This week on U Up?, Jared is joined by Aleen Dreksler, CEO and co-founder of BETCHES, for a chaotic and honest deep dive into mama drama, ex etiquette, and career vs. kids debates. They discuss boundaries with mother-in-laws and what you can negotiate versus when you should just say nope, covering everything from holiday turf wars to posting your baby on Instagram without permission. Then it's petty or prudent when an ex crashes a run club and sends a seriously annoying “it'll get easier over time” text. Plus, an Icky or Picky ruling on a second date who announces a strict “no phones at the table” policy like he's running a dictatorship. Be sure to not miss updates from Jordana!

In this episode, I'm starting a new three-part series called Leave the Drama at the Door. Part 1 begins with something simple but powerful: learning to trust the signals your energy is giving you. Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling drained… even though nothing dramatic happened? Maybe you felt a heaviness in the room. Maybe a conversation left you depleted. Maybe something just felt off. I call that the icky feeling. Over time, I've learned that those moments are not random. They're information. Our bodies often recognize misalignment long before our minds are willing to admit it. In this episode we talk about: • why some conversations drain your energy • how emotional energy moves through environments • why empathetic people often absorb too much • and how learning to trust your internal signals can change the direction of your life Because the truth is this: You can care about people without carrying their chaos. This episode is the beginning of a larger conversation about boundaries, awareness, and protecting your peace. Stay tuned for Part 2 of the series: Drama Is Sneakier Than You Think.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's 79-70 loss to visiting Virginia and what head coach Pat Kelsey had to say about it. The loss drops the Cardinals to 12-5 overall and 2-3 in the ACC, which is more losses than last season's conference play, and now 3-4 without star point guard Mikel Brown. Pat Kelsey said they weren't the more desperate team, and (finally) noted that they just aren't very good right now. He also explained the London Johnson situation and apologized for jumping the gun on the whole thing. Just one more off the court thing that the Louisville fan base has had to deal with this season.

