In today's episode, I sat down with Todd Reesing. Many people know Todd as the record-setting quarterback who led the University of Kansas through one of its most memorable eras. But what drew me in first wasn't his athletic career, it was his extensive travel, the perspective he's gained from it, and how intentionally he's shaped his life after football, including his work in finance and leadership, currently leading growth strategy and client relationships at Cap Six.

As we got deeper into the conversation, I realized I had far more in common with Todd's athlete mindset than I expected. We explore how the discipline, presence, and resilience he developed on the field translates into some of the values I care about most: personal growth, purpose, and building a grounded life. We also touch on the community he's built with former athletes, the role meditation has played for him, and the way he continues to evolve in his career.

It's a thoughtful, energizing conversation, and I'm excited to share it with you.

This week, I had the joy of sitting down with my dear friend, Larissa Conte — a Wayfinding Coach and one of the most insightful people I know. I first connected with Larissa just before my son was born, and her work around self-discovery, power literacy, and embodied leadership has shaped the way I think about growth and meaning — both personally and professionally.

In our conversation, we talk about what it really means to understand our own power, how trauma reshapes that relationship, and how community can help us alchemize pain into purpose.

In today's episode I had the pleasure of sitting down with Xanthe Wells. Xanthe wells is the VP of global creative at Pinterest. She has had a truly impressive career as a world class marketer, heading campaigns we've all seen from Pepsi, Netflix, Mattel and Google. I came into this interview as a fan of her work, hoping to learn more about the secrets of her success. This interview delivers on that hope, but Xanthe also surprised me with her generous vulnerability and honest conversation about difficult life transitions.

In today's episode I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jennifer Dazols. Jenni co-founded Modern Family Finance with her wife several years ago after leaving a career in tech. But as you'll hear in this conversation we have much more in common than I even realized, from navigating leaving the faith we were raised in to now raising 7 year old boys. We also discuss the documentary film she and her wife produced in 2015, 'Out and Around', which follows their travels over the course of a year to meet with LGBTQ activists and pioneers all around the world
