Episodes

Join me as I sit down with entrepreneurs, artists, advocates, doctors, parents, pro athletes, media personalities…the list goes on… as we discuss their path to living, learning and betting on themselves. We’ll talk candidly about leveraging past experiences, determining which chances were worth taking, the highs and lows, and finding your inner compass.

The art of betting on oneself is not for the faint of heart; frankly, it’s as personal as it gets. Listen, absorb, and enjoy — then ask, “Are you ready to bet on yourself?”
