  Why High-Achieving Women Need to Get Comfortable Being Beginners | Anya Alvarez & Ellen Ceresko, DriveHer Network

  Sep 8, 202627 min

  Send us Fan Mail When you're used to being good at what you do, being a beginner can feel incredibly uncomfortable. Golf has a way of forcing you to get comfortable with exactly that. Jordan and Alex sit down with Anya Alvarez and Ellen Ceresko of DriveHer Network for a conversation that starts with golf but quickly becomes something much bigger: perfectionism, identity, resilience, business, community and learning to give yourself permission to not have everything figured out. Anya and Ellen share their experiences competing at an elite level, where every shot could mean making money, paying for the next tournament, getting recruited or letting down a team. Today, both have developed a very different relationship with the game. Because golf is something you can never perfect. You can practice every day and still make a bad swing. You can make the wrong decision. You can have a bad round. What matters is how quickly you adjust and what you do next. They also break down what new golfers actually need to know, how quickly women can become comfortable on the course, why beginners should get out and play sooner than they think, and why community can make entering a traditionally male-dominated sport feel a whole lot less intimidating. Plus, we get into building DriveHer Network, choosing the right business partners, operating from shared core values, and their mission to help more women say yes, show up and bring another woman with them. This one is about golf. But it's also about being willing to be a beginner again.

  Plug Talk | Welcome to Admin Social Club

  Sep 4, 20269 min

  Send us Fan Mail A to do list can feel like a private battle, especially when you’re juggling business, family, and the invisible work of life maintenance. We wanted to change that, so we tried something new: Admin Social Club, a low pressure meetup where we sit together in a beautiful local space, order great coffee, and finally handle the tasks we keep avoiding. No hustle vibe, no forced networking, just real people showing up and getting things done. We talk about why this works so well for us as neurodivergent founders with professionally diagnosed ADHD, and how body doubling makes the “mundane but necessary” feel achievable. You’ll hear a real example of what this looks like, from scheduling a long delayed mammogram to knocking out small admin that has been endlessly movable on the list. The surprising part is what happens around the work: natural conversations, quick moments of support, and the kind of connection that builds community without trying to manufacture it. We also share what we learned from hosting in partnership with a local business, why we care so much about creating more third places, and where we think Admin Social Club could go next, from monthly meetups to bigger life maintenance resets that support mind, body, and business. If you’ve been craving accountability plus community, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend who’s overwhelmed, and leave us a review so more people can find the space we’re building.

  You Can't Build a Consumer Brand Behind a Laptop | Goodwipes Co-Founder Sam Nebel

  Sep 1, 202627 min

  Send us Fan Mail What does it actually take to build a consumer brand people don't just buy, but want to be part of? This week, Jordan and Alex sit down at Goodwipes HQ with co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer Sam Nebel to talk about the unlikely journey from becoming the “baby wipe dealers” of their college campus to building a national consumer brand. Sam gets into the 8-to-10-year validation cycle behind Goodwipes, why founders can't build consumer brands from behind a laptop, and how staying close to your customer can create the kind of loyalty normally reserved for sports teams. They also unpack the strategy behind Goodwipes' collaborations with brands like OLIPOP and Liquid Death, why the best partnerships go far beyond putting two logos together, and the founder lessons Sam wishes more entrepreneurs understood about operations, finance, content and playing the long game. Plus, Sam opens up about navigating a long-term co-founder relationship, protecting his time and energy differently as the company grows, and rediscovering who he is outside of the business. It's business, branding, butts and a surprisingly good amount of life advice.

  How Grant Williams Turns An NBA Platform Into Community Impact

  Aug 25, 20265 min

  Send us Fan Mail What does it look like to win at life when the world is grading you on a scoreboard? Live from Hamptons Tech Week at the Montauk Yacht Club, we sit down with NBA forward Grant Williams for a straight talk conversation about influence, community, and the kind of legacy that outlasts any season. Grant shares how he thinks about impact beyond basketball, including the work he leads through the Grant Williams Family Foundation. We dig into mentorship and literacy programs in North Carolina, why partnerships like the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library matter, and how computer literacy initiatives can help close the access gap for communities that have been left behind. If you care about athlete philanthropy, nonprofit collaboration, or simply doing more with the platform you have, this conversation gives you a clear, grounded blueprint. Then it gets fun and surprisingly insightful: Grant opens up about getting into Pilates and realizing it can humble even a pro who is used to moving heavy weight. We talk about embracing weakness, finding challenges that make you more well rounded, and why strength training paired with mobility work can be a game changer for performance and health. Grant also leaves advice for young athletes who feel defined by one role, reminding them their value is bigger than the sport they play. If this resonated, subscribe for more interviews on leadership and impact, share this episode with a friend who’s building their own legacy, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

  From Viral Creator To Founder| Austin Sprinz Talks Building Memento and Pulse Drones

  Aug 18, 20268 min

  Send us Fan Mail A billion views a month sounds like magic until you hear the routine behind it. We’re live at Hampton Tech Week with Austin Sprinz, a creator who’s spent 10 years building an audience that now totals around 50 million followers across platforms, and he’s refreshingly honest about what it took to get there: years of posting with little payoff, tiny improvements every day, and a mindset that refuses to quit when the numbers don’t move. We also go deeper than content. Austin walks us through the leap from influencer to founder with two passion projects he’s going all-in on. One is Memento, a screenless digital camera that feels like a disposable, keeps you present while you shoot, and delivers retro, vintage-style photos when you upload later. The other is Pulse Drones, a drone show company that can “draw” art in the sky for festivals and events, turning creativity into a shareable real-world moment people can’t look away from. Then we get practical: how he finds fresh ideas (quiet mornings, meditation, breathwork, and avoiding early phone stimulation), what “consistency is king” actually looks like over multiple years, and how a big enough why becomes the North Star that keeps you moving. We close with hot takes, including the belief that there is no failure, only feedback. If you like creator strategy, TikTok growth, social media marketing, and building businesses from a personal brand, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a creator friend, and leave a review, then tell us: what’s the one habit you’d start tomorrow?
