    Ep. 97 - Champions Circle On the Road with JJ McCarthy, Blake Corum, Yaxel Lendeborg, Adam Schefter & Michigan's NFL and NBA Stars

    Champions Circle hit the road and history was made in South Florida. For the first time ever, Michigan football and basketball came together in Boca Raton for a one-of-a-kind Champions Circle Private Workout Experience on the campus of Florida Atlantic University, bringing current and former Wolverine student-athletes together for workouts, real conversations, and a front-row look at what makes the Michigan family unlike anywhere else.Michigan alum Paige Kornblue sits down with Super Bowl champion and LA Rams running back Blake Corum, Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood, 2026 Big Ten Player of the Year Yaxel Lendeborg, Brooklyn Nets forward Danny Wolf, Washington Commanders CB Mike Sainristil, Miami Dolphins LB David Ojabo, Michigan QB Tommy Carr, Michigan legend Denard Robinson, former Wolverine great Anthony Carter, Michigan guards Elliot Cadeau and Trey McKenney, ESPN Senior NFL Insider and Michigan alum Adam Schefter, plus Champions Circle co-founder Jared Wangler and Champions Circle board member Nate Forbes. Also featured at the event: Minnesota Vikings QB JJ McCarthy and a deep roster of Michigan's brightest pros.The takeaway? It's not about the contracts. It's not about the buildings. It's about the people and the network that makes Michigan, Michigan. In a college sports era defined by transactions, this episode is a reminder that the Wolverine family still leads with relationships, mentorship, and showing up for the next generation.And because the timing was everything, recorded just before Mother's Day, you'll also hear some of the athletes pause to honor the moms, wives, and women who've shaped them along the way. A reminder that behind every Wolverine, there's a family that made it possible.Learn more at ChampionsCircleUofM.com.Go Blue! 〽️www.ChampionsCircleUofM.comwww.PaigeKornblue.com

    Ep. 96 - Stories, Storms & Second Chances: John U. Bacon on The Gales of November and Life Lessons that Outlast the Score

    Some stories grip you because of the storm. Others stay with you because of what comes after.New York Times bestselling author John U. Bacon has written more than a dozen books from leadership lessons drawn from coaching America's worst high school hockey team, to Michigan classics to his latest, The Gales of November, the untold story behind the Edmund Fitzgerald and the brutal, invisible world of Great Lakes shipping.In this episode, John and I cover a lot of ground: what makes a leader worth following, why disaster is almost never one thing, the Colin Powell quote every boss should keep close, and why first drafts are supposed to stink. We talk about Bo Schembechler's secret superpower (it wasn't yelling), the wild west of college football today, and the parenting wisdom of getting out of the way and letting the kids play their own game.We also share a tender moment about my parents who sat in John's University of Michigan classroom in retirement and lived a curiosity-first chapter that still shapes how I move through the world.If you're navigating a curveball, building something new, raising kids, or just trying to figure out what to keep and what to let go… this one's for you.johnubacon.compaigekornblue.com

    Ep. 94 - Grief, Loss & the Power of Showing Up: A Conversation with Empower

    Grief doesn't follow a calendar. It shows up on the good days and the hard ones, the everydays and on holidays, in songs on the radio and quiet moments in the car. And for kids who have lost a mom or dad, it can feel impossibly isolating. This episode is a live conversation about all of it: grief, loss, resilience, and the power of showing up.I partnered with Empower, a national nonprofit supporting children and young adults who have lost a parent, to host a night at The Boca Raton centered on community, conversation, and a shared mission to strengthen Empower's South Florida chapter.I sat down with four powerful voices: Cara Belvin (Empower founder, on the moment that inspired her to build this one-of-a-kind mentor program for kids in grief), Logan Husband (FAU football player, on losing his father at five and the people who stepped in along the way), Jere Croke (father of four, on navigating life after losing his wife Detra and what "controlled chaos" looks like in real time) and Skye Dyer (singer, writer, and daughter of the late, legendary Dr. Wayne Dyer, on the lessons in love and kindness she carries with her).If you've ever lost someone, loved someone who has, or wondered how to show up for a friend in grief… this conversation is for you.www.PaigeKornblue.comwww.WeAreEmpower.orgHow to Get Involved with Empower:DONATE — fuel mentor matching, free programs, and Mother's & Father's Day events for kids in grief. VOLUNTEER — help plan events, build community, and bring your time and talent to the mission. MENTOR — adults who lost a parent at any age can apply to be paired with a child or young adult walking that same path. ENROLL A CHILD — if you know a child or young adult (up through age 24) who has lost a parent, refer them so they can join the community.

    Ep. 93 - Redefining Family: A Mindset Shift from the World of Divorce

    Five years into divorce, Paige opens up about redefining family on her own terms: the unexpected ease of co-parenting, the Rumi quote that stayed with her, lifelong family friends who've seen her through every version of herself, and what it means to give her kids real, joyful memories… even when the picture looks different than she once imagined.If you're navigating divorce, separation, or any kind of change in what "family" looks like, this one's for you."Sometimes it's not about recreating what was. It's about allowing something new to take shape… and trusting that it can still be good. Maybe even really good."Find more at PaigeKornblue.com and on Substack @paigekornblue

    Ep. 92 - Soul of a Lion: The Story Behind DAOU’s Most Powerful Wine

    Wine is more than what’s in the glass. It’s memory, culture, connection, and story. In this episode of The Paige Kornblue Show, I sit down with DAOU Vineyards Brand Ambassador Laura Reynolds to explore why wine has such a powerful place in our lives… from celebrations to quiet moments and everything in between. Laura shares the story behind DAOU’s flagship wine, Soul of a Lion, named in honor of the Daou brothers’ father, and how that legacy of resilience continues to shape the brand today. We also go inside the newly launched Soul of a City experience, bringing wine, food, and culture together in cities like Miami…and the newly released 2023 vintage, a standout year shaped by near-perfect growing conditions and balance. Whether you’re a wine lover or just wine-curious, this episode offers insight, perspective, and a reminder: sometimes, it’s not about how much… it’s about the moment.
