Allen Brouwer: What It Takes to Stop Drifting Through Your Life

2026-11-1240:24

Allen Brouwer co-founded Best Self Co, the company behind the Self Journal, after his mother died at 48 and jolted him out of a directionless early twenties and into four months living in the hills of Peru. He talks about what his father's alcoholism taught him about work ethic by negative example, why getting fired at 24 turned out to be the best thing that happened to him, and the goal-setting framework he and his business partner built for themselves in a blank Moleskine before it became a product. He also explains why he pushes people toward three-month goals instead of year-long ones, and what he learned about growth and partnerships from Daymond John. Hosted on Acast.

Ali Shanti: Why $40 Million Would Never Have Made Her Free

2026-11-1156:01

Ali Shanti (formerly Alexis Neely) built two million-dollar businesses, hit the bestseller lists, and decided she would only be free once she had $40 million in the bank. Instead she fired her team, filed bankruptcy, moved to a farm, and deliberately walked into her biggest fear of running out of money. She talks about what she found on the other side: a redefinition of liberation as earning what you need when you need it, her framework for figuring out how much money you actually need, and why she now thinks in terms of roles in an ecosystem rather than building an empire.

Alex Johnston: What No One Tells Women About Fertility Until It's Too Late

2026-11-1059:46

Alex Johnston spent six years trying to build a family: three and a half years of fertility treatment, two surrogacies, and a daughter who was stillborn, before ending up with three children in fifteen months. She walks through what the process actually involves - the cost, the limits of the technology, the strain on a marriage, and what the relationship with a surrogate is really like - and why most of what people believe about getting pregnant in their late thirties comes from magazine covers rather than facts. She also argues for routine fertility testing from the late twenties on, and for insurance and government policy that treats family building as health care. Hosted on Acast.

Alex Jamieson: What Super Size Me Taught Her About Changing Your Life

2026-11-0901:03:13

Alex Jamieson co-created Super Size Me and healed her own body with food after collapsing at 25. She talks about why diet changes only stick when you change the job and the relationships around them, how the Super Size Me idea came out of ordinary conversations on a couch, and the vicious backlash she got for publicly announcing she was no longer vegan. Useful if you are weighing a creative risk or trying to figure out what your cravings are actually telling you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Alex Jamieson & Bob Gower: The Conversation That Gets You to Hell Yes

2026-11-0801:04:00

Alex Jamieson and Bob Gower walk through the four-part conversation framework they built - intentions, concerns, boundaries, and dreams - and explain how to use it before a vacation, a business project, or a hard talk with a partner. They also cover what they learned about money and uncertainty from their own careers, why clear boundaries made their relationship work, and where the framework breaks down. Useful if you avoid important conversations because you do not know how to start them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
