Why I Created An "Audacious List" and How It Could Be The Thing That Changes Everything

I've never gone this in depth before, I've never made sure I had this detailed of a plan, and I feel like there is only one way I could fail. In this episode, I'm walking you through the simple process I used to create what I'm calling my "Audacious List", a list of bold moves broken down into a 90-day plan designed to help me build real momentum in the areas I've wanted to grow and change in for a while. I'm sharing how Lori Harder's audacity framework sparked this, how I used ChatGPT to get painfully honest about my self-sabotage patterns, and how I turned the whole thing into an actual execution plan inside Asana. If you're ready to stop letting fear dictate your decisions and start taking the kinds of actions that make your next level inevitable, this episode will give you a clear, doable way to start. HIGHLIGHTS * How to get yourself to make bigger, bolder, more audacious moves FASTER. * How to quickly identify the next best step toward your biggest goal (especially when you feel stuck). * One simple process to turn big dreams into a clear, 90-day action plan you can actually follow. * How to build real consistency, without relying on motivation or "being in the mood."

NYC Life Update, Hiring & What I'm Doing To Eliminate Chaos

Ever feel like you're building the plane while you're flying it? Same. In today's episode, I'm sharing what I'm learning in real time about following the plan and why planning ahead is the only way I've found to feel grounded, productive, and way less reactive. I'm giving you a little NYC life update (SoHo errands still blow my mind), a behind-the-scenes peek into interviewing candidates for a leadership role in my business, and the weekly rhythm Danny and I have been doing so we can execute with clarity and actually enjoy our downtime. If you're a visionary who resists structure but knows you need it to hit your next level, this one's for you. HIGHLIGHTS * Why "follow the plan" is my theme for 2026 and how it reduces stress fast. * The planning layers that make execution easier: annual planning, quarterly check-ins, Sunday weekly planning, and nightly prep. * How to stop being reactive when life and business get loud (literally, NYC streets included.) * What I learned after interviewing six candidates in one week and why reps build confidence. * How to protect your creative energy while still building routines that keep you consistent. * The mindset shift that turns planning into freedom, not restriction.

My First 24 Hours Living in NYC (Raw UNEDITED Voice Note)

We finally did it! On Tuesday, my daughter Naveya and I moved to NYC, and my boys will officially arrive with the rest of our stuff today. This has been a dream a decade in the making and last night after soaking in the first 24 hours of this being home base I had to record some thoughts into my phone before I went to bed. I intentionally left this episode unedited. I wanted this to feel like a voice note from a friend. You'll hear the ac in my room kick on, some city sounds in the background and pauses as I was thinking. I hope this episode makes you want to write down a list of things you love about your life, or maybe even do something crazy like we are, putting all your special things in storage and traveling. Trying on a favorite new place to call home. This is just the beginning of something BIG. HIGHLIGHTS * What it feels like finally living out my dream of moving to NYC. * The moments I've been grateful for most in this first 24 hours. * Lessons from small inconveniences + problem solving. * The gratitude practice I did for perspective + presence. * How I feel about MYSELF following through with a long held dream.

One of my new team members recently quit. Instead of seeing it as a setback, I'm sharing why I chose to thank the problem and what I'm learning from it.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by obstacles or wondering how to level up your business and leadership skills, this episode is going to give you a fresh perspective on turning problems into your greatest teachers. HIGHLIGHTS * Goals attract the exact challenges you need to achieve them. * The biggest lessons I learned from a team member quitting. * How you become the entrepreneur you dream of becoming.
