Jonathan Wolf is the co-founder and CEO of ZOE, the science-based nutrition company using data to transform how people eat. In this candid conversation, he joins Alisa to explore what it takes to build a mission-driven company, how to lead with more clarity and transparency, and why the way we eat is more broken and more fixable than most people think.ZOE's origin story is as unconventional as it is inspiring. After scaling Critéo into a billion-dollar business, Jonathan stepped away with no plan and plenty of questions. That wandering period led him to microbiome researcher Tim Spector, and from there, to the bold idea of using AI and big data to personalize nutrition at scale. Eight years and 250,000 microbiome samples later, ZOE is running the world's largest nutrition science study and has launched a free app to help people assess their food in real time.In this episode:Why Jonathan left the world of adtech in search of purposeHis sabbatical was a challenging period of self-discovery.The importance of relationships over ideas became clear to him.How he navigated the founder's journeyThe scientific gaps in mainstream nutrition adviceWhat most people misunderstand about ultra-processed foodHow ZOE turned a research project into a product that helps millionsWhat coffee can reveal about your gut microbiomeWhy leadership gets easier when you stop trying to be likedHow Jonathan uses one key question to make sure he's actually being heardWhy ZOE launched a free tool to put science into people's handsHow to communicate clearly as a CEO without over-explainingWhy repeating your message 100 times is part of the jobHow to hire people who care more about the mission than the resumeWhat coaching and therapy taught Jonathan about being an effective leaderWhy ZOE's shift to a free app was a strategic business decisionHow to scale without losing sight of your company's purposeJonathan also shares the emotional and psychological journey of leadership: learning to make hard calls without sugarcoating, building teams that stick, and staying grounded while leading a fast-growing company.ZOE's new free app is now available in the US. It uses AI to analyze any food item or meal for its processing risk and nutritional quality, helping people make smarter choices instantly. If you care about your energy, mood, and long-term health, this episode will change how you think about food and leadership.Connect with Alisa!

As difficult it seems, try to define Grown Up. Markers have changed so much as to questioning whether or not adulting even exists.Contact Us: TheWORDHouse.com; DrMDClay@TheWORDHouse.com; @WORDHOUSE; or call 304.523.WORD (9673).

Let's talk about adulting—actual adulting. Not just paying bills or keeping a houseplant alive, but the kind that involves emotional maturity, healthy boundaries, and conscious self-leadership. Because let's be honest, most of us weren't taught how to be fully functioning adults… and it shows. Joining us is Michelle Chalfant, licensed therapist turned holistic life coach, creator of The Adult Chair® model, and author of the new book The Adult Chair: Get Unstuck, Claim Your Power, and Transform Your Life. With millions reached through her podcast, coaching programs, and retreats, she's here to walk us through the five pillars of being a healthy, grounded adult. Here's the truth: being an adult isn't about checking boxes or pretending you're fine. It's about owning your truth. Feeling your feelings. Practicing compassion without letting yourself off the hook. It's about setting firm boundaries—with no need for justification—and recognizing that your triggers are not flaws, they're clues. None of us were handed a guidebook for how to grow up emotionally. We inherited patterns from people who were figuring it out as they went. But what Michelle shares today is empowering: it's never too late to unlearn what no longer serves you and become the adult you were meant to be. Whether you're starting this work or knee-deep in your personal development era, this episode will meet you where you are—and help you move forward with clarity, self-trust, and strength.

Orlando, Florida, is the ultimate family destination, but did you know it's also an amazing adults-only vacation? Join us on an epic audio journey as we explore some of the best things to do for adults in Orlando, including top-rated dining, wine tasting, sunset kayaking, and adrenaline-pumping roller coasters.  Pack your bags and join me and producer Luke as we head to the theme park capital of the world to show you why this sun-soaked city isn't just for families; it's also the perfect grown-up getaway if you want thrill rides paired with buzzing bars, restaurants and shopping.  In this episode of Travel Goals, we're swapping character breakfasts for wine tastings, thrill rides for even bigger thrill rides and discovering a more sophisticated side to Orlando. One with sunset kayaking, indie wine bars, swish hotels and luxury dining Of course, we're still hitting the big-name parks because riding TRON Lightcycle / Run or drinking Butterbeer in Diagon Alley is just as magical when you're grown up. You can race through the raptor paddocks on the Jurassic World VelociCoaster, face the First Order on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and then hop on classic rides that bring back all the childhood nostalgia. But we're also stepping outside the parks to explore Orlando's cooler, calmer corners. Expect leafy neighbourhoods with boutique shops and culture, glass-bottom kayaking through glittering lakes, and wine tasting in bougie bars.  If you're planning a getaway, a couples' escape, a group trip, or a trip with the girls, this episode will help you plan your dream grown-up adventure in Orlando, with where to stay, play and eat. If you're looking for a fabulous hotel, Lake Nona Wave Hotel is highly recommended. Please note that since the recording at Lake Nona Wave Hotel, Haven Kitchen has now become Garni Café, and Haven Lounge has now become The Nectar Room. Make sure to check them both out.  Thanks to Visit Orlando for supporting this episode of Travel Goals.

