You Are The Prize

The grief of change and why the right decision can still break your heart. 

In this solo episode of You Are The Prize, we explore the grief that comes with growth. From friendships to relationships, we talk about what it feels like to move on without making anyone wrong, and why we often rewrite the story to avoid the loss. We also get into the language that shapes our experience, and the in-between moment of change: when you’ve left the old island behind, but the new one isn’t quite in sight yet.

On success, creative confidence, and the stories we tell about who we are. 

This week, we sit down with Carl Fudge, founder and CEO of Presentation Mode—a narrative strategy and design studio—to unpack the pressure to overachieve, the definitions of success we inherit without questioning, and why so many high performers struggle to see themselves clearly. We talk about what it looks like to build a culture of encouragement, who “gets” to be creative, and why kindness and high performance can and should coexist.

A masterclass in evolution, endurance, and becoming more yourself at every turn. 

Lauren Macrino is the founder of Musewash and re_grocery, a mom, designer, and competitive cyclist who’s rebuilt her life more than once. In this episode, we talk about the shift from sprinting to endurance, why life’s unexpected pivots become your greatest advantage, and how to build something meaningful without collapsing yourself into a single definition. It’s a conversation about pace, identity, and trusting that forward doesn’t always mean faster.

Belonging feels harder than ever, but what if it wasn’t as hard as you think to build real community? 

That’s the big question Emily Race-Newmark answers in this week's conversation about chosen family, the myth of the perfect place, and what becomes possible when we stop searching and start showing up. We explore the quiet systems that pull us away from community, and Emily shares how re-villaging offers a different path—one rooted in care, commitment, and shared responsibility. It’s a powerful reminder that belonging isn’t something you find, but something you build.

It’s time to wake up, bring our whole selves to work, and start building a world where leadership starts with love.

Where do our inner critics come from? Why do they sound so convincing? And what happens when the stories we learned about ourselves as kids follow us into adulthood? 

In this solo episode of You Are The Prize, Alex and Alexis get personal. Alex introduces us to what he jokingly calls his “board of directors,” while Alexis reflects on the thirteen-year-old version of herself that still occasionally grabs the microphone. The conversation moves between humor and vulnerability as they unpack the early stories they still carry and what it takes to recognize that the voice in your head isn’t always the truth.

On the powerful trifecta of serendipity, skill set, and saying yes. 

In this episode of You Are The Prize, Alex and Alexis sit down with Lauren Delp, founder of Silver Lake Socialite, to talk about reinvention. After building a career in advertising, Lauren made a bold 180 into entrepreneurship and discovered her expertise was the engine behind her next chapter. We explore the courage to say yes before you feel ready, the discipline of “chop wood, carry water,” and the belief that you can build something new at any stage of life.

A conversation about hospitality, humanity, and making everyone feel like a regular.

Ian Asbury, co-founder of Good Clean Fun in Downtown LA, joins Alex & Alexis for a lively chat about entrepreneurship and why the best restaurants feel like home. As the official "Priest of the Pulse," Ian approaches hospitality as a felt experience, bringing the mechanics of a great dinner party into the room every single night and training his staff to cultivate empathy. We talk about why “cool” is overrated, how to hold onto what makes us human, and why wine is definitely the happiest kind of drunk.

A conversation about body trust, resilience, and the courage to slow down. 

Alex and Alexis talk to SoulCycle instructor and movement coach Rachael Brooke about creating a life you don't have to recover from. Rachael shares how growing up with scoliosis led her to dance, how injury eventually guided her to SoulCycle, and the pivotal moments that taught her she couldn’t keep pushing past her limits. Together, they explore the mind–body connection, the intelligence of pain, and the shift from treating the body like a project to treating it like a friend. The episode closes with a reflection on grief, animals, and the ways we keep learning how to come home to ourselves.

A portrait of inner alignment in a world built on external validation.

Actor Kelli Garner joins Alex and Alexis for a conversation about the courage it takes to live in alignment with who you really are—especially in Hollywood. She reflects on her early years in the industry, the pressure to please, and what changed when she became her own North Star. They talk about the power of feminine energy, the vulnerability of speaking your truth, and the quiet strength required to honor your worth. What emerges is a reminder that success isn’t just about what you achieve, but about how fully you’re willing to stand in who you already are.
