Our episodes highlight behind-the-scenes stories and conversations with successful entrepreneurs building a life & business on their own terms.

Hosted by SEO Consultant, Mariah Magazine + Sales Strategist, Shay Schindler, your go-to girls for rewriting the rules to success, life, and business. This podcast started with both of us being in the online business world, craving more deep, meaningful & transparent conversations, so we decided to come together and create a space to do just that. Our guest interviews highlight cool business owners & entrepreneurs doing cool shit, chasing their dreams, and going down their own rabbit holes, all in the name of redefining success in business & life. We believe you get to do things differently. You get to pave your own path. You get to decide what success, life, and business "success" looks like. And it all starts with getting curious.
