In this solo episode, Farryn gets personal. She is pulling back the curtain on the invisible parts of her journey: the self-doubt, the imposter syndrome, the moments you want to quit but preserve instead. This is less about answers and more about permission. Permission to struggle. Permission to lead while still figuring it out. And permission to grow: slowly, imperfectly, and honestly.

Farryn opens up about the courage it takes to lead with vulnerability, and why “being a freshman again” in your career might just be your biggest asset. She explores what it means to lead with your whole self, why culture starts from the inside out, and how the choice to work on yourself is the most powerful business decision you can make.

Who you are at home, in the quiet, in the in-between—that person is running the company too.

This is for the founders, the leaders, anyone building something from scratch—while rebuilding themselves in the process.

What if creativity isn’t about inspiration, but about constraint? What if the work only works when you stop trying to impress people?

In this episode, Farryn sits down for a live conversation with Miami’s own Typoe Gran, a mixed media artist whose work is as layered as the man behind it. They talk about what it really means to make something in a world that’s always watching. About trusting your gut when the noise gets loud. About the pressure of early success, and the power of doing it anyway.

This one’s about staying present, solving problems like it’s an art form (because it is), and building a creative life that doesn’t trade authenticity for approval. From childhood instincts to real-world deadlines, they discuss art, identity, collaboration, burnout, feedback, failure, and that magic zone where confidence lives.

This episode is part of our special Mental Health Awareness Month capsule, spotlighting conversations that challenge the status quo, invite reflection, and celebrate the courage it takes to truly heal.

Presence isn’t a trend—it’s a practice. And for Raed Khawaja, CEO & Co-Founder of Open, it’s the foundation of everything.

In this episode, Farryn and Raed get into what it really means to build a mission-driven, venture-backed wellness company without losing the soul of the work. From growing up in daily prayer to building Open through breath, movement, and meditation, Raed shares how presence became his power. They talk rituals, emotional fluency, capitalism as a sandbox, and why mindfulness isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.
