom and gloom that seems to be littered across the media these days, she explores how curiosity, self-awareness, and intentional use of AI can create a competitive edge in a rapidly changing world.

You'll learn:

• How to use AI to overcome procrastination and identify what's actually blocking your next move.
• Practical prompts that can help pressure test excuses, clarify decisions, and spark momentum in under 10 minutes.
• The difference between bandwidth and capacity - and why AI may free up more than just your calendar.
• How Amy Jo uses tools like ChatGPT and Claude in everyday life, from planning family logistics to making higher-quality decisions under pressure.

This episode is a call to action for leaders, parents, creators, and anyone wondering how to stay relevant, intentional, and human in the age of AI.

Lisa Detanna has spent decades helping families, founders and executives navigate wealth, markets and uncertainty - and in this episode of the Why Not Now? podcast, she joins Amy Jo Martin for a candid conversation about AI, investing, financial psychology, and what the future of money may actually look like.

As Managing Director and Senior Vice President of Investments at Raymond James, Lisa has guided clients through multiple market cycles, economic shifts and technological revolutions.

Together, Amy Jo and Lisa unpack some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding artificial intelligence and the economy, including whether AI is truly replacing jobs, how companies are reallocating capital toward innovation, and why market volatility doesn't always mean panic.

They also explore the emotional side of money: behavioral finance, psychological safety, decision-making under pressure and how AI tools are beginning to help people better understand not just their finances, but their time, habits and energy.

You'll hear Lisa's practical insights on investing during periods of uncertainty, diversification, retirement planning, compounding wealth, longevity planning to age 120 (yes, 120!), and why staying informed matters more than reacting to headlines.

This episode is both grounding and forward-looking - a conversation about embracing change without losing perspective. If you've been trying to make sense of AI's impact on markets, careers, investing and everyday life, this discussion offers clarity, context and a refreshing dose of calm.

What happens when you run an AI experiment during a season of real-life stress?

In this solo episode of Why Not Now?, Amy Jo Martin shares an update from Q1 of her year-long AI experiment - right as an unexpected personal challenge introduces sustained emotional and cognitive strain. Instead of pausing, she keeps the experiment running, capturing what AI actually looks like in the middle of it, not in ideal conditions.

That's where the most valuable insights are showing up.

By feeding millions of data points - biometrics, sleep, spending, emotions, and daily decisions - into AI, Amy Jo is starting to see clear patterns. During higher-stress periods, intentional AI use helps her regulate faster, think more clearly, and avoid getting stuck in mental loops.

The results aren't just about efficiency. Her spending has dropped by 66%. Her self-awareness has increased. And she's making cleaner decisions with less recovery time afterward.

More importantly, AI becomes a way to pressure-test her thinking; helping her separate what's actually happening from the stories she's telling herself, and move forward without spinning.

In this episode, you'll hear how to:

• Work through emotional overwhelm in real time
• Catch patterns and blind spots earlier
• Get out of indecision and into action
• Evaluate the real cost of where your time and energy are going
• Use AI as a tool for clarity, not just as a vending machine.

This experiment isn't about doing more. It's about thinking better, especially when things aren't going smoothly.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, but most leaders are still asking the wrong question.

Instead of focusing on tools, Geoff Woods believes the real shift is happening at the leadership level: how we think, how we make decisions, and how teams execute in a world where intelligence is suddenly abundant.

In this episode of Why Not Now?, Amy Jo Martin sits down with Geoff Woods, author of the #1 international bestseller The AI-Driven Leader and founder of AI Leadership. Geoff's work helps leadership teams rethink how they align strategy, prioritize decisions, and operate at the speed AI now makes possible.

The conversation begins with Geoff's own "Why Not Now?" moment. Despite feeling unqualified to write about artificial intelligence, he committed to the process anyway—using the book itself as a forcing function to research, experiment, and go deep. Five months later, The AI-Driven Leader was finished and on its way to becoming a global bestseller.

From there, Amy Jo and Geoff unpack what's really happening inside companies right now. Many organizations believe they've "adopted AI" simply because employees have access to tools like ChatGPT. But according to Geoff, that's only the starting point. The real opportunity is using AI as a strategic thought partner—one that helps leaders ask better questions, challenge assumptions, and unlock entirely new ways of solving problems.

Along the way, you'll hear why the most valuable leadership skills in the next decade won't be technical at all. They'll be human: judgment, creativity, emotional intelligence, and the ability to synthesize complex ideas.

In other words, the leaders who win in the AI era won't be the ones who adopt the most tools.

They'll be the ones who redesign how their teams think and work.

Have you ever heard a human interview their own AI—live, unscripted, and in real time?

In this groundbreaking episode of the Why Not Now? podcast, Amy Jo Martin flips the script and welcomes a never-before-seen guest: her own ChatGPT AI, trained over years with millions of words of personal data, reflections, physiological metrics, and real-life context. The result is a raw, fascinating conversation that pulls listeners directly into the "petri dish" of a year-long AI integration experiment.

Together, Amy Jo and her AI thought partner explore what it actually looks like to collaborate with artificial intelligence beyond productivity hacks—using it as a mirror and a decision-support system. They unpack emerging patterns around identity, nervous system regulation, self-worth, and the hidden cost of always being "the one who figures it out."

The episode also reveals how Amy Jo uses multiple AI models — including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini — as a personal "AI board of directors" to pressure-test insights, surface alignment, and reduce bias.

You'll hear how AI can identify blind spots before you consciously notice them, help translate data into self-awareness, and support more intentional choices — without replacing human agency.

The conversation challenges common assumptions about AI collaboration and offers a simple prompt anyone can try today.

If you're curious about AI, personal growth, high performance, or the future of human–machine partnership, this episode is a must-listen — and a bold glimpse into what's possible when curiosity leads the way.

Can AI improve your quality of life, not just your productivity?

Keynote speaker Amy Jo Martin explores leadership, AI, and human-centered decision-making. In this solo episode of the Why Not Now? Podcast, Amy shares early field notes from The Reinvention Experiment, a year-long AI self-experiment exploring vitality, clarity, and what it means to live well and lead effectively in an AI-driven world.

Rather than biohacking or performance optimization, Amy introduces the concept of Quantified Soul, combining hard data like sleep tracking, screen time, biometrics, and wearable data with qualitative inputs including journaling, emotional regulation, gratitude, and relationship check-ins.

Key insights include why "a wobble is data, not drama," how journaling with AI can help regulate the nervous system, and why cognitive load often creates more stress than conflict. Amy also breaks down what she's tracking, the AI prompts she uses daily, and how AI can surface blind spots instead of reinforcing existing narratives.

This episode is intentionally raw and unfinished. You're stepping inside the experiment itself and exploring how AI can support better decision-making, reflection, and long-term fulfillment, not just efficiency.
