That One Thing...With Me and the past year recap

That One Thing...With Steph Strine

This episode just hits a little different. Like I always say, these conversations keep getting more and more special to me. I met Steph through The Post, an incredible community of former collegiate and professional athletes who continue to push themselves long after their playing days are over. It’s a community filled with inspiring people, and Steph is absolutely one of them. Right after this interview, I had a feeling I’ve had a few times doing this podcast — I just knew this was someone who would become a friend. Steph feels like she’s lived nine lives. She’s a Marine veteran, a sober woman active in AA, a former collegiate athlete, a founder, an influential fitness instructor, and someone building a successful corporate career. But beyond the titles, she’s deeply intentional, thoughtful, and kind. We talk about reinvention and the discipline it takes to keep evolving through different chapters of life — from the Marine Corps to athletics, sobriety, and entrepreneurship. Her reminder is simple but powerful: asking for help doesn’t make you weaker, it makes you stronger. And when we open up about our stories, we give others permission to do the same. I’m grateful to now call Steph a friend. You don’t want to miss this one.

That One Thing...With Me and the past year recap

I love sharing the biggest lessons from each episode — and wow, it was LONG overdue. As I get close to two years of the show and 45 episodes, I’m realizing just how much these conversations have changed me. Some of my biggest takeaways since January: ✨ You can redefine success anytime ✨ Advocate for yourself — stretch moments change lives ✨ Alignment matters more than hustle ✨ Unlearn old stories, unlock abundance ✨ Growth lives outside comfort ✨ Community changes everything The theme I keep coming back to? We become who we’re surrounded by. I’m endlessly grateful for every guest who’s inspired me, challenged me, and helped me evolve — and for every one of you who listens, supports, and shares this journey with me. This past year changed me in the best way. I’m just getting started. Here’s to an even bigger 2026 🥂✨ Be thoughtful about who — and what — shapes you.

That One Thing...with Ben Sharf

This is an episode you do not want to miss. Ben and I met through the boxing gym years ago, and now we’re both part of the Haymakers alumni crew — and trust me, he is a winner in every sense of the word. What I’ve admired most is getting to watch Ben live with such intentionality: in his mind, his body, and his career. He’s a founder, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, and truly one of the kindest, most thoughtful humans I know. This is someone you’re going to want to learn from. Full episode is out now — you do not want to miss it.

That One Thing...With Chris Caldwell

This episode just hits a little different. Like I always say, these conversations keep getting more and more special to me. Our next guest, Chris Caldwell, is a business owner, a dad, a coach, a sales trainer, a leader, a proud husband—and a man who continues to evolve in the coolest way, period. Chris has personally impacted me through the Alluviants community I’m part of, and this conversation is packed with so many nuggets of wisdom. One of the most powerful themes? Taking responsibility for how you interact with other human beings. Full stop. You do not want to miss this one. Chris is a special dude, and this episode is something I know will stay with you long after you listen.

That One Thing...with Ed Lees (My Uncle)

While this podcast always means the world to me, getting to sit down with family hits in a whole different way. This next episode is with my uncle — someone I’ve known my entire life, but got to truly know in a new way through this conversation. He’s a dad of four, has had a successful career, is married to my aunt (and godmother), recently sober, and at 62 is still dreaming, still growing, still becoming. His story is a powerful reminder that it is never too late to change your life — if, in his words, you’re willing to “get over yourself.” This one is incredibly special. Lots of tears. Come ready.
