AJ and Johnny sit down with Daniel Coyle, bestselling author and culture researcher, to explore what it actually means to flourish — and why flourishing is never a solo pursuit. Drawing from his research into thriving communities around the world, Daniel explains why growth, meaning, and fulfillment emerge from connection, friction, and shared purpose rather than individual achievement. They unpack how modern life fragments attention, why efficiency and isolation undermine belonging, and how small, human-scale practices — from rituals to shared meals to “yellow door” moments — can reawaken connection. This conversation reframes success away from optimization and toward aliveness, showing how community, presence, and intentional messiness create lives and workplaces that truly thrive.

Hey Heal Squad! If you've ever wondered what it really takes to turn a dream into reality, and sustain it with grit and determination, you've got to hear this episode!  Maria is with the one and only Anastasia Soare, iconic founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills and author of her new memoir Raising Brows, for an honest about leadership, discipline, health, and legacy. Anastasia is living proof that when you believe in yourself, you can be more powerful than the money, connections, or privilege you may or may not have. Anastasia opens up about immigrating to the U.S. as a single mom after escaping communist Romania in search of freedom, opportunity, and a better life… and how that journey shaped her unshakable mindset. She gets candid about the tough sacrifices and even tougher decisions that came with building her empire (including firing her own daughter from the company!), whether she would ever consider selling her billion-dollar brand, and the health non-negotiables that protect her mental and physical stamina. At its core, this conversation is a reminder how success comes from leading your life with discipline and intention. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS Choosing uncertainty over comfort: Anastasia made the life-altering decision to escape communist Romania, immigrate to the U.S. as a single mother, and bet on herself with no money, no language, and no safety net…prioritizing long-term vision over short-term security. Protecting her health while building success: Anastasia decided early on to manage her emotions, release past trauma, and refuse burnout as the cost of success, focusing on discipline, presence, and health non-negotiables so she could sustain both her empire and her well-being.

Erica Malbon is the co-founder of Malbon Golf—the game-changing, fashionable golfwear and lifestyle brand that seeks to break tradition by inviting anyone and everyone to enjoy what she calls the “greatest game on Earth.” Malbon Golf began as an Instagram mood board created by her husband, a longtime golf enthusiast. When the couple decided to make Malbon into a full-fledged brand, Erica didn't have any experience in the sports or retail industry. That said, she had developed an entrepreneurial spirit from her time as co-founder of her first venture, The Now, an L.A.-based massage business that offers luxury spa treatments at an affordable price point. Having learned firsthand what it takes to run both the operational and creative sides of a company, Erica was more than prepared to reimagine golfwear for a new generation and create a brand with a mission to make the sport more accessible. Since launching in 2017, Malbon has amassed a community of golf lovers that includes veteran fans of the sport, professional athletes, and celebrities like Justin Bieber. And they've expanded their brand around the world with locations in China, South Korea, and the Philippines.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Melanie Bender is the founder and CEO of Lore, a new fragrance brand that creates entire worlds in every bottle. Before becoming a leader in the beauty industry, Bender initially thought she'd enter the world of STEM. In college, she studied aerospace engineering and environmental science before becoming an environmental planner in her home state of Hawai'i. But her love for fashion and beauty led her to New York. It was there that she started a career that would make her an expert in every part of the process of brand-building—from PR to product development to marketing. Her natural talent and reputation led her to help grow beauty brands Versed and Merit before she was tapped to serve as the CEO of Hailey Bieber's Rhode. But she never abandoned what she learned when she studied STEM. She often credits the scientific method as the formula to entrepreneurial success that's gotten her to where she is today. Now, after more than a decade of building businesses across the beauty industry and leading them to new heights, Melanie's launched her own with Lore—her fragrance line that debuted at Sephora this year.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Selena Gomez, Jacob Elordi, Zendaya, Cameron Diaz, and even Cardi B can call themselves "self made." Unlike Paris Hilton.

Celia Muñoz is the founder of La Coqueta, a childrenswear brand that infuses traditional Spanish craftsmanship and culture into beautiful designs for kids. Before Muñoz dreamed up the idea for her brand, she studied psychology and then moved from her native Spain to London post-grad, working several jobs across industries—from luxury retail to headhunting. She went back to school to get her master's in mental health while growing her family, but her dream for a kids' fashion brand quickly took over. With no experience in design or business, she launched the brand in 2013. La Coqueta (meaning “well-groomed”) was greeted warmly by families who fell in love with the brand for its high-quality garments, and things only continued to take off after Prince Louis of the Royal Family (son of Prince William and Princess Kate) was spotted wearing a La Coqueta original.

Brynn Putnam is the founder of innovative tech companies Mirror and Board. Before entering the tech space, she spent her first life as a professional ballerina. In between performing with big productions and studying at Harvard University, she taught fitness classes on the side to make ends meet. Her side hustle became her full-time one after college when she started her own fitness boutique in New York. Putnam's pivot into the fitness space would then lead her to tech with her invention of Mirror, a high-tech piece of equipment that could seamlessly bring personalized fitness classes directly into your home. When she launched Mirror in 2019, it was a huge hit—especially during the pandemic when folks were confined to their homes during lockdown. Her company saw so much success that she soon sold it to Lululemon in a deal valued at $500 million. Now, after establishing herself as a tech pioneer, Putnam is onto her next venture in the space—this time with Board, an innovative, first-of-its-kind product that blends the magic of video games with the feel of board games.
