In an era where “understanding everyone's feelings” often replaces holding standards, Andrew and I unpack how good intentions can quietly corrupt outcomes. The conversation cuts through the noise of soft leadership to reveal a tougher truth: empathy without clarity creates confusion, resentment, and burnout.We trace how businesses drift from mission to maintenance, how leaders lose edge trying to be liked, and why clarity—not compassion—actually sustains culture. Andrew shares frameworks he's used to reintroduce accountability in teams that have “care fatigue,” where emotional overload blocks progress.This episode isn't anti-empathy. It's a reminder that empathy, like power, must be used with precision—or it turns toxic.TL;DR* Empathy becomes corruption when it excuses poor performance.* Great leaders balance compassion with consequence.* “Understanding” doesn't mean “accepting”—clarity builds trust faster.* Accountability is the highest form of respect.* Teams burn out when emotion replaces direction.* The fix: empathy guided by structure, not sentiment.Memorable Lines“Empathy without standards becomes permission for mediocrity.”“If you care about your people, hold them to the level they're capable of.”“Leaders don't lose teams by being firm—they lose them by being fuzzy.”“The real kindness is clarity.”GuestAndrew Oxley — Founder & Leadership Strategist, helping organizations rebuild cultures around accountability, clarity, and growth without sacrificing human connection.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-oxley-tog/Website: http://www.transformingresults.comWhy This MattersWe've mistaken comfort for care. Real empathy isn't about protecting people from discomfort—it's helping them grow through it.When businesses learn to pair empathy with standards, they don't just get better performance—they get stronger humans.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

Most founders think ads are the only scalable way to grow. They aren't. Aiden shows how outbound, done right, can outperform paid social—no algorithms, no ad bans, no CPM spikes. The secret isn't “more hustle.” It's smarter tech: parallel dialing that filters bad data, avoids spam flags, and connects live calls 10x faster.We trace the fall of traditional cold calls (three live connections per hundred dials), the rise of AI limits under TCPA, and why Facebook ads have quietly become a treadmill of copy rewrites, rising costs, and bot clicks. Aiden's model flips the script—less burn, more control, and measurable consistency.Even more surprising: the next generation of inside sales agents aren't in Silicon Valley—they're Egyptian lawyers earning more cold-calling than in law. Global leverage meets old-school grit.This isn't nostalgia for boiler rooms. It's data-driven, tech-enabled human connection.TL;DR* “Cold calling is dead” is a myth—it just evolved with smarter tools.* Parallel dialers reach 700–800 numbers/hour with adaptive line control.* Real cost advantage: your time + dialer fee vs $10K ad testing cycles.* AI callers are banned under TCPA—human voice still wins trust.* Best ROI: trained inside sales agents + verified mobile data = predictable leads.* Bonus: outbound also builds partnerships, not just direct sales.Memorable lines“Cold calling isn't dead—it's just been automated, filtered, and reborn.”“You can't out-ad Facebook's algorithm, but you can out-call your competition.”“Consistency beats creativity when your pipeline depends on people.”“AI can't legally sell for you—but real humans still can.”GuestAiden Sowa — Founder & CEO of Zoto Dialer, building next-gen multi-dialing systems that balance pickup rate, compliance, and speed for sales teams worldwide.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aidansowa/Website: https://www.zotodialer.co/Why this mattersScaling isn't about finding the next hack—it's about control.Cold calling 2.0 delivers what ads can't: consistent reach, predictable costs, and direct conversations that build trust faster than clicks. If inbound is chaos, outbound is the discipline that steadies growth.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

