This week's Unholy conversations is a rare interview with Nir Bar Dea, CEO of Bridgewater—the world's largest hedge fund. Bar Dea moves beyond market trends, framing our current moment as a volatile collision between a changing world order, and an unprecedented technological revolution fueled by AI. He offers a sobering perspective on why the comfort of the last several decades has perhaps left us less resilient than the generations before us, urging listeners to view history not as destiny, but as a lesson in the necessity of strength during turbulent times. The conversation turns personal, too: Bar Dea talks about the toll of his own service in the Israeli Air Force, what it's like being Israeli in New York since October 7th, and why he  believes Israel's younger generation might be its greatest asset. 00:00 Intro 01:10 The Iran-US deal and why timing doesn't matter 06:25 Trump as outcome, not cause 09:30 Tough love: why we feel overwhelmed 10:59 Israel's resilient next generation 24:49 The AI infrastructure race — and Israel's gap 27:11 Being Israeli in New York since October 7th 32:54 The hidden cost of IDF service 35:02 Bridgewater's radical transparency culture 41:51 Rebuilding from Nir Oz — a story of hope   Watch us on YouTube:  Follow Unholy and learn more about the pod: https://unholy-podcast.lovable.app/ Join our Patreon community to get access to bonus episodes, discounts on merch and more: https://bit.ly/UnholyPatreon   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

"When are you getting married?" It's the question Georgie Tunny and Rob Mills get asked more than any other. Closely followed by: "What about babies?" After seven years together and four years engaged, the couple sit down with Kate Langbroek to talk about the future they're building together, why they're in no rush to follow anyone else's timeline, and the DM that started it all. From Georgie leaving Rob on read for months to the first coffee date that changed everything, this conversation is full of the stories you've probably never heard before. They talk about ambition, career setbacks, long engagements, mental health, life in the spotlight, Georgie's debut novel Over To You, Rob's dream role in Waitress, and why the Paris Hilton chapter of his life is one they're both quite happy to laugh about now. Mostly, though, this feels less like an interview and more like sitting at a table with three friends catching up on all the gossip. Georgie Tunny's debut novel, Over To You is available now.

Franklin Foer is the man who declared that the golden age of American Jewry is over - or at least ending. Two years on — in the aftermath of October 7th and the Gaza war, collapsing bipartisan support for Israel, a wave of antisemitism from both left and right, and a military misadventure in Iran — he thinks he underestimated the problem. This week, Yonit and Jonathan sit down with Foer, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of the landmark piece that became required reading in Jewish communities across America. They discuss whether the anti-AIPAC pledge that has become a feature of Democratic primaries is classical antisemitism in new clothing; how a forgotten Jewish genius from Odessa might explain what American Jews are supposed to do now; and why Foer refuses — loudly — to bow to fatalism. Also: Bob Dylan's existential crisis, Abraham Joshua Heschel's ode to the Sabbath, and how soccer helps explain at least one aspect of modern Jewish life.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Michael Bacon for a conversation that moves naturally through songwriting, teaching, film scoring, orchestration, and the long arc of a creative life.Michael reflects on the musical education that shaped him, both formal and informal. He talks about returning to Lehman as an adult to fill in gaps in theory, harmony, counterpoint, and music history, and about the profound influence of composer John Corigliano. We also dig into Michael's early life in Philadelphia, where public school music programs, orchestral experiences, folk music, and an extraordinary listening environment at home all helped form his wide musical palette.One of my favorite parts of this conversation is hearing Michael talk about range: why he is drawn to music that can be beautiful, unsettling, lyrical, loud, delicate, and emotionally direct all at once. That idea connects everything he does, from songwriting with The Bacon Brothers to his work as a film composer and orchestrator. He has no interest in staying in one narrow lane, and that comes through clearly in the way he describes both his influences and his process.We also spend time on collaboration: co-writing in Nashville, writing with his brother Kevin Bacon, adding Mayer to the band, and the trust required to make any long-running musical partnership work. By the end of the conversation, what stands out most is Michael's clarity about what sustains a creative life: deep listening, family support, musical curiosity, and the willingness to keep showing up for the work.Key TakeawaysMichael Bacon balances multiple musical identities: songwriter, film composer, educator, orchestrator, and performer.He studied at Lehman College, and his time with John Corigliano helped strengthen the technical foundation behind his creative instincts.Growing up in Philadelphia, surrounded by music at home and in public school programs, had a lasting impact on his musical language.His values range in music—beauty, tension, melody, fear, dynamics, and emotional contrast all matter to him as a composer.His songwriting process differs depending on the setting, from structured Nashville co-writes to more personal, experience-driven songs.Collaboration in The Bacon Brothers works because Michael and Kevin bring different strengths, influences, and instincts to the same songs.Writing for orchestra remains one of Michael's deepest creative joys, especially when he can bring that world into live performance.Music from the EpisodePut Your Hand Up - The Bacon BrothersAirport Bar - The Bacon BrothersPeople in the World - The Bacon BrothersAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by me, Brad Williams, featuring thoughtful conversations with musicians, songwriters, composers, and artists about craft, creativity, collaboration, and the stories behind the music.Connect with the ShowEmail: contact@thebandwichtapes.com