David Ko is the CEO and board member of Calm, the #1 app for sleep, meditation, and mindfulness. A former healthcare executive and tech operator, David previously served as COO of Zynga, held senior roles at Yahoo!, and founded a healthtech company acquired by Calm. He is the bestselling author of Recharge, and has been recognized by TIME, LinkedIn, RockHealth, and NYU Stern for his leadership in digital health.What you'll learn:How David transitioned from gaming to healthcare through mission-driven insightThe real story behind Calm's evolution from sleep and meditation to global mental healthWhy David uses “battery level” as a tool for checking in at workHow leaders can model vulnerability without sacrificing authorityWhy burnout stems from poor workload management, not just long hoursThe power of shared purpose in turbulent timesHow Calm uses rituals like Jay Shetty meditations and Zoom-free days to reinforce its cultureWhy sleep, diet, and presence are core to David's leadership performanceHow transparency builds trust even when the news isn't goodWhy the conversation around mental health needs to start at the topSome takeaways:➡️ Stress is not the problem. Unchecked, unacknowledged stress is. Good stress can fuel resilience and performance.➡️ “How's your battery?” is a more meaningful check-in than “How are you?”➡️ Burnout often comes from lack of clarity and excessive task stacking, not too many hours.➡️ Leaders must explain the why behind priorities and remove as much as they assign. ➡️ Transparency about culture survey results builds psychological safety. ➡️ Rituals like 90-second meditations help reset and re-center teams. ➡️ Leadership can be lonely. Trusted colleagues make a critical difference. ➡️ Presence matters more than hours. Back-to-back meetings are not a badge of honor. ➡️ Sharing your own mental health journey is not weakness. It's how resilient teams are built. ➡️ “We take better care of our phone batteries than our mental health batteries.” Time to change that.Where to find David Ko:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daveko/ Calm: https://www.calm.comBook: Recharge: Boosting Your Mental Battery One Conversation at a TimePodcast: Recharge (available on major platforms)Connect with Alisa!

In this captivating episode of Reading With Your Kids, host Jed Doherty takes listeners on an extraordinary adventure with two incredible authors who are redefining storytelling for young readers. First up is Rayne Lacko, whose young adult novel "The Secret Song of Shelby Ray" introduces readers to a fascinating protagonist with an extraordinary gift: the ability to hear people's inner music when she touches them. This unique premise explores complex themes of mental health, personal growth, and the power of understanding one's authentic self. Lacko brilliantly weaves a narrative that speaks to teenagers and adults alike, showing how our inner "songs" connect us in profound ways. The conversation delves deep into the emotional landscape of growing up, with Lacko sharing insights about social-emotional learning and the delicate balance of parenting teenagers. Her approach is both compassionate and realistic, acknowledging that young adults need space to make their own discoveries. In the second half of the episode, Ruth Spiro takes center stage with her innovative children's science books. Her "Baby Loves Science" series and new "How to Explain Science to a Grown Up" collection are revolutionizing how we introduce complex scientific concepts to children. From meteorology to climate science, Spiro makes learning engaging and accessible, empowering kids to become mini-experts. What makes this episode truly special is the shared passion both authors have for storytelling that educates, inspires, and connects. Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply someone who loves great stories, this episode offers something magical for everyone. Tune in to discover how literature can open new worlds of understanding, spark curiosity, and celebrate the incredible potential of young minds.

Mike Seckler is a two-time entrepreneur and tech startup founder who led a company through the dot-com boom and bust, and now leads the charge as CEO of Justworks, the HR tech company focused on uplifting small businesses. In this conversation, he shares hard-earned lessons from building one of the earliest SaaS HR startups, navigating turbulent markets, and guiding Justworks through major transitions. We dive into founder resilience, building high-functioning boards, scaling culture in a hybrid world, and why mission-driven support for small businesses matters now more than ever.What You'll Learn:How Mike evolved from first-time founder to CEO of JustworksThe “self-inflicted wound quotient” every founder faces—and how to reduce itHow values shape Justworks' culture and decision-makingThe impact of structured, intentional board leadershipWhy Justworks pulled its IPO and why it was the right callLessons from integrating a remote team post-acquisitionHow to stay adaptable without losing momentumWhy stepping back (even for vacation) makes you a stronger leaderBalancing in-person U.S. operations with global remote teamsThe importance of staying close to your end userKey Takeaways: ➡️ Minimize your “self-inflicted wounds”: Founders often make early decisions—co-founder choices, board composition, capital structure—that can hinder growth. Mike calls this your “self-inflicted wound quotient.” Keep it low. ➡️ Good governance starts with leadership: Don't wait for your board to self-organize. Set norms, prep materials early, and lead it the way you'd lead your exec team. ➡️ Clarity beats comfort: From acquisitions to layoffs, Mike emphasizes over-communicating the why and making decisions that would “look good on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.” ➡️ Culture isn't what you say—it's what you do: Values like “comradery” and “grit” must be defined through behavior and reinforced through recognition, awards, and storytelling. ➡️ Board building is strategic: Justworks' board includes domain-specific experts—from healthcare to global payments. Choose members like you'd build your C-suite. ➡️ Hard decisions made early pay off later: Fix the roof when it's sunny. The cost of delay is always higher. ➡️ Remote vs. in-person is not either/or: Justworks combines in-office culture in the U.S. with distributed international teams, intentionally designing for both. ➡️ Real leadership means managing your energy: Mike learned from parenting that being the calmest person in the room is often your superpower. ➡️ Mission attracts the right people: Employees at Justworks are deeply motivated by its purpose—to serve small businesses as heroes of the economy. Where to find Mike Seckler:LinkedInJustworksConnect with Alisa!