You're ready to make real money in your business — but without an offer that feels solid, it still feels like an expensive hobby.You're overthinking your offers. Going back and forth about what your “thing” should be — only to end up not putting anything out there consistently. Deep down, you're wondering: How do I actually create something that's valuable? Something people would happily pay for — and I'd feel good delivering?In this episode, I share the one strategic shift I made that helped me stop second-guessing, start creating real results, and confidently sell $3.5K coaching packages without feeling icky.You'll learn:* Why you can't just rely on mindset work to build true confidence* The exact steps I took to build a clear, aligned offer that I could confidently sell. * How to create an offer that's rooted in real value — not fluff or guessworkIf you're ready to stop overthinking and finally create an offer that feels grounded, transformational, and ready to sell — hit play on this episode now.I was scared to sell $3-$5k coaching packagesThere was a time in my business when I felt uneasy on every sales call.Even when someone said yes, my chest would tighten.Shoot. Now I have to deliver.What if I can't get them results?What if they regret working with me? Or even worse…. what if they think it's a waste of money.Sometimes the fear was so strong that I would talk people out of buying.If they had any hesitation, I'd tell them, “Yeah, maybe it's not the right time.”And while I deeply wanted to sell packages for $3-$5k and run a thriving business…I couldn't back my own work.It wasn't because I had unhappy clients—no one ever told me my coaching sucked.But the results my clients experienced weren't consistent.Some clients had massive breakthroughs and tangible shifts.Quitting their job. Starting a business. Landing a dream job.Others just “felt better” at the end.I never knew which way it would go and that uncertainty gnawed at me.It made me second-guess my offers, my content, my sales calls.I didn't feel like I could confidently say, “This is what I do and here's the transformation you'll get.”For a long time, I tried to mindset my way through it.I repeated affirmations.I hyped myself up.I worked on worthiness.But deep down, I knew the truth:I didn't fully believe in the value of my work because it wasn't consistently valuable yet.Creating my six-figure curriculumEverything changed when I made one shift:I created a signature transformational curriculum.Instead of relying on one-off sessions or hoping each client would “get something out of it,” I built a repeatable process—what eventually became my first program, the Career Fulfillment Formula.This was the turning point in my business.Having one clear, transformational process gave me:* A framework I trusted* Consistent, repeatable results for my clients* Confidence to sell high-ticket offers without feeling like a fraudIt became the foundation for my six-figure business.Step One: Commit to One ResultThe first thing I did was commit to one specific result.I distilled my coaching down into a “caveman phrase” of just a few words:Find work you love.Before this, my message was vague: “Follow your dreams,” “Live your best life,” “Unlock your potential.”But how do you create or measure results around things like that.When I got clear on helping people specifically find work they love—their path to fulfillment—everything started to come together.I wasn't just “a life coach.”I was someone who could help people clarify their career direction and find purpose through identifying the work they loved. Step Two: Create the CurriculumWith my one result in mind, I outlined a step-by-step process to help people get there.This wasn't about locking myself in a room and perfecting it for months before showing it to another living soul.I created it through:* Real conversations and market research* My lived experience of finding work I loved* My own zone of genius (mindset, inner work, purpose—not résumés or job applications)The first version of the Career Fulfillment Formula was just an outline.I knew where my ideal clients were starting, and I knew where they wanted to go.So I mapped out how to get them there.Step Three: Test It in Real TimeThe truth is, I couldn't sell the program at first. I tried launching it, and no one bought.But instead of scrapping it entirely, I found the perfect pro bono client—a friend who was exactly my ideal client.We agreed: she'd show up fully for the entire program and in return I'd get her feedback and testimonial.Every week, I created a short video, gave her worksheets, coached her through the material, and refined as we went.By week two or three of putting my pro bono client through the process, new paying clients started signing up.Suddenly I had people going through the program in real time, giving me feedback, and getting results.And this is where everything shifted.The breakthroughs became consistent.The testimonials started flooding in.I could see with my own eyes: this process works.Confidence Through EvidenceOnce I had a process that consistently worked, I no longer needed to hype myself up before sales calls.I didn't have to do affirmations or mantras to “believe in the value of my work”I had evidence.Clients were moving from point A to point B.Their lives were changing.And I could confidently say, “This is the result I help you create.”That evidence built unshakable confidence—something mindset work alone could never give me.What This Means for YouIf you're struggling to sign clients consistently, or if you secretly doubt the value of your work, it might not be a mindset issue.It might be that you don't yet have a signature process.A transformational curriculum that:* Delivers repeatable results* Aligns with your genius and lived experience* Gives you confidence because you know it worksYou don't build confidence by reciting mantras.You build it by creating a transformational process that works. By putting people through your process, and seeing the results over and over again.That's how you create an offer you can stand behind.That's how you build a business on solid ground.And that's how you finally start “believing in the value of your work.”If you're struggling to believe in the value of your work, here's the truth:It's so much easier to back your offers when they're built from your genius.When you understand your unique strengths—and how they translate into real results for your clients—you stop second-guessing yourself. You stop spinning on “What should I sell?” and start creating offers that actually feel like you.That's exactly what my toolkit, Map Your Genius, is designed to help you do.Inside, you'll learn how to:* Identify the strengths you've been overlooking* Pinpoint your unique “genius” (the intersection of your gifts + the value they bring to others)* Turn your genius into aligned offers that deliver real transformationYou'll walk away with a clear map of how to use your genius to help clients get results—and clarity on the offer that's best for you right now.

Why Personal Branding Feels So... Icky (And What to Do About It) This month, we're tackling a big myth: that personal branding means being polished, loud, or self-promotional. And for many leaders I work with, that can feel... icky. The truth? The most effective leaders don't try to be impressive—they focus on being irreplaceable.