We trace why “bring your whole self to work” fell flat, how subtle detractor patterns (ignoring, courtesy code switching, email habits) silently erode trust, and why inclusion is less about demographics and more about everyday micro-behaviors. Kimberly makes it real: when team members only get replies if they CC the boss, people stop trying. When leaders say they value input but don't create safety, trust collapses.The surprise? Homogeneous teams with strong inclusion behaviors can outperform diverse ones without them. Inclusion isn't about who's at the table—it's whether voices matter once they're there.I push back on the myth of “leader angst”: making things better is the leader's job. Kimberly adds the missing truth: the biggest cost isn't money or time—it's the vulnerability of having real conversations with your team.This isn't theory. It's leadership on the line. And it's the difference between wasting hours in ignored emails versus amplifying effectiveness by 30% with no extra cost—just courage.TL;DR* Inclusion ≠ diversity quotas—it's behaviors that create belonging.* Five detractor patterns silently kill inclusion (ignoring, courtesy code switching, etc.).* Leaders can't outsource inclusion—HR can't carry this, only teams can.* Effectiveness jumps when small friction points (like ignored emails) get fixed.* The real cost: leaders must get vulnerable, confront team dynamics, and stay accountable.Memorable lines “No one wakes up in the morning saying, ‘I hope I'm excluded today.'” “Courtesy code switching sounds respectful—but it actually silences voices.” “Making things better is literally the leader's job. Otherwise, a bot could replace you.” “Inclusion isn't a social program—it's how you answer your team's emails.”Guest Kimberly Lewis Parsons — Founder & CEO of Bamboo Teaming; expert in inclusive teaming, executive team coaching, and shifting leaders from ineffective habits to productive collaboration.

We start with a simple truth: if something triggers you, it owns you. From marriages strained by defensiveness, to children calling out their father's lack of emotional intelligence, Chad shows how unchecked reactions erode trust, respect, and legacy.His own turning point came when his son told him he had “zero emotional intelligence.” Instead of firing back, Chad began the slow work of asking why every sharp word stung—and what it revealed about his need for respect, affirmation, and value.We explore how men often hide behind discipline, how protection and fear shape family dynamics, and why “being open” is useless if you don't create a safe environment for truth. The conversation turns personal—broken trust, blended families, strokes, and the moment Chad realized decades of construction projects weren't a legacy if his family couldn't stand him.The fix isn't perfection. It's self-awareness. Triggers are symptoms. And the healing comes when you let the people you've hurt tell you the truth—and you listen.TL;DR* Triggers own you until you own them.* Overreactions reveal insecurity, not reality.* Emotional intelligence starts with self-awareness, not slogans.* Legacy is people, not projects.* Leaders (and fathers) go first—healing is contagious.Memorable lines “Anything that triggers you is telling you more about yourself than the other person.” “Legacy isn't bridges or hotels—it's your kids wanting to talk to you.” “If you don't create a safe environment, your ‘openness' is just virtue signaling.”Guest Chad Brignac — Transformationalist consultant, speaker, and author of Blend Don't Break, focused on self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and healing through small shifts.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/chadmbrignac/Why this matters Whether at work or at home, unchecked triggers destroy trust. Healing them isn't just about avoiding fights—it's about building a legacy of respect, connection, and compassion.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

Right now, companies are leaning hard on AI—sometimes instead of people. Engagement is tanking, anxiety is spiking, and most leaders have no playbook. We unpack why workers sneak AI into their jobs, how silence from the top fuels fear, and why “pizza parties” don't solve the fulfillment gap.The real story: engagement ≠ purpose. People want meaning, not slogans. And AI, like an Ivy League intern, can't deliver that alone. Leaders need to connect tools, people, and mission—or risk losing their best talent.TL;DR* AI intern: smart but needs human guidance.* Engagement ≠ fulfillment: employees want purpose, not perks.* Fear gap: no AI policy = employees assume worst.* Work-life is merging: productivity ≠ meaning.* Future leaders: integrators who connect tech + humanity.Memorable lines “AI is like having an Ivy League intern—smart, fast, but still an intern.” “Engagement is attention. Fulfillment is purpose. Don't confuse the two.” “If leaders don't talk about AI, employees will imagine the worst.”GuestJaime Raul Zepeda — CEO, Best Companies Group; 15 years studying engagement; former VP at Great Place to Work.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaimezepeda/Website: https://jaimeraulzepeda.com/Why this matters To thrive in the AI era, companies must design for reality: clear AI policies, honest leadership, and cultures where people find meaning—not just a paycheck.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