In this episode of Everything Is Personal, Len May sits down with writer, producer, and creative force Jennifer Manocherian for a conversation about reinvention, storytelling, and the lifelong pursuit of curiosity. Jennifer shares how her journey through therapy, theatre production, screenwriting, and novel writing helped shape her understanding of creativity, relationships, and personal growth. The discussion explores what it means to keep evolving through every stage of life, why some people never stop creating, and how curiosity can become a powerful tool for resilience and transformation. The episode also dives into family dynamics, emotional growth, creative challenges, aging with purpose, and the importance of continuing to explore new ideas even when the world expects you to slow down. This conversation is ultimately about staying open to possibility and refusing to stop becoming who you are meant to be. The conversation also covers family, relationships, creative challenges, personal growth, writing, and how curiosity and adaptability can help shape a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Kevin, Art, and I$real sit down for a real, raw, and hilarious conversation packed with inspiration, deep thoughts, wild theories, and nonstop energy.

Episode SummaryOn this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Liam Duncan, the Winnipeg singer-songwriter, producer, and bandleader better known as Boy Golden. Liam has been carving out a distinct lane in modern roots music through records like Church of Better Daze, For Jimmy, For Eden, and now Best of Our Possible Lives, his 2026 album released by Six Shooter Records. Along the way, he has earned major recognition in Canada, including a Juno nomination for For Eden and a Canadian Folk Music Award, while continuing to grow as both an artist and a producer.  We begin with the new album itself, which feels relaxed on first listen but reveals a deeper level of craft the more time you spend with it. Liam talks about the balance between intentional songwriting and the freedom of a loose studio environment, and he explains how careful pre-production gave the band room to breathe once the red light was on. That combination of structure and openness runs through the whole conversation.We spend a good stretch of time on the making of Best of Our Possible Lives, including Liam's collaboration with co-producer Robbie Lackritz and a remarkable studio cast that includes Pino Palladino, Abe Rounds, Austin Parachoniak, FONTINE, Gabe Noel, and Joseph Shabason. Liam shares what it was like to sing and play inside a rhythm section that strong, how live the sessions really were, and why letting go of technical responsibilities helped him become a better performer in the room. The result is a record that feels warm, human, and deeply played.  From there, the conversation opens out into larger questions about communication, collaboration, songwriting, and identity. Liam talks about learning to speak differently to different musicians, the value of being both a bandleader and a sideman, and why he does not feel especially tied to recreating his records onstage. We also get into the meaning behind the name Boy Golden, the freedom of writing through an alter ego, and the way fiction, metaphor, and autobiography all live together inside a song.What I love about this conversation is that Liam is thoughtful without sounding guarded. He is clearly serious about songs, sound, and arrangement, but he also leaves room for instinct, humor, and surprise. This episode is about more than one record. It is about what happens when an artist learns to prepare deeply, trust the people around him, and leave enough space for the music to become what it wants to become.Key TakeawaysLiam built Best of Our Possible Lives through a mix of deliberate songcraft and a relaxed, collaborative studio process.Working with players like Pino Palladino and Abe Rounds gave the music a rhythmic center that made everything else feel easier to sing and play over.Sharing production duties with Robbie Lackritz allowed Liam to step away from technical tasks and focus more fully on performance.  He adjusts how he communicates musical ideas depending on the player, whether that means theory, feel-based language, or simply playing something through a few more times.The Boy Golden name gave Liam more artistic freedom than writing under his own name, especially in how he blends truth, fiction, and storytelling.He values live performance as an art form in its own right and is not especially interested in reproducing studio recordings exactly onstage.He is already thinking ahead creatively, including new writing methods and experiments with combining multiple song ideas into larger suites.Music from the EpisodeBoy Golden - You Got itBoy Golden - SufferBoy Golden - The Matter at HandBoy Golden - Best of Our Possible LivesBoy Golden - ChickadeeAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast where I sit down with musicians, songwriters, producers, and creative thinkers for thoughtful conversations about craft, collaboration, career, and the deeper philosophy of making music.

