    Dany Garcia: The Bigger the Loss, The Bigger the Life

    Dany Garcia has built one of the most powerful portfolios in entertainment, but her path there was anything but smooth. Before she became the chairwoman, entrepreneur, and strategic force behind some of Hollywood’s biggest names, she was a 13-year-old girl who decided she was going to build wealth and create a life for herself. From selling men’s suits as a teenager to leaving Merrill Lynch to start her own firm, to architecting the career of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (even after their divorce), Dany has spent her life questioning the rules about power, ambition, and success. But behind the empire is a story of setbacks, rejection, and reinvention. Dany believes that there is no big life without losses, and that the willingness to keep showing up after failure is the real difference between people who dream big and people who build big. In this episode of Question Everything, Dany opens up to Danielle about the lessons that shaped her: childhood expectations, career risks, painful losses, and the mindset that helped her rebuild again and again. Dany shares: The rule she broke that changed her life: “The red carpet is only for celebrities.” How she decided at 13 years old that she was going to create wealth. Selling men’s suits at 16 and the early lessons that shaped her business mindset. Meeting Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in college — and later becoming the architect of his career. Why she continued working with Dwayne professionally even after their divorce. What she learned from walking into Hollywood boardrooms where people didn’t take her seriously. The painful realization that the system she helped build might never give her the recognition she expected. The moment she decided to stop waiting for her “turn” and create her own platform. Why she believes winning and losing are inseparable when you’re building a big life. Becoming a competitive bodybuilder in her 40s and what athletics taught her about resilience. The philosophy behind her brand Dany Garcia’s Donny Moss and advancing the human experience. What she does better than almost anyone else in business. How success has evolved from money and ambition to culture, sustainability, and impact.

    EXCLUSIVE: Inside Gloria Steinem’s Living Room

    Gloria Steinem doesn’t do many video interviews anymore. So when she invited Danielle into her living room — the same room where decades of talking circles shaped the women’s movement and where Ms. Magazine was born…the conversation felt different from the start. Danielle isn’t just interviewing her, she’s Gloria’s fellow. She’s spent hours in this room with her, asking questions. What you hear in this episode isn’t a press stop, it’s personal, direct, and occasionally surprising. At 92, Gloria is unsentimental about legacy, clear-eyed about power, and still asking better questions than most of us. She talks about freedom, fear, feminism, love, regret, and why hope isn’t naïve — it’s strategy.  In honor of Women’s History Month — and in a moment that makes this conversation feel urgent — this is Gloria Steinem, unfiltered and fully herself…as she always is 😊.  In this episode, you’ll hear: Why her living room — not a stage — became one of the most influential political spaces in America The childhood detail that explains everything: trailer parks, diners, and learning democracy early The book and movie that changed her life + why Breakfast at Tiffany’s made her cry “I was rescued by feminism.” What she means — and what women risked in the 1950s The 1957 abortion that shaped her future + the dedication that still moves women today Why she refuses the title “mother of the movement” and insists feminism is a circle, not a pyramid The real story behind her iconic sunglasses  The first purchase she made with her first credit card What she learned from Flo Kennedy, Dorothy Pitman Hughes, and Wilma Mankiller Her blunt take on internet “followers” + why influence without values makes her nervous Why questions are a form of protest The hardest decade of her life + why it wasn’t what you think At 92, what she’s afraid of, what she’s grateful for, and what keeps her enrolled in hope Her unexpected plan for her funeral + why she wants it to double as a feminist benefitThe line you’ll repeat all week: “Hope is a form of planning.” And her advice to a 35-year-old woman today See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