As September closes, forget lukewarm goals because this conversation is about striking the match yourself. Kelly of Western Workouts joins us for a conversation about the kind of fire fueled by self-belief, reckless confidence, and a refusal to waste energy on what doesn't matter.This episode began, as many of our best ones do, with a yap-and-cheer session that turned into a bonfire of ideas. We talk about why spite may get you moving, but it never leaves you satisfied, and why a process you love always beats an outcome that looks shiny but feels empty.Kelly brings her perspective from training horses, bodies, and minds. We add our lens of capacity, discernment, and real-life integration. Together we unravel what it means to build a fire of our own; whether that means claiming your time back from distractions, letting go without fanfare, or saying yes to hard things without fearing how hard they'll be.Listen In For …Why a self-belief bonfire outlasts a spite-fueled spark every time.The practice of reckless confidence: deciding you'll figure it out, then getting to work.How to be unbothered by noise, urgency, and opinions that don't serve you.The case for integration over silos when it comes to motherhood, work, and identity.When to simply step back into the bushes: no drama, no debate, just disengagement.Why discipline is less about willpower and more about respecting your own energy.How patience and slow-burn often set the stage for your boldest moves.The role your people play in elevating your fire instead of draining it.TL;DR (Minute by Minute)00:00 September check-in and the fire worth tending.06:15 Spite vs. self-belief: why empty wins don't satisfy.10:00 Process over outcome: act, adjust, repeat.25:30 Practicing being unbothered: disengaging with grace.30:00 Integration > silos: motherhood, work, identity.36:20 Reckless confidence and pouring the gasoline at your feet.42:45 Circles, standards, and raising your own algorithm.48:00 Closing: presence through the holidays, confidence that sustains.Where to Go From HereJoin the conversation: Screenshot this episode and tag @cowgirlsovercoffee and @westernworkouts on Instagram/Threads—tell us where you're pouring your gasoline this season.Grab the free Routine Playbook: Build daily structure that makes acting (and adjusting) easier.Connect with Kelly: Follow Western Workouts for strength, stamina, and no-nonsense confidence.Stay in the loop: Subscribe, review, and share so more women can light fires that actually last.

Most leaders think they're setting the tone—but often, it's someone else. Matt breaks down how to identify the real influencers in the room, recognize subtle shifts, and build a repeatable process for situational mastery.From his decades in sports medicine and leadership research, Matt shows how the same tools used to train Olympic athletes apply to executives, dads, and anyone navigating high-stakes conversations.TL;DR* Situational mastery ≠ luck: it's about recognizing, reordering, responding, and reflecting (the R4 framework).* Invisible cues rule the room: deep sighs, eye rolls, micro-pauses—miss these and you miss the moment.* Leaders aren't always the influencers: figure out who others look to for cues, and win them as allies.* Tacit knowledge = wisdom: mastery comes from integrating hindsight, insight, and foresight (3D thinking).* The pace of change breaks hindsight: you can't solve today's problems with yesterday's logic—blend past, present, and future.* No solo mastery: like Dickens' Scrooge, you need “ghosts” (mentors, coaches, truth-tellers) to correct blind spots.Memorable lines* “The metrics of success shift every time the room shifts.”* “Most leaders think they're setting the tone—usually, they're not.”* “Tacit knowledge is intuition you can trust, and it can be learned.”* “You can't solve today's problems with yesterday's logic.”* “Every leader needs to know their Kissinger in the room.”GuestMatt Kutz, PhD — Professor of Sports Medicine & Athletic Training; VP of the World Federation of Athletic Training and Therapy; author of 8+ books on leadership, human performance, and global strategy.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmattkutz/Website: http://www.matthewkutz.comWhy this mattersLeaders today operate in a VUCA world—volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous. Titles don't guarantee influence, and old playbooks don't work. Contextual intelligence bridges the gap between knowing and being: it's not just about logic or intuition, but the fusion of both in real time.If you want to lead effectively—whether in boardrooms, classrooms, or family rooms—you need the ability to read the invisible cues, reframe priorities on the fly, and adapt without losing credibility.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

