Earn Your Happy

Growth doesn’t come from getting it right every time. It comes from staying in the game when things go wrong. In this Best of 2025 He Said She Said episode, Chris and I are bringing together three conversations that shaped us the most this year. We’re talking about the moments that tested us, the risks that stretched us, and the rooms that changed how we think, lead, and live. We share stories behind our most cringe-worthy business moments, why your comeback rate matters more than perfection, what Ferrari, Pagani, and Europe taught us about risk and legacy, and how building the right mastermind can collapse timelines faster than anything else we’ve ever done. Tune in for the mindset shifts you need to recover faster and choose better rooms.

Some seasons don’t feel like growth, they feel like everything is falling apart. If 2025 didn’t go according to plan, you’re not broken and you’re not behind. In this episode, we dive into why so many high performers are coming out of this year feeling disoriented, frustrated, or in full-on meltdown mode. We talk about how entire industries, income streams, and identities are melting down right now, why resisting that reality only creates more pain, and how choosing to step into the fire on your own terms gives you first-mover advantage instead of forcing you to rebuild from survival mode later. Get ready to see your meltdown in a completely different way. Check out our Sponsors: Shopify - Start your $1/month trial at Shopify.com/happy SKIMS - The SKIMS Holiday Shop is now open at SKIMS.com.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it actually takes to stand out right now. The algorithms have changed. Attention is harder to earn, and “good content” isn’t enough anymore. In this episode, I sit down with Andi Eaton to talk about why having a clear point of view is no longer optional if you want your brand to grow in 2026 and beyond. We talk about what makes people stop scrolling, why being “vanilla” is the fastest way to disappear online, and how founders can stop diluting their message when they have multiple passions, products, or businesses.

I went on one of those rare, unstructured walks where I listened to the Diary of a CEO podcast on the science of conversation, and it completely changed how I think about connection. In this episode, I share my biggest takeaways from Harvard behavior expert Alison Wood Brooks on why the way you communicate isn’t a personality trait, it’s a skill. I break down the TALK framework and how a few shifts in the way you ask questions, listen, and respond can change who trusts you, who wants to work with you, and who wants to stay connected to you.

I pulled together three of my most powerful Quickie episodes because they all speak to one thing I know you’re facing right now. You’re being asked to move before you feel ready, to keep going when the people closest to you don’t get it, and to stand back up when failure makes you question everything. In this Best Of Quickies, I’m reminding you that pain is not a stop sign, judgment is not truth, and failure is not the end. These moments are the initiation. This is where confidence is built, faith is forged, and momentum is created. Get ready to hear exactly what you need to move faster, trust yourself deeper, and stay in the game.
