Send us a text Getting pregnant isn’t always simple. And for 1 in 6 women, infertility is part of the story — and it’s messy, isolating, expensive, and absolutely life-changing. In this first episode of our April Infertility Series, I sat down with three BADASS women — Gwenna, Cassi, and Megan — who know this journey all too well.

Send us a text Get ready for this inspo packed conversation with Amy Nelson! She's a powerhouse of resilience, courage, and entrepreneurial spirit, IMO. Amy briefly recounts her family's harrowing experience with Amazon & the DOJ, but we spent more of our time talking about Amy as a person, and less time on Amazon.

Send us a text It’s 🦴🔥KRAYZIE BONE🔥🦴 ya’ll! I remember vividly when I heard Bone Thugs n Harmony for the first time. It was unlike anything I’d ever heard, and their rapid fire raps melded with the harmonies had me at Mr Ouija. The come-up story of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is the ultimate hip hop “rags to riches” tale, and their struggles, triumphs, and relentless drive to make sugar out of shit never gets old to me. Beneath the beats and rhymes is a simple truth about life: no matter wh...
Send us a text I found Mark Ritz through my friend, Wayne Lewis. He sent me a tweet that Mark posted at the beginning of the traumatic government shutdown that Carnivore Snax went through earlier this year. Thanks to the leadership of Mark and his team, as well as the loyalty of the Carnivore Snax community, they were able to navigate those rough waters only to come back stronger than ever. I was drawn to Mark the minute I called to ask if he'd be on the show. He was like an old friend. No p...

Send us a text It’s not often that I cross paths with someone whose journey to parenthood has been met with similar heartbreak. When I read Johnny Sirpilla’s book, “Life is Hard, but I’ll be OK” I was blown away by the things that he and his BADASS wife, Susan, went through. Man, what a reminder of just how much pain we endure as humans, and yet some people still choose to find the joy wedged somewhere beneath the suffering. Johnny and his wife Susan lost their triplets, Nicholas, Mary...