Could Outdoor Economy Conferences be the future of industry gatherings?Today on The Rock Fight, Colin sits down with returning guest Darren Josey (First Seed Sown, Founded Outdoors, Great Malden Outdoors) to unpack what went down at the National Outdoor Economy Conference in North Carolina.Unlike trade shows, these conferences bring together governors, policymakers, state OREC directors, economic developers, tourism leaders, trail builders, and healthcare advocates. All of them focused on one thing: using outdoor recreation to strengthen communities and economies.Colin & Darren discuss:Why states like Tennessee and Arkansas are leading the charge on outdoor rec.How outdoor economy conferences differ from traditional trade shows.Why brands and retailers need to show up and what they stand to gain.The untapped link between outdoor rec and healthcare costs.How states are building infrastructure that literally creates new customers.The opportunity for the outdoor industry to move beyond selling gear into shaping healthier, more resilient communities.TL;DR: The outdoor industry can move beyond its bubble and spoiler: brands that get involved early may benefit the most.Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Tracy and I break down why leaders cling to stories instead of facts, how “no one wants to work” is rarely true, and why 89% turnover in 90 days doesn't mean failure—it means you're solving the wrong problem. We dig into the hidden costs of poor onboarding, why perfection is the enemy of progress, and how small experiments compound into lasting change.We also role-play the hard conversations most leaders avoid: asking for resources, addressing pay gaps, and backing process changes. Tracy shows how turning impact into a clear request transforms whining into influence—and why fear of tough conversations keeps organizations stuck in chaos.The throughline: stop venting, start requesting. Systems won't fix themselves, people won't magically stay, and sales numbers don't rise just because you hope they will. Elite leadership is having the clarity and courage to pitch the real solution.TL;DR* Complaints hide requests: Every gripe signals an unmet need—translate it into a clear ask.* Facts over stories: “No one wants to work” → actually 89% quit in 90 days, but 11% stayed. Find the real cause.* Perfection kills momentum: Incremental fixes beat waiting for the flawless solution.* Onboarding matters: Most “lazy hires” are system failures, not people failures.* Courage in conversations: Leaders stall not because they lack answers, but because they fear asking for change.* Compounding gains: Small, repeatable improvements snowball into massive organizational shifts.Memorable lines* “Every complaint is a poorly worded request.”* “If perfect is the standard, walk out the door now—you'll never reach it.”* “The biggest leap isn't good to great, it's chaos to not that bad.”* “Tough isn't stubborn—tough is smart clarity backed by courage.”GuestTracy Austin — Leadership consultant focused on trade industries and frontline retention. She helps organizations cut turnover, build onboarding systems, and transform complaints into action.

Former EOS implementer, author, and manufacturing CEO Michael Erath joins me to explore what happens when business frameworks turn from liberators into cages—and how elite organizations escape the trap.Rigid systems like EOS can bring chaos under control, but stop short of greatness. Michael and I dig into why prescriptive “20 tools forever” models break down at scale, how to design for outcomes instead of checklists, and why A-player imposters cost more than missed A-players. We unpack the dangers of short-term cost cutting (Intel, GE), the overlooked genius of Eli Goldratt's Theory of Constraints, and why profit-per-X clarity beats generic “best practices.”The theme running through it: systems should serve people and outcomes, not the other way around. Elite organizations don't settle for “not that bad”—they build adaptive frameworks, measure the right constraint, and pursue excellence with discipline.TL;DR* Systems ≠ salvation: EOS and similar tools help kill chaos but cap out at mediocrity.* Mechanical vs. organic: Treat processes like machines when possible, but don't ignore the living, adaptive side of organizations.The A-player trap: The costliest errors are (1) losing true A-players, and (2) mistaking B-players for A-players.* Constraint clarity: TOC says find the one constraint—fixing it yields immediate profit, unlike slow checklist efficiency.* Profit per X: Identify the metric tied to your real constraint (throughput, calendar days, etc.) and align decisions around it.* Outcomes over inputs: Define every role by its most critical outcome, not by tasks or titles.Memorable lines* “Most systems are built for chaos-to-decent. Elite requires more.”* “Don't pay A-player salaries for B-player conformity.”* “World-class accounts payable never made anyone strategic.”* “Profit per X isn't a spreadsheet trick—it's a spotlight on your real constraint.”GuestMichael Erath — Former manufacturing CEO, EOS implementer turned founder of his own operating framework, and author of Five Obsessions of Elite Organizations.https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelerath1/http://www.fiveobsessions.comWhy This MattersBusinesses chasing short-term fixes or worshipping rigid frameworks stay stuck at “good enough.” The path to excellence is clarity: knowing your real constraint, aligning outcomes at every level, and designing systems that bend with your people instead of breaking them. If you want organizations that outlast hype cycles and downturns, trade dogma for discipline.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

