    Emma Gilbert: The Artist Who Heard "You're Not Done Yet" at 9 Years Old

    Emma Gilbert was nine years old when she found herself under her bed, in the depths of a depression no kid should have to carry. That is when she heard a voice, loud and clear: "You're not done yet. You have so much more to do." It snapped her out of the spiral, and she carried it with her. Even at nine, ten, eleven, she kept telling herself she had to keep creating. She grew up in Alabaster, Alabama, about the smallest town you could get, with no art scene and no one around to show her that a life in art was even possible. Teachers told her to have a realistic career. Her own feelings rarely landed at home, where attention came when she created and words or tears got waved off with "you're fine." Art became the one place she was actually heard. This conversation explores the relationship between childhood pain and creativity, what it does to a kid to grow up unheard, and how a family can change when someone finally speaks up. Emma talks about the depression that still shows up today and still fuels her work, the parents who later apologized and learned to listen, and the long road from selling her first painting at twelve to building a real business around her art. Now she travels the country painting large-scale murals, works with a team of ten contractors, and is building toward the day she gets to be just the talent. This one is about turning what nearly broke you into the thing that defines you, and why the voice that saves you can become the work of your life.

  2. From Presidential Politics to Federal Prison: Matt Borges's Story

    From Presidential Politics to Federal Prison: Matt Borges's Story

    Former Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges lived a life most could only dream of. Traveling with presidential candidates, hosting the first Republican debate of 2016, standing next to history on Air Force One. Then one July morning in 2020, the FBI was at his door with handcuffs. What followed was a federal trial that would test everything Matt thought he knew about himself. Offered a plea deal that would have kept him out of prison, he turned it down rather than confess in open court to something he says wasn’t true. He went to trial, he lost, and, despite appeals that took him all the way to the United States Supreme Court, he ended up serving twenty-seven months in federal prison. In this raw, unfiltered conversation - his first since coming home - Matt opens up about the daily emails he wrote to his wife Kate, that became a lifeline for both of them, and what he learned about what actually matters when the comforts of life are taken away. This isn't a story about politics. It's about a human being tested in the crucible, and facing the question “who are you?” then being brave enough to find that answer – and trust it. Matt's story is one of the most powerful examples of reckoning, resilience, and human connection we've ever shared on Innerspace. A reminder that sometimes losing “everything” is the surest way to find what's real. Learn more: joininnerspace.com

    Chet Scott: Live Hard, Love Harder

    Chet Scott is the founder of Built to Lead, a coaching practice he started in 2002 to help high performers discover who they are at their core. A former tech executive, Chet's path changed in 1993 after a leadership course forced him to confront how he was actually perceived, and he has spent the years since studying human nature and high performance with business teams and sports teams alike. His work has grown to include a book, an app, and a team of coaches he calls builders. In this conversation, Chet shares his philosophy of "oneness within, then oneness with others," and why most people stay stuck blaming external circumstances instead of doing the harder inner work. He and Brett get into his mantra "live hard, love harder," why the work is "for the few," what happens when clients plateau and stop growing, and why learning to run toward hard conversations instead of away from them is what separates chronic pain from acute healing. Chet also talks about the power of curiosity, the seven good minutes exercise that has transformed relationships, and why the people you invest in most are sometimes "built to leave."

    Leo Elliott's transformation into a master guitar builder is a remarkable story of second chances. In this conversation, Leo shares his journey from a curious kid in Dallas who loved taking things apart, through years of severe personal struggle, to becoming the founder of Scarlet Fire Guitars.

    From $300/Day Heroin Habit to 70M Downloads: Eric Zimmer on Recovery and Reinvention

    Eric Zimmer's story reveals the complex path from rock bottom to redemption. Growing up as a gifted but troubled kid in Ohio, Eric's restless energy led him from childhood kleptomania to a devastating heroin addiction that left him homeless and facing multiple felonies. After getting sober and thriving for eight years, a devastating betrayal in his AA community led to a relapse that looked completely different from his first addiction experience. Now eighteen years sober, Eric hosts The One You Feed podcast, which has been downloaded over 70 million times. His new book "How a Little Becomes a Lot" explores how lasting change happens through consistent small steps rather than dramatic transformations. This conversation goes deep into the psychology of addiction, the complexity of recovery, and how the same energy that can destroy us can ultimately become our greatest strength when properly channeled. Eric's honesty about both his struggles and his success offers hope for anyone working to transform their life one day at a time.

    Nancy Kramer: Surviving a Self-induced trap, Launching with Apple, and Choosing Herself

    Recognized as one of the "100 Most Influential Women in Advertising History," Nancy Kramer built a marketing empire while trapped in the wrong life. After religious guilt and trauma led to a forced marriage, she escaped into a parallel existence as an entrepreneur. In this episode, Nancy shares her incredible journey of launching her agency in 1981 with seed funding from Apple. She opens up about working directly with Steve Jobs, orchestrating a Victoria's Secret live stream that landed in an MIT time capsule, surviving the dot com crash, and growing her business into a 375 associate pioneer before selling it to IBM. But the real story is about what happened when her body finally said enough. Severe panic attacks became the ultimate wake up call that forced her to trust the inner voice she had ignored for decades. This conversation is a profound look at overcoming generational trauma and finding true alignment.