In Part 3 of our continuing conversation, Jim Ellermeyer welcomes back returning guest Joanna Lowe for an unfiltered discussion about grief, anger, trauma, survival, and the complicated reality of healing after profound loss. Joanna opens up about the experience of widowhood, the emotional isolation of grief, and the well-meaning things people say that often miss the mark. She discusses the importance of allowing yourself to fully feel emotions instead of hiding them, how friends and family supported her during suicidal ideation, and the ways grief reshaped her relationship with her daughter. The conversation also explores: How to support someone who is grieving without smothering them Why “How are you?” can feel impossible to answer Anger toward God, loved ones, and life itself Trauma, emotional honesty, and parenting through grief The balance between needing solitude and needing connection Why every person experiences grief differently Joanna also discusses her one-woman show Widow, which she is bringing to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and how storytelling can help teach people how to truly love and support those who are grieving.

 Ghost Town Road | Country Artist Ryan Bodine Talks Newberry Springs & Route 66. Welcome back to the Outdoor Adventure Series!

In Part 3 of our continuing conversation, Jim Ellermeyer welcomes back returning guest Joanna Lowe for an unfiltered discussion about grief, anger, trauma, survival, and the complicated reality of healing after profound loss. Joanna opens up about the experience of widowhood, the emotional isolation of grief, and the well-meaning things people say that often miss the mark. She discusses the importance of allowing yourself to fully feel emotions instead of hiding them, how friends and family supported her during suicidal ideation, and the ways grief reshaped her relationship with her daughter. The conversation also explores: How to support someone who is grieving without smothering them Why “How are you?” can feel impossible to answer Anger toward God, loved ones, and life itself Trauma, emotional honesty, and parenting through grief The balance between needing solitude and needing connection Why every person experiences grief differently Joanna also discusses her one-woman show Widow, which she is bringing to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and how storytelling can help teach people how to truly love and support those who are grieving.

In this deeply honest and inspiring conversation, Lucas Mack welcomes back Matthew Gauger of Greenhorn Grove for a second episode that goes far beyond gardening tips. Matthew shares his unlikely journey from nightclub promoter in Charlotte to homesteader and social media mentor, describing how a simple tomato from his first, very imperfect garden became a life-changing “AHA” moment that set him on a totally new path. Matthew opens up about building a 25-acre homestead in South Carolina, launching his charity Here We Grow, and his mission to grow thousands of pounds of food to feed the homeless, nursing homes, churches, and schools—often doing the physical work alone with just his dog for company. He also talks about partnering with the Better Together Coalition to help rebuild over 300 homes in Western North Carolina after devastating floods. The conversation then moves into a raw and vulnerable space as Matthew shares how divorce, the possible loss of his land, and six months without seeing his kids have tested his faith. Together, Lucas and Matthew explore darkness vs. light, the duality of this world vs. the oneness of God, and how nature, seeds, weeds, and even the golden ratio in creation reveal the fingerprints of a divine Artist. Along the way, they touch on Blue Zones, whole-food living, resilience, continual learning, and the spiritual lessons of homesteading. This episode is an invitation to see gardening and homesteading as a path to healing, faith, and personal freedom—and a reminder that even when life feels upside down, planting seeds (both in the ground and in the heart) can still lead to unexpected abundance. https://www.instagram.com/greenhorngrove Thank you for listening – if you're struggling to break free and need support – go to my website and www.lucasmack.com.