There's the kind of work that looks good in a highlight reel, and then there's the kind that smells like bleach in July, stretches four feet from tip to tip, and requires the audacity to keep going when it would be easier to quit. This week we sit down with Cassie Everson of Wanderlust Skulls to talk about the ditch, the mountaintop, and the discipline of making art that endures.Artist and entrepreneur Cassie Everson has been shaping the modern Western aesthetic for nearly a decade through her work as Wanderlust Skulls. If you've ever saved an image of a painted longhorn skull to your Pinterest board, chances are you've already encountered her signature pieces: bold, abstract, distinctly Western, and always authentic.But this conversation isn't a how-to on creative business, it's a rare look into the unglamorous, cyclical reality behind it. Cassie shares the unlikely origins of her work, from finding her first skull in a secondhand shop to teaching herself taxidermy with YouTube and grit. She talks candidly about debt, slow shows, and why art requires you to sell not just an object but a feeling. What emerges is not a formula but a paradox: the work isn't easy, yet over time it generates a surprising sense of ease if you can resist both the panic of failure and the intoxication of quick wins.Listen In For …How Cassie defines her “modern Western abstract” style and why authenticity matters in both art and business.The early, unvarnished realities of teaching yourself taxidermy.What art reveals about selling feeling rather than product, and why story is central to connection.A candid look at the cycles of business: the moments of debt, the long seasons of silence, and the resilience required to keep going.Why meeting both the ditch and the mountaintop with the same determination becomes a critical entrepreneurial skill.The paradox of ease versus easy, and how structure allows a business to feel lighter without diminishing the work.The Vault: Cassie's forthcoming collection of jumbo longhorns with rare shape and scale, designed as bespoke heirloom pieces.TL;DR (Minute by Minute)00:00 Why conversation dissolves comparison.05:30 Cassie's origin story: from a thrifted skull to a modern Western aesthetic.12:00 Real vs. replica: how to identify authentic skulls and why it matters.18:40 The messy middle: early shows, financial setbacks, and learning to continue.24:15 Art as feeling: commissions, story, and connecting beyond the visual.29:50 The difference between ease and easy, and what it demands of us.34:30 The Vault preview: jumbo longhorns, rare breeding, and bespoke design.39:00 Closing: seasons, sovereignty, and the practice of mastering your craft.Where to Go From HereYour turn: what hit home?

Welcome back thanks for joining the Tobin & Leroy show on this. T& L recap the now #2 ranked University of Miami Hurricanes 26-7 win over their in state rival Florida Gators. They go over the improvement of the Canes defense, the physicality of both offensive and defensive lines and how Reuben Bain has become a menace. They go over what went down in week 3 of the NFL. Crazy finishes to the early games some special team blunder that cost people money. We hear from the Miami Heat and their all star guard Tyler Herro who had surgery over his foot and Tobin & Leroy try to figure how long he will be out. Finally, the Miami Marlins are 4 games out of the final wild card spit. Can they pull off the miracle and make it to the post-season.

