0004 - Andrew Robinson: Who Cares That Curiosity Killed The Cat... At Least It Lived!

Andrew Robinson is a communication coach, endurance athlete, and the founder of The Grit Academy. Over the last 15 years, he's taught door-to-door sales, coached business owners, and worked with teenagers on the skills most adults never learn. He's placed top five in the world in 24-hour obstacle course racing, run all of New Zealand's Great Walks in 10 days, and recently cycled all of the Great Rides in a month. Through Tough Yarns, he's on a mission to encourage people to do difficult things and have meaningful conversations. Andrew was the first person to really coach me. He drilled door-to-door sales methodology into me until I stopped intellectualizing and started doing. In this conversation, he shows up as himself. Honest, exhausted, in all senses of the word — and somehow full of gratitude. We get into: why everyone thinks other people need communication skills but never themselves, the gap between telling people to ask for help and knowing how to hold space when they do, why an honest compliment is free energy, what it means to practice everything you've preached when it's your turn to need it, playing hide and seek with Jesus, and many more tangents.

0003 - Erin Stafford: Living A Life That Not Only Looks Good, But Feels Good Too

In this conversation, I have the pleasure of speaking with Erin Stafford. Erin is a full-time speaker, author of The Type A Trap and is an absolute sweetheart of a human being. She was a human-doing for a long time (and still often is). Currently, Erin helps people and organizations figure out how to perform at the highest level without destroying their health and relationships in the process. Erin has lived many lives to earn her perspective. She's been an advertising exec at MTV, a celebrity stylist in Hollywood, a jewelry designer, a fashion journalist, a news reporter, and the chief marketing officer of an $11 billion healthcare company that grew 27x through the pandemic. It was that last chapter — leading a team that scaled from 4 people to 75 while staffing 50,000 nurses across the country — that finally broke the pattern and forced her to confront her own achievement addiction. Now she gets on stages around the world to talk about what she's learned and how to live a life that not only looks good, but feels good too.
