Send us a text Let’s just call it like it is—Troy Allen has a reputation. Some people call him a visionary. Others? An a**hole. On this week’s episode, I sit down with the man behind Pins, 16-Bit, and some of the biggest nightlife and entertainment concepts in Columbus and beyond. Troy’s been building incredible brands people actually feel for decades—and he’s not afraid to ruffle feathers along the way. We talk about the highs, the hits, and the hard truths that come with being known as a co...

It’s a masterclass in vision, grit, and relentless execution. We’re talking about: ⚡ The decisions over feelings mindset that has fueled Cory since day one. ⚡ How he turned a wild dayd...
Send us a text This week, Amy Nelson is back in the studio with me—and we’re talking about something I honestly wish we didn’t have to: the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Not from a political lens, but from a human one. From the lens of being parents trying to raise kids in a world where violence is live-streamed, group chats move faster than the news cycle, and childhood innocence feels harder and harder to protect. We talk about: ✨ What it means to have real conversations with our kid...
Send us a text Some dreams take everything you’ve got. And then they ask for more. Today, I sat down with Krista Guagenti, founder of Panacea Luxury Spa Boutique, whose story proves what it really means to keep moving—even when the setbacks pile up and the odds feel impossible. Krista didn’t grow up with a roadmap to entrepreneurship. She was the first in her family to graduate college, worked 90-hour weeks in corporate America, got turned down by banks (and then turned down again), and faced...
Send us a text Before you can build a business, you’ve got to build belief. This week I’m pulling back the curtain on a very special B Lab client of mine—Megan Goodman. Megan came in with a head full of ideas, a ton of passion, and (like so many of us) a little voice in her head that kept saying who am I to do this? In this episode, we talk about what it really looks like to start from scratch—without a clear roadmap. From vision boards to brand kits, from big dreams to tiny first steps, Me...
Send us a text Amy Nelson is back! Every time we sit down, I walk away fired up and inspired to do more, be more, and lead with more clarity. This time we dove into women in leadership and how damn hard it can be to walk the line between being “too soft” or “too much.” We get into: ⚡ Leading with authenticity ⚡ Why being “bossy” is actually a compliment ⚡ Why asking for forgiveness beats waiting for permission We also cracked open something really close to my heart right now: The B Lab. It’...
Send us a text What do you do when someone tells you you’ve only got seven months to live? If you’re Jason Tharp, you decide to do the exact opposite of giving up. You strip away the masks, you stop apologizing for who you are, and you start spreading joy in the most unexpected ways. Jason is an author, artist, and cancer survivor who’s beating the odds every single day. In our chat, he shares how a Stage 4 brain cancer diagnosis became the thing that set him free — from self-loathing, from...
Send us a text You can’t plan for the moments that change you, but you can decide what to do with them. That’s what I loved about my conversation with Sarah Gormley. Sarah is a Columbus local and the owner of Sarah Gormley Gallery in the Short North—and she’s lived one hell of a story. We got into everything: standing on the porch screaming “F***” with her daughter in response to her mom's cancer diagnosis, dating as an adult while living in her childhood bedroom, getting fired by Martha Ste...
Send us a text Michael Flinner spent 17 years building a successful logistics company—only to walk away and start from scratch with something completely different: The Fluff, a premium pickup-and-delivery laundry service in Central Ohio.

We talk pricing psychology, narrowing your audience, and how ...

We dive into the chaos of summer mom life, building a business with limited time, how to actually create content that works and doesn’t suck up your soul, and why you don’t need to be an AI expert—you just need to know how to ask a good question. We also end up breaking down Jeff Bezos’ $50 million wedding, the billionaire class, and what it says about the state of the...
1Send us a text Let’s talk about ketamine—and not the kind of convo you’d have at a college party. In this week’s episode, I sit down with Dr. David Caldwell and Dr. Melissa Briggs-Phillips of Mindset Integrative Ketamine Care for one of the most powerful, personal, and mind-expanding conversations we’ve ever had on this show. Together, they’re pioneering a new approach to healing trauma through ketamine infusion therapy (aka KIT)—backed by decades of medical expertise and lived experience. We...