You shouldn't need to have a breakdown to learn how not to break down. If you're dealing with difficult times and barely holding it together, this episode is for you. If it's ever felt like you may have a nervous breakdown (or if you've already had one), or if you've found yourself heading towards an emotional breakdown, then you'll know the impact that struggling mentally and emotionally can have on your quality of life. So, let's turn things around!In this week's episode of the Let's Talk About Mental Health podcast I'm talking about the importance of protecting your peace and the role it plays in avoiding a breakdown by helping you start spotting the early warning signs. You'll learn what's involved in setting boundaries without guilt, and how to start using simple coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and burnout. I'll show you how to strip life back to what matters, take small daily actions (one day at a time), and choose a steadier pace that actually supports your mental health.

Negotiation coach and author Saad A Saad joins Doug to rethink what “the ask” really means—why win-win isn't always wise, how to thrive even with less power, and why tension isn't the enemy but the spark of creativity.Most people think negotiation is stressful or adversarial. But Saad reframes it asan outcome-based conversation—something we're all in daily, whether with clients, colleagues, or family. We dive into why “dominate or be dominated” is outdated, how over-indexing on win-win kills creativity, and why the real skill shows when you're negotiating from a power disadvantage. Saad also shares his framework from In the Lead: Mastering Your Sales Negotiation—a six-principle model that balances assertiveness and empathy like the two wheels of a bike.TL;DR* Negotiation = outcome-based conversation—happens every day, not just in boardrooms.* Win-lose damages trust, but pure win-win leads to weak, uncreative outcomes.* Power imbalances matter less than you think—focus on clarity of outcome.* Tension and friction aren't threats—they're the conditions for respect and innovation.* Assertive empathy: be ambitious in your ask and genuinely curious about the other side.* Context is king: sales, hostage talks, and family dinners require different tools.Memorable lines* “Anytime you're trying to reach an outcome, you're in a negotiation.”* “If you over-index on win-win, you become less ambitious and less creative.”* “Friction isn't failure—it's the fuel for better outcomes.”GuestSaad A Saad — Negotiation expert, sales coach, and author of In the Lead: Mastering Your Sales Negotiation.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saadasaad/Why this mattersWhether you're closing a deal, pitching an investor, or discussing chores at home, negotiation is everywhere.

Retired social worker Jack Kammer (MaleFriendly Media) joins me to separate real men's issues from the manosphere circus—and map a sane path forward.Most conversations about men mistake the pyramid for the whole picture. Yes, a few at the top feast—but millions grind at the bottom. In this episode, retired social worker Jack Kammer and I dismantle lazy patriarchy takes, unpack mating market math (power laws, hypergamy, real options vs imagined ones), and contrast male hierarchy with the female network—a “heart-centered” power structure that's present but hard to see. We trace how wealth-induced social isolation (sprawl, cars, planned hangouts) erodes trust, why “work-life balance” collapses under the burden of performance, and how honesty about desire, capacity, and family roles beats quota-based fantasies. The fix isn't rage—it's community at Dunbar scale, merit with compassion, and finishing the other half of the gender-role revolution: giving men social permission for relationship labor, not just income labor. No villains. Just truth, trade-offs, and a way to rebuild.TL;DR* Apex fallacy: don't judge men by the 0.1%—see the “Misfortune Five Million.”* Two power systems: men = visible hierarchy; women = diffuse heart-centered network.* Isolation tax: the McMansion dream kills accidental community—connection needs proximity.* Work is not separate from life: entrepreneurs blur lines; corporate men carry the performance burden.* Real reform: finish the 1960s shift—normalize men taking relationship/care roles without penalty.* Strategy > slogans: meritocracy plus flexibility; transparency about intentions in dating and at work.Memorable lines“Don't look at the Fortune 500—look at the Misfortune Five Million.”“The female power structure isn't a skyscraper; it's a campus with a heart at the center.”“Community isn't a social program; it's your neighbors knocking for Friday pizza.”GuestJack Kammer — Retired social worker focused on the social issues of men and boys; founder of MaleFriendly Media.https://www.linkedin.com/in/malefriendlymedia/https://www.malefriendlymedia.com/Why this mattersIf you want stronger men, healthier women, and better kids, stop arguing abstractions and design for reality: smaller, closer communities; honest courtship; flexible pathways for fathers; merit with compassion at work.Call to ActionIf this hit—don't scroll past it.