The Iran war may be over — or it may not. In the space of a few hours this week, Washington ordered warships into the Strait of Hormuz, paused the operation, threatened to resume bombing at higher intensity, and then declared peace was near.  Yonit and Jonathan cut through the chaos — and ask the question the ceasefire deal still hasn't answered: what happened to Iran's nuclear stockpile?  Also this week: Bezalel Smotrich calls October 7th "a tactical failure" and says including Arab parties in government would be a thousand times worse. Gadi Eisenkot and former Shin Bet chief Yoram Cohen join forces. Netanyahu's plea deal murmurs get louder. The UK goes to the polls with antisemitism front and center. And the Chutzpah and Mensch awards both go to the same unlikely figure: Nick Cave, who told a hostile fan to go F himself — and blamed his wife's absence.

Forty days of war with Iran. Four weeks of an uneasy ceasefire. And one verdict that nobody in Washington wants to say out loud: the Islamic Republic came out of this stronger. Dr. Suzanne Maloney, Vice President of the Brookings Institution's foreign policy program and one of America's most trusted voices on Iran, joins Yonit and Jonathan as US warships attempt to escort vessels through a Strait of Hormuz that Iran still effectively controls. They get into whether the ceasefire can hold, why the nuclear threat was never really addressed, who is actually making decisions inside Tehran now that the supreme leader is gone, and what a realistic deal — if one exists — might look like.

Yonit and Jonathan discuss the Golders Green knife attack and the wave of antisemitism hitting Britain since October 7th; the Bennett–Lapid merger and what it means for Israel's October elections; whether the Iran–Israel war is on pause or simply reloading; Jake Sullivan's bombshell statement on arms sales to Israel; and — in the awards — Israeli police cutting a Palestinian flag from a Jewish man's kippah, and King Charles delivering a Magna Carta reminder to Congress that Democrats jumped to their feet for.  Watch us on youtube: https://youtu.be/tCqzaU-DlPM This week on Unholy Conversations - Howard Jacobson: https://youtu.be/aB-eNbxb41w

