  Today, I Decide

  Aug 13, 202632 minS1

  In this episode, I sit down with Richard Kaufman, known as the Comeback Coach, to talk about resilience, identity, purpose, and what it means to rebuild after profound loss. After a military career of more than two decades, Richard was medically discharged after losing 80% of his vision. In a matter of days, he went from being Sergeant Kaufman to wondering who he was without the identity he'd spent most of his life building. His answer wasn't to pretend everything was okay. It was to accept where he was, allow himself to grieve, and eventually make a decision about what would come next. Today, Richard's philosophy is simple: It's okay not to be okay. And today, I decide.

  You've Always Been Okay

  Aug 6, 202635 minS1

  In this episode, I sit down with Riley James, sports journalist, storyteller, entrepreneur, and host of If Anyone Cares , to talk about the lessons that come from growing up, making mistakes, finding your value, and figuring out what success actually means. Riley reflects on his career, the opportunities he had at a very young age, and the arrogance and mistakes that came with being given more responsibility than he was prepared for. But the deeper lesson isn't about journalism. It's about learning to give yourself grace for the person you were before you knew what you know now.

  Behind Every Setback Is a Comeback

  Jul 16, 202631 minS1

  In this episode, I sit down with Carol Covino, health and wellness coach, author, and advocate for healthy aging, to talk about what happens when life forces you to slow down. After multiple surgeries and months of recovery, Carol found herself facing something she had spent her entire life helping others overcome: the feeling that everything had been put on hold. But instead of asking, "Why is this happening to me?" she asked a different question: "What can I still do from here?" That shift changed everything. What began as a conversation about fitness, menopause, and healthy aging became a much deeper discussion about resilience, identity, and learning to redefine success in every season of life.

  You Don't Have to Have It All Figured Out

  Jun 24, 202630 minS1

  In this episode, I sit down with Mfon Akpan, accounting professor, mentor, and lifelong learner, to talk about career paths, confidence, and the surprising power of trying things before you're sure they're right for you. What stood out to me most about this conversation is how often our assumptions turn out to be wrong. We think we know what we'll enjoy. We think we know what we're good at. We think we know what opportunities matter. And sometimes we're right. But often, the experiences that shape our lives begin with a simple willingness to say yes before we have everything figured out.

  The Pain of Discipline or the Pain of Regret

  Jun 17, 202637 minS1

  In this episode, I sit down with Brian Colao, attorney, advisor, and one of the leading experts on healthcare and dental service organization compliance in the country. While much of our conversation focuses on healthcare regulations, corporate practice laws, and business structure, the deeper lesson is much broader than compliance. It's about discipline. Brian has spent decades helping organizations navigate complex legal and operational challenges. And over and over again, he's seen the same pattern: The problems that seem expensive to prevent often become far more expensive to fix. Whether you're building a healthcare company, leading a business, or making decisions in your personal life, this conversation is a reminder that shortcuts often create the very pain we're trying to avoid.