Get ready for a ride… TL's Road House is back! This week on the bus, Tracy Lawrence welcomes country superstar Rodney Atkins for a tell-all conversation covering old school vs. new school writing and today's rising stars, filled with the kind of energy only a true hitmaker can bring. Atkins has been a pioneer in the country music industry, with his songs going No. 1 in the back of every ‘90s truck. The two icons discuss the heartwarming change they're seeing in the fans at their shows, Atkins' six Billboard No. 1 singles (describing them as “life songs”) and which writers he took advice from as he was making his way in Nashville. Tune in today for a casual conversation between two old friends!

Garage Beer isn't just having a moment — it's on fire. Backed by Travis and Jason Kelce, the brand was just valued at $200 million after its first institutional funding round. It's on track to do $60–70 million in revenue this year, and is rewriting the playbook of what a modern beer brand can be, with its irreverent, lo-fi brand presence. TL;DR — Garage Beer is a rare bright spot in a beer category that's facing headwinds.In this episode, we sit down with Garage Beer's Chief Creative Officer, Corey Smale, the mastermind behind the brand's nostalgic-yet-fresh, tongue-in-cheek approach. Corey shares how the team is blending old-school beer marketing magic with today's hyper-online, community-first culture — and why they'll still hand-mail you a sticker if you send them a UPC code.We discuss how Garage Beer is:Turning a “beer-flavored beer” into a $200M rocket shipUsing cult-like creative activations — from Goosebumps-inspired Halloween art to the production of retro-style, martial arts spoof films — to appeal to broad audiences, from Gen X to Gen Z Balancing celebrity horsepower from the Kelce brothers with a DIY, hyper-authentic brand voiceWinning in social media, outpacing major domestic beer brands on engagement with a lean, five-person marketing teamBuilding lifetime customers through niche communities like pro wrestling and ball hockey, instead of chasing expensive sponsorshipsFor insights on how challenger brands can outmaneuver industry giants with creativity, speed, and authenticity — while having a heck of a lot of fun — this episode delivers.Last Call:Americans are partying less — a lot less.

Fall is here and we're not tiptoeing into it. Today we talk about going all in without burning out, rebuilding stamina after a slow season, and choosing sustainable momentum over shiny sprints.In this conversation, we welcome back my dear friend Audrey Hall, a creative, builder, and wholehearted go-for-it gal who knows what it takes to strategically ramp back up. Together, we unpack what “locking in” looks like when you're balancing real life: kids, careers, recovery seasons, and the call to create again.We talk about scheduling as stewardship, fluid structure (yes to time blocks, no to rigidity), and the crucial difference between capacity and consistency. You'll hear us reject the tired binary of “hustle harder” vs. “slow way down” and instead build a practice that honors both ambition and sustainability. From self-mastery to seasonality, we explore why momentum sticks when it's grounded in honest constraints, hydration-and-all.We also get practical: experimenting with expectations, noticing when to pause before you tip into burnout, and re-training your stamina at work, in your body, and in your calendar.

Your thoughts can either be your prison or your freedom; it's all a matter of the mindset you choose. Your mindset shapes the reality you live in... but what if most of what you believe about yourself and your life is just a story you've been telling on repeat?When you default to negative thoughts, or when your mindset is harsh, or panicked, everything feels a lot harder. But when the story you tell yourself is steadier and kinder, and you adopt a more positive mindset, that's when you start to take back control: your stress levels drop, your choices improve, and you can finally feel like you're moving forward.In this week's episode of the Let's Talk About Mental Health podcast, I'm sharing how to change the way you experience life by shifting your mindset. You'll learn practical ways to reset unhelpful patterns, choose calmer perspectives, and create a healthier outlook you can actually live with. Because when you change your mindset, you change everything.