Story of the Week (DR):The Cracker Barrel BSCracker Barrel scraps new logo design, keeps 'Old Timer' after listening to customersRestaurant chain's stock price sank following removal of 'Uncle Herschel' from brandingUncle Herschel wasn't just a marketing creation, he was a real person. Born Herschel McCartney, he was the younger brother of Cracker Barrel founder Dan Evins' mother and served as an early goodwill ambassador for the brand. A salesman for Martha White Flour Company for over three decades, Herschel traveled through rural America, building relationships in small-town general stores — the very kinds of places that inspired Cracker Barrel's original design and ethos.When Cracker Barrel introduced its iconic logo in 1969, the old-timer sitting beside the barrel was long thought by fans to be based on Herschel himself, though the company later clarified that this wasn't the case.In 2004, the Justice Department (during the George W. Bush administration) sued the chain for discriminating against Black customers. In 2006, they settled a lawsuit involving three of their Illinois restaurants for “discriminatory practices, racially charged language, and inappropriate touching.”Cracker Barrel's inconvenient fact: all the customers who loved its old logo had stopped going to the restaurantFounder Dan EvinsHis tone was considerably harsher when it came to defending a January 1991 directive to all the company's restaurants to fire employees “whose sexual preferences fail to demonstrate normal heterosexual values.” Mr. Evins's explanation for the edict was that gay people made customers in rural areas uncomfortable. As many as 16 openly or suspected gay employees were promptly fired.“They actually put a policy like this in writing, which was, and still is, shocking,” David Smith, a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign.The New York City Employees Retirement System, which owned more than $6 million of Cracker Barrel shares, led other stock owners in using their votes and other legal means to organize resistance. In March 1991, Mr. Evins apologized and said the policy had been rescinded. But New York and its allies fought until 58 percent of the shareholders in 2002 persuaded Cracker Barrel's board to vote unanimously to explicitly forbid antigay discrimination in its equal employment policy.In July 2001, shareholders replaced Evins as CEO with Michael A. Woodhouse, who at the time was serving as the company's chief operating officer. Evins maintained his position as chairman of the board.Prior to founding the company, Dan worked for Consolidated Oil, a company founded by his grandfather.Cracker Barrel took down Pride page after rebrand fiascoCompany faced criticism over modernist redesign and support for LGBT causes before stock reboundThe website link for Cracker Barrel's Pride page, which used to boast that the company was "bringing the porch to Pride," now redirects to its "Culture and Belonging" page.Cracker Barrel previously sponsored the Nashville Pride Parade in 2024 and unveiled a line of rainbow-colored rocking chairs for Pride month. The company also has an LGBTQ employee resource group called the "LGBTQ+ Alliance," along with groups for veterans and other communities.Despite claims it's 'too woke,' Cracker Barrel actually has a fraught LGBTQ+ historyCracker Barrel received a score of zero on the inaugural index in 2002. The chain was criticized in the 1990s for discrimination against gay employees. In 1991, the company adopted a corporate policy stating that any worker who failed to demonstrate "normal heterosexual values" would be fired. Eleven employees were terminated under the rule, leading to boycotts and protests nationwide. Over time, Cracker Barrel's HRC score improved, reaching 80 in 2021 after the company took several public pro-LGBTQ stances.58 percent of the shareholders in 2002 persuaded Cracker Barrel's board to vote unanimously to explicitly forbid antigay discrimination in its equal employment policy.Proud Representation: Business Resource Groups: These voluntary, employee-led organizations are open to all employees and provide opportunities to network, develop leadership skills, and serve as cross-functional resources for our teams.AMPT (Advancing Modern Professionals for Tomorrow) aims to connect and empower modern professionals by promoting a community of inclusive, ambitious, and diverse members that unify through the Cracker Barrel to equip our community and leaders for the future.

In this episode, J&J tackle a juicy batch of listener emails from kissing on first dates to baby pic icks and leftover disasters. We start off the ep with Jared finding himself stuck in planning hell, trying to lock down a date with one girl over 10 times! Should he keep trying or just wish her the best? One listener asks whether making out too early sends the wrong signal, sparking a deep dive into intentional dating and the 12-date rule. Then, it's an “Icky or Picky” scenario straight from Snapchat hell: a guy reconnects after years apart only to flood her phone with baby selfies and MILF jokes. Ick or endearing? Plus, a date goes sideways when a woman drops her date's bolognese, and he reacts like it's a crime scene. Another listener wonders if being asked to pay for a date's oil change is a red flag. Tune in for laughs, cringe, and straight-up truth bombs about love, attraction, and first date expectations! Watch full ep here
