Your Move with Lori & Jett

🔥 Some stories stay with us long after the people who lived them are gone.

Michelle was supposed to be one of the first guests on Your Move. Her story was one of remarkable transformation. She had lost more than 100 pounds, discovered a passion for powerlifting, found love, and built a life filled with new possibilities.

Tragically, Michelle passed away in December 2025 at just 42 years old, before her episode could be shared with the world.

In this deeply personal episode, Lori and Jett revisit moments from their original conversation with Michelle, reflecting on her journey, her personality, the memories they shared, and the impact she left on the people who loved her.

Through honest conversation, they celebrate a woman whose story deserves to be heard.

This episode is about more than loss. It's about strength, transformation, family, love, and the lasting impression one person can leave on so many lives.

🔥 What happens when you do everything “right” on paper...elite schools, top-tier firms, a path toward the C-suite, and still feel completely wrong inside?

In one of our very first episodes, Lori and Jett sit down with Eryn-Ashlei Bailey, a Wharton MBA who walked away from the traditional executive track to build Petcha Can!, a premium concierge pet-sitting company in Boston. This is a story about redefining success on your own terms and building a business that actually fits who you are.

You’ll hear how Eryn went from institutional finance and chief-of-staff roles to house-sitting for dogs, donkeys, ball pythons, and ultra-busy executives, while quietly building a brand, a pipeline, and a completely different kind of power. Along the way, we explore the emotional and strategic side of big moves: brutal performance reviews, bullying, founder loyalty, hiring misfires, saying “no” when you’re still cash-strapped, and the moment you decide you’re done climbing the wrong ladder.

This conversation is honest, nuanced, and deeply practical for ambitious people who are secretly wondering, “Is this really the life I’m going to keep choosing?” It’s about listening to the signs, trusting your own data, and being willing to bet on yourself when no one around you has a playbook for what you’re trying to build.

Perfect for anyone searching for:

Career change • Reinvention • Entrepreneurship • Women in business • Ivy League MBA • Founder mindset • Building a service business • High-achievers & burnout • Imposter syndrome • Performance reviews • Saying no • Boundaries with clients • Recession-proofing your career • Redefining success • Ambitious women • Personal transformation

🔥 What if the language you use every day is quietly shrinking your confidence?

In this episode of Your Move, Lori and Jett explore one of the most overlooked habits in communication: diminutive language. These are the words and phrases we use to soften our opinions, minimize our accomplishments, or make ourselves feel less "threatening." 

This isn't about speaking louder or becoming someone you're not. It's about recognizing when your language reflects humility... and when it reflects hesitation.

Lori and Jett unpack why so many high performers unconsciously minimize themselves and how these communication habits are often rooted in culture, upbringing, perfectionism, and the desire to avoid conflict.

You'll learn:

Whether you're leading meetings, interviewing for a job, negotiating a salary, speaking on stage, or simply trying to be heard at home, this conversation offers tools you can use immediately.

If you've ever left a conversation wishing you'd spoken up more clearly or noticed yourself constantly saying "I'm just wondering..." or "This might be a stupid idea..."this episode will help you understand why those habits form and how to replace them with language that reflects your true value.

Confidence isn't always about changing your voice.

Sometimes it's about changing a single word.

🔥Greg Star reached a level of success by his early 20s that most people only dream about. Then he got the news of his life: brain cancer. 

But Greg did something most people don’t do. At a time when LinkedIn was still a platform for polished posts, he shared his story out loud every step of the way.

Now the co-founder of Carvertise is bringing everything he learned - building his first company, surviving cancer, and leveraging relationships online and off - into what he’s calling the third act. Driven Branding is a Greg’s new company that leverages relationships and LinkedIn to get bottom line results. And it’s growing fast. 

In this episode, Greg talks about the power of knowing yourself clearly enough to play to your strengths, admit what you don’t know, and bring the right people in. He shares why you don’t have to be the smartest person in the room, why relationships matter more than most people realize, and why asking for help isn’t a weakness. It is a force multiplier.

🔥 In this episode of Your Move, we’re talking about what it really takes to stay with an idea long enough to give it a real chance. Not every idea is meant to become something bigger. But too many good ones get abandoned in the difficult middle, simply because the emotional weight of building is mistaken for a sign to stop.

We get into why ideas often feel harder once they become real, what resistance actually looks like in practice, and how to work through the discomfort without losing yourself or your momentum. This conversation is for anyone who has felt excited about something, only to hit the wall that comes after the initial spark.

🔥 We’ve all had that moment, the stomach drop, the tunnel vision, the face that feels the size of Montana.

🔥 Courage can come from the most unexpected places. For Allison Taylor Levine, CEO of Spotlight Delaware, that courage came from a quiet but profound understanding: life can end at any moment, and each day is an opportunity to live your purpose.

In this episode of Your Move with Lori and Jett, Allison shares an intimate story of life and loss, and what it means to rebuild in the face of uncertainty. She had long carried a passion for local journalism, and as she watched it quietly disappear over the last 15 years, something in her refused to let it go. After losing her husband in her 40s, she stopped waiting. She followed her heart, took the leap, and built something that matters.

🔥 We’ve been told that time is our most valuable resource, but in this episode, Lori flips the script. Time is useless if you don't have the fire to use it. The real currency of a purpose-driven life is Energy.

Lori dives deep into the neuroscience of "The Shutdown," explaining why your brain pulls the plug on your motivation when you stay in your familiar lanes. If you’re waking up heavy and moving through your day like it’s a chore, you might not need a nap—you might need a reason to stay awake.

Lori breaks down the "blueprint" for triggering your brain’s premium fuel. To move from hibernation to activation, you need these five drivers:

Your Move: What is calling to your heart? Open the door for it today, even if it’s just a crack, and watch how you feel when you wake up tomorrow.

🔥 This episode was supposed to be about opportunity...but it turned into something much bigger.

A conversation that quietly asks whether we’re actually prepared for the world we’re building—and who’s steering while it takes shape.

In this full-length episode of Your Move with Lori & Jett,we sit down with Dr. Karl Morris, computer science professor at Temple University and AI ethics researcher, for a deep, unsparing look at where artificial intelligence truly is right now. Not the hype. Not the tools. The underlying mechanics, incentives, and risks that most people never see—but are already living inside of.

What unfolds is a grounded, intellectually honest exploration of how AI systems actually learn, why even their creators don’t fully understand emergent behavior, and what happens when speed outpaces governance. They talk alignment problems, emotional manipulation, economic disruption, job vulnerability, and why “opting out” of AI is no longer a neutral choice. This isn’t fear-based—but it is sobering.

The episode closes where Your Move lives best: responsibility, agency, and the quiet ambition to engage with reality rather than avoid it.

Listen with curiosity. Stay awake. The move is already in motion.

🔥 January 1 is not magic. It is leverage.

This episode breaks down why the brain is uniquely primed to take action at the start of the year and how to use that advantage without falling into the “New Year, New You” trap. This is not about motivation. It is about execution.

Using behavioral science, leadership strategy, and systems thinking, the episode explains why starting is the hardest part of any transformation and how to lower the psychological friction that stops most people before they ever begin.

If you are building your next chapter and want momentum that lasts past February, this episode provides a disciplined and sustainable path forward.
