You can live with losing.

It's much harder to live with not trying.

This week's Midweek Momentum is inspired by the Olympics — and Lindsey Vonn's decision to ski at 41 without an ACL. She knew the risk. She knew the odds. It didn't end the way she hoped.

But she would have regretted not going for it more than she regrets going for it.

That's not recklessness. That's resoluteness.

In this episode, Angie explores:

• The difference between reckless and resolute

• Why regret lingers longer than failure

• How modern grit isn't about grinding harder — it's about staying engaged

• Why fear of "fail" keeps us stuck in mediocrity

• One small move you can make this week to stop avoiding and start trying

Failure is data.
Regret is emotional residue.

If you've been playing it safe, staying comfortable, or putting something off because you're afraid of losing — this is your nudge.

Humans still matter. And that starts with showing up.

Building a business with your spouse can be one of the most rewarding yet challenging adventures you'll face. In this episode, Robert Fukui, business coach and co-author of "Tandem: The Married Entrepreneurs' Guide to Greater Work-Life Balance," joins Angie Callen to share lessons learned from navigating a business and marriage simultaneously.

This conversation matters because the boundary between work and home life often blurs when you're married to—or working with—your spouse. The stress, communication challenges, and decisions about priorities can affect both your business and your relationship deeply.

In this episode, we explore:
- How Robert and his wife unintentionally found themselves working together and thriving
- Why communication style differences create friction and how to navigate them
- The importance of setting intentional boundaries around business talk and personal time
- How a supportive spouse plays a critical role even when not directly involved in the business
- Shifting the entrepreneurial mindset from "more sales at all costs" to prioritizing margin and quality of life
- Understanding core values and aligning business decisions with your life priorities
- The critical role of trust between spouses in business and life
- Practical tactics to avoid burnout and create sustainable growth
- How adapting to change, including new tools like AI, is essential for the future of work

This episode reminds us that modern work isn't just about hustle or money—it's about building a life and business that honors your values and relationships.

This week's Midweek Momentum comes to you in the wild from Sarasota, Florida — recorded during an unconference where hierarchy is stripped away and real human connection takes center stage.

Angie reflects on why human connection matters more than ever in a time of increasing disconnection, isolation, and loneliness. From the absence of "speakers" to the depth of vulnerability in the room, this episode is a reminder that meaningful work, leadership, and purpose don't happen alone.

If you've been feeling disconnected, stuck, or like you're carrying too much on your own, this short episode is your nudge to reconnect — with others and with yourself.
