  • Jenn Drummond, Mom of 7 and World Record Mountaineer
    Sep 9 2024

    Jenn is the first woman to climb the “seven second summits,” or the second-highest mountain peaks on all seven continents – which are arguably even tougher to climb than the tallest ones, for reasons which will surprise you.

    She is also a successful businesswoman, a mother of seven children, and the author of “BreakProof: 7 Strategies to Build Resilience and Achieve Your Life Goals.” During our interview, she’ll share lessons to help you conquer the mountains (metaphorical or otherwise) you face in your own life.

    Want to connect with Jenn? Text the word “Everest” to the number 33777. She’ll send you a video of the Milky Way Galaxy going over Everest Base Camp.

  • Justin Miller of Untold: How a College Trip Became a Life-Saving Mission
    Aug 9 2024

    Alongside two African pastors, Justin founded Untold - a nonprofit that helps support the physical, spiritual, and mental health of those affected by AIDS and HIV in Eastern and Southern Africa.

    During the past 17 years, their organization has helped more than 40,000 people let go of their stigma and embrace a more positive future.

    Justin’s story is especially impressive because his commitment began in college, and has remained steady ever since.

    In this episode, Miller describes how his organization assists more than 100 communities throughout Kenya, Tanzania and Africa. Hear his incredible story.

  • Nellie Bowles: The Courage to Engage Controversial Topics with an Open Mind
    Jul 5 2024

    In her new book "Morning After the Revolution: Dispatches from the Wrong Side of History," Bowles documents how she risked her career – and her friendships – by continuing to ask questions after being told not to.

    As a reporter for the New York Times, Nellie tackled some of the most controversial topics of our times, from the George Floyd protests to Defund the Police to DEI. Her writing was fundamentally sympathetic to the causes, but also clear-eyed about where they may have gone astray.

    Nellie's approach of reporting, rather than advocacy, is increasingly rare in today’s media. And the courage she showed by engaging these topics with an open mind is a crazy good turn.

    Follow Nellie on Twitter @NellieBowles, or find more information about her at nelliebowles.com.
