You Are The Prize

A Working Theory of Self-Love with Alexis + Alex

Self-love is a beautiful idea and a complicated practice. The secret might be making it smaller. In this solo episode of You Are The Prize, we explore the possibility that the path toward loving yourself might actually begin with something smaller: liking yourself. It’s a conversation about integrity, relationships, friendship, self-worth, and the quiet accumulation of moments that make you trust yourself more. Less “how to love yourself.” More: what if love is built through evidence? We don’t have all the answers, but we’re working on it.  You Are The Prize™ A Studio STAB Production   Hosted by: Alexis Kay and Alex Newson Executive Producers: Alexis Kay and Alex Newson Audio & Video Production by: Jonathan Champion for The Champ Effect Original Music by: Scott Martin © 2026 Studio STAB.

Life Lessons from the Tennis Court with Ray Chang

What if changing the way you play the game changed everything?  This week on You Are The Prize, we’re joined by Alexis’s tennis coach, Ray Chang, whose approach to the game reveals something deeper: how you move on the court mirrors how you move through life. From timing and balance to building a solid foundation, Ray unpacks the lessons hidden in the sport. It’s about knowing when to wait, when to act, and how to stay grounded enough to recognize the right shot when it comes. Because when it’s aligned, it’s easy.

How To Do Therapy Better with Dr. Mark Tanabe

A conversation about what makes therapy work and how to show up fully for it.  In this episode of You Are The Prize, we sit down with Dr. Mark Tanabe—Alex’s therapist—to get into the nonlinear path of growth and how to get more out of therapy by showing up honestly. We explore what shifts when you stop holding back, the many ways we can understand and meet our needs, and the importance of paying attention to the moments that move us. We also answer the inevitable question: does everyone actually need therapy?  You Are The Prize™ A Studio STAB Production   Hosted by: Alexis Kay and Alex Newson Guest: Dr. Mark Tanabe Executive Producers: Alexis Kay and Alex Newson Audio & Video Production by: Jonathan Champion for The Champ Effect Original Music by: Scott Martin © 2026 Studio STAB.

Finding Yourself On The Dance Floor with Luke Nero

What if you found out the opposite of scrolling isn’t productivity, but presence? This week on You Are The Prize, we’re joined by nightlife impresario Luke Nero, the creative force behind some of the most iconic queer spaces and dance floors in New York and Los Angeles. From running Mr. Black to building STRUT and beyond, Luke knows what it takes to get a room to come alive. We talk about the power of shared movement, the science behind why dancing lifts us out of our heads, and what we lose when we stop gathering in real life. From the evolution of queer nightlife to the simple act of choosing adventure, this conversation is about why we MUST get back into the world together.