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley explains why distributable cash is the most critical metric for e-commerce business health. He clarifies the difference between net income and distributable cash, warning against reinvesting all profits and leaving yourself financially vulnerable. Josh recommends distributing roughly one-third of net income while retaining working capital for growth. He also shares his personal wealth-building framework, allocating distributable cash across life insurance, S&P 500 index funds, turnkey real estate, and speculative assets, helping entrepreneurs build lasting personal wealth independent of their business's uncertain future.Links and Mentions:E-commerce Platforms  "Shopify": "00:00:00"  "Amazon": "00:00:00"  "TikTok Shop": "00:00:00"  Financial Concepts  "Distributable Cash": "00:01:02"  "Net Income": "00:01:02"  "Cash Conversion Cycle": "00:02:09"  Investment Recommendations  "Life Insurance": "00:13:29"  "S&P 500 VOO Index Fund": "00:15:24"  "Roth IRA": "00:16:18"  "REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts)": "00:18:14"  Books and Videos  "Podcast Episode with Mike Olson": "00:14:31"  "Podcast Interview with Dew Wealth": "00:17:18"  Additional Notes  "Speculative Investments": "00:19:55"  "Oil Investment Opportunities": "00:20:39"Timestamps:00:00:00 Introduction & Host BackgroundJosh introduces himself, his e-commerce experience, and the purpose of the E-com Breakthrough Podcast.00:01:02 The #1 Business Metric: Distributable CashExplains distributable cash, how it differs from net income, and why it's crucial for business health.00:02:09 Importance of Working Capital vs. Owner DistributionsDiscusses the need to balance reinvesting in the business with distributing profits to owners.00:03:17 When to Reinvest vs. Distribute CashDescribes scenarios for high reinvestment and sets a 33% distributable cash target for most businesses.00:04:31 Why Distributable Cash Matters for EntrepreneursExplains the risks of relying on a future exit and the benefits of building wealth through regular distributions.00:05:30 Risks of Operating in Others' SandboxesHighlights the vulnerability of e-commerce businesses to platform changes and the importance of diversifying wealth.00:07:23 Psychological Benefits of Distributable CashDescribes how having cash outside the business reduces stress and enables better decision-making.00:08:51 Common Mistake: Confusing Net Income with Distributable CashShares a cautionary story about an entrepreneur who misused net income, leading to debt and financial trouble.00:10:36 Key Lessons: Annual Distributions & Retaining Working CapitalEmphasizes the importance of annual cash distributions and not treating all net income as distributable.00:11:29 What To Do With Distributable Cash: Josh's FrameworkIntroduces Josh's personal strategy for allocating distributable cash to build long-term wealth.00:13:29 Bucket 1: Life InsuranceExplains using life insurance for creditor protection, steady growth, and as a financial safety net.00:15:24 Bucket 2: S&P 500 Index Funds & Retirement AccountsAdvocates for steady, long-term growth via index funds and maximizing tax-advantaged retirement accounts.00:17:18 Bucket 3: Real EstateRecommends turnkey single-family homes over short-term rentals to avoid creating another business.00:19:55 Bucket 4: Speculative InvestmentsAllocates a small portion to speculative assets like crypto or individual stocks for potential upside.00:20:39 Bonus: Oil Investment OpportunitiesMentions investing as a limited partner in oil drilling for tax benefits and passive income.00:21:32 Conclusion & Call to ActionEncourages listeners to share the episode, leave reviews, and spread the word.Transcript:Josh Hadley 00:00:00  Do you want to know whether your business is healthy or not? Whether you're going to be succeeding over the next five years or whether you're going to be struggling? Today? I'm going to be sharing with you the number one business metric that tells you the exact health of your business and whether you're about to continue to grow or decline. Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, I'm Josh Hadley. I've scaled my own ecommerce brand from 0 to 8 figures, and I'm actively building towards nine figures in sales. This podcast is where I document that journey and share the systems, the strategies, and the lessons learned in real time so that you can learn what actually matters and scale your own business first and foremost. Who am I? My name is Josh Hadley. I'm a man of faith. I am a father of four and a husband to a beautiful wife. I've been in the e-commerce space for over ten years, and I'm doing over $20 million and doing multi millions on Shopify, TikTok shop and Amazon as well. And also the host of the Ecom Breakthrough podcast, which is the number one business strategy podcast for ecommerce.Josh Hadley 00:01:02  Let's talk about what the number one business metric is that allows you to know whether your business is healthy and that is distributable cash. Let's talk about what distributable cash is because it's actually different from net income. Net income is what is left over after you have, you know, basically run the business over the course of the month or over the year, right. So you're going to take out your cost of goods. You're going to take out fulfillment costs. You're going to take out advertising, your overhead expenses, salaries, etc.. What's left over is your net income. Here's where a lot of entrepreneurs and business owners go wrong. They mistakenly think that, oh, I netted whatever that net income amount is. And then they think that's my personal money. That's all distributable cash. And the reason why this is so important to delineate between distributable cash and actual net income is for the following reason. Your business needs working capital in order to grow. And so working capital is what allows you to go hire that next person, or to go invest into a new product that you have never released, or to reorder additional products that are already selling well, that are maybe growing quickly.Josh Hadley 00:02:09  And so it's important that you do not a starve the business for the working capital that it needs, but be it is also very important that you are actually able to distribute a profit or distributable cash to the owner of the business. And here's why I argue that this distributable cash is the number one metric for a healthy business. If you have to take, let's say it's it's 90% of your net income and reinvest it into the business just to keep it afloat. It means a you probably have a really bad cash conversion cycle, which if you want to learn a little bit more about that, go check out some of my other podcast episodes where I do talk about the cash conversion cycle and how to optimize it so that you have a very healthy cash conversion cycle, even a negative cash conversion cycle where you get paid even before you've had to outlay any money for generating that revenue or that cell. It is possible, even inside a...

