    #32: Just Start | Jared Ponce Casados

    Jared Ponce Casados is the operator and strategic partner at Amplifi, a financial education brand. In today’s conversation, we talked about what it’s like to be a young entrepreneur. Building businesses and going an unconventional route can be a rewarding journey, but it can also be a lonely and isolating one. Jared shares his story of trying and failing at a handful of different pursuits while he was on his way to his current career at Amplifi, and gives relatable perspective for other young professionals chasing similar paths. Some of the highlights from today’s episode: How do you find your “calling?”Building a circle of mentorsDefeating imposter syndromeIt’s normal people all the way to the topWhy alignment is better fuel than passionIs life all about the grind?Jared is one of the dudes who inspires me to aim big in life and stay grounded along the way. This conversation would have been awesome for my 20 year old self to listen to, and I hope anyone chasing an unconventional dream finds some valuable takeaways from it. Thanks for listening.

    #30: Year In Review | Drew Korf

    Drew Korf (that's me!) is a podcast host and the founder of Storyline Media Co. Today’s episode is a year-in-review of 2025, which was the most transformative year of my life.  As opposed to some of the Q+A formats or “lessons” episodes from the past, I broke this episode into the self-labeled chapters that made up my life over the last year, and pulled some lessons and stories to share from each one. Key Moments: Alchemizing an ego deathStarting therapyTaking a fightScuba diving vs. Jet skiingThe value of pattern breaksBuilding a beautiful gardenGetting good at the wrong things is a trapWhat matters?Starting to explore churchRapid firing the most helpful takeaways from the year2026 announcementThis episode was an important and challenging one for me. Since I’m typically in the question-asking seat, I don’t get pushed very often to share stories and takeaways from my personal life and it’s a bit of an untrained muscle for me. I hope that there is a valuable takeaway or two baked into the stories and insights that I shared from this year. Excited for the next one.

    Highlights: A Hallucination About What Doesn't Matter

    This story came as a part of a month and a half journey of sleep deprivation that Brady was facing due to a spinal injury. It has helped me me make some big decisions over the last couple of weeks, and has been a helpful lens to re-examine life through. Hope it's helpful for you, too.

    #27: What Matters? | Brady McLean

    Brady McLean is a writer, a photographer, a brand therapist, and the co-founder of GoFastDontDie. In this episode, Brady shows up in a unique season of life where he’s been dealing with a spinal injury **insert Mike Tyson voice** that’s caused some high-level nerve damage for the last couple of weeks. That has meant little to no sleep. Little to no exercise. Hallucinations. And lots of time for conversations with God. During this conversation, we covered 3 tools that we can use to make hard decisions in life more simple. Expect to hear some impactful stories to drive those tools home, Brady’s reflections on this season of life, and some wholesome yapping in between. Thanks for listening.