In this episode, we break it down the eight essential tips for preparing your podcast guest to be interviewed.First, we stress the importance of headphones (you'd be surprised at how many people skip this). Next up, we talk about the mic situation; because nobody wants to hear your guest's laptop struggle to pick up their golden nuggets of wisdom. We also explore giving your podcast guest an outline of topics or questions. This helps them prepare and alleviates any pre-interview jitters.Plus, we dive into how to promote their offerings during the episode. The real clinch of this episode, though, is bringing it back to the very real point that it's no-one's responsibility to promote your podcast episodes other than you.Read the Blog Post >> How to Prepare to Host a Podcast Interview to Get the Best Out of Your Podcast GuestsTakeaways:Always ask your podcast guest to wear headphones for better audio quality, trust me, it makes a difference!Using a separate microphone instead of a laptop mic is a game-changer for sound quality, even a cheap one works wonders!Make sure to explain where your guest should record to avoid noisy disasters - quiet, comfy spaces are key!Share an outline of questions or topics with your guest ahead of time, it's courteous and helps them prepare!Encourage your guest to promote any offers or freebies during the episode, it's only fair since they're giving their time!Don't forget to clarify who your audience is because assumptions can lead to awkward interview moments and miscommunication!Episodes Mentioned in This Episode:Ep 121: Everything You Need to Know About Hosting a Podcast InterviewEp 96: Do You HAVE to Wear Headphones When Recording Your Podcast Episodes? with Ash from Shure

Watch us on Youtube: https://youtu.be/HFowIpBxqKs  Rachel Goldberg-Polin has stood before the UN, met with presidents, and worn a number on her chest every single day until there were no more hostages in Hamas captivity. Now, months after Hersh was murderd, she sat down and wrote a book. When We See You Again is not a hostage story and not a political reckoning. It is, as Rachel describes it, a painful love story — a grief memoir written "with one finger from underneath a truck," with no distance, no perspective, and no pretense that any of that is coming soon. In this conversation with Yonit and Jonathan, Rachel talks about the moment a released hostage told her Hersh had heard her voice in captivity, why she refused to name the officials who promised and delivered nothing, the 87 pages she cut and called "the suitcase," and how Hersh's memory will become a "revolution for go.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Robin Bailey is one of Australia’s most recognisable radio voices. Warm, open, and deeply relatable, she’s built a career on making other people feel less alone. But behind that voice is a life shaped by repeated, unimaginable loss. In this conversation, Robin sits down with Kate Langbroek to share the moments that changed everything. From losing her father as a child, to the devastating death of her first husband, and later, the loss of her second husband to cancer, Robin speaks with a level of honesty that is at times breathtaking. She reflects on the moment she had to tell her three young sons that their father had died, and the decision she made about how they would face that grief together. She also opens up about the more complicated chapters of her life, including the choices she’s wrestled with and the long road back to herself. This is a conversation about grief, but it’s also about resilience. About motherhood, survival, and what it really takes to keep going when life keeps changing in ways you never expected. Robin’s memoir, Flamingos Aren’t Born Pink is out now. If this episode raises anything for you, support is available at Lifeline (13 11 14) or beyondblue.org.au.

Lisa Wilkinson was one of the most recognisable faces in Australian media. Then, almost overnight, she was gone. In this episode of No Filter, she sits down with Kate Langbroek to unpack what led to that moment, and what came after. From her early career in magazines to the highs and pressures of breakfast television, Lisa reflects on the roles that defined her, and what it meant to lose them. She speaks candidly about not getting the chance to say goodbye, becoming the focus of intense public scrutiny, and navigating a period that forced her to reassess everything. At the same time, she was writing her most ambitious project yet, a book about Titanic survivor Evelyn Marsden, a story that became both an escape and a way through. This is a conversation about success, backlash, identity, and the reality of starting again. For more information on The Titanic Story of Evelyn by Lisa Wilkinson click here.

But the relief is complicated: Israeli bombardment of Hezbollah in Lebanon has already shifted the world's anger from Washington back to Jerusalem.

This week is a little different: usually I'm the one asking the questions, but this time I'm on the other side. My friend Sophie had me on as the first guest to her new podcast, Late to the Party, where she interviewed me. This conversation ended up feeling surprisingly cathartic and was the most honest I've ever been while being recorded. She gave me a container to share and her genuine interest, thoughtful questions, and care gave me the confidence to open up about things I haven't. This episode fills in a lot of the story of what's been happening with not only me these last several years but also tells the full story of the podcast,  from beginning to the middle, I'm still in now. Sophie's show, Late To the Party is a perfect companion to this show, it's for anyone who feels a little behind in love, work, or life, or is growing into something new. It was an honor to be her first guest and listen to all the episodes she's aired since.   Show Notes / Resources / Mentions: Late to the Party Podcast Instagram @latetotheparty_pod Sophie Ragir @sophragir Find Katie: Katie's Substack | IG: @letitouttt + @katiedalebout | Zine shop is here!
