    Love More, Fear Less: How a Pair of Pink Socks Sparked a Global Movement

    What if one spontaneous act of kindness at a hotel pool could spark a global movement? That's exactly what happened to Nicholas Adkins, founder of Pink Socks Life Inc. and author of Pink Socks: How a Pair of Socks Became a Symbol of Love and Connection. Nick went from suit-and-tie healthcare CEO to Portland hippie after one week at Burning Man, and that pivot led him to a simple but powerful truth: real human connection is the antidote to the fear-drenched, algorithm-driven world we're all swimming in. Over 300,000 pairs of pink socks later, he's still proving it every day. Find Nick at pinksocks.life and on Instagram at @pinksocks.life. The book is on Amazon, with all proceeds benefiting the Pink Socks Life nonprofit. Want to be a guest on Drink O'Clock?

    Leave Your Backpack at the Fence

    What if the secret to building a state championship team wasn't drills or plays, but teaching kids to drop their mental garbage at the fence before practice? This week I sit down with Janet Dickey, head field hockey coach at Westbrook High in Connecticut, certified mindset coach, and founder of Victory Mindsets. Janet is entering her 36th season coaching the same small-town program she played for as a kid, and she's built one of the smallest schools in the state into a conference champion. We get into the "blade 54 generation" of kids who want to be told exactly where to run, how a 2016 state title pushed her toward mindset coaching, and why she's stayed at the same school for three and a half decades while everyone else was leveling up and moving on. Plus, sibling rivalry as rocket fuel, raising problem solvers instead of rule followers, and why "I loved watching you play today" might be the most important thing a parent can say on the car ride home. Find Janet at victorymindsets.com or on Instagram and LinkedIn. Want to be a guest on Drink O'Clock?

    The Invisible Rules of Culture You're Probably Breaking

    At 22 years old, Renae Ninneman flew halfway around the world to teach English in South Korea. It was 2004, cell phones weren't really a thing yet, and she couldn't even confirm with her parents that she'd landed safely until days later. That leap kicked off a lifelong obsession with decoding cultural differences, and today she's the founder of Beyond Tourism, a community radio DJ on KZUM 89.3 FM, and a doctoral student studying how we connect across cultures. We dig into the reverse culture shock she felt coming home, how concepts like power distance and direct versus indirect communication completely reframed her experience, and why she believes cultural intelligence is a skill anyone can build. Renae breaks down why Americans can come across as "aggressively friendly" to people from other cultures, why you don't look your boss in the eye in South Korea, and how self-reflection is the piece most people skip when trying to connect across differences. Plus, we get into Korean food, sushi conveyor belts, and how music transcends language. Check out Renae's work at goingbeyondtourism.com, and catch The Language of Music Sunday afternoons on KZUM 89.3 FM. Want to be a guest on Drink O'Clock?

    The Renovation Prenup Every Homeowner Needs

    You found a contractor with great reviews, everyone's on their best behavior, and you're about to hand over your life savings to someone you met two weeks ago. What could go wrong? In this episode, I sit down with Garrett Hardy, author of Through Reno Mess: Contractor Proof Your Home and Budget. Garrett has spent decades on high-end residential projects, appeared on HGTV Canada's Kitchen Equipped, and has seen every way a renovation can go sideways. We talk about why hiring a contractor is basically speed dating with your money on the line, the "renovation prenup" that could save you from losing leverage mid-project, and how to vet a contractor before you ever sign a contract. Whether you're planning a kitchen remodel or just getting a fence put up, this one's packed with stuff you won't learn on HGTV.

    Garbage In, Garbage Out: AI, Cloud, and Self-Advocacy with an AWS Leader

    What does it actually take to explain AI and cloud strategy to a room full of executives who've been doing things the same way for 30 years? In this episode, I sit down with Shweta Keshavanarayana, a Customer Solutions Manager at Amazon Web Services, to talk about everything from growing up in Bangalore to architecting the 2012 London Olympics streaming platform at just 22 years old. Shweta breaks down generative AI and cloud adoption in a way that anyone can understand (her go-to test: can you explain it to an 8-year-old?). We get into what businesses actually get wrong when moving to the cloud, why the phrase "garbage in, garbage out" should be everyone's AI mantra, and how better prompting can completely change what you get back from tools like ChatGPT and Claude. We also have a real conversation about what it's like being the only woman in the room in big tech, why self-advocacy is a skill you have to build like a muscle, and how her "I Am Remarkable" workshops have helped hundreds of people find the confidence to speak up for themselves.

    One Less Beer, Better Strokes on the Putt

    What if putting was just math? In this episode, I sit down with Bob Labbe, author of Putting by the Numbers: A Quantitative Method of Lag Putting, to break down why lag putting is the most overlooked skill in golf and how a simple physics-based method can shave strokes off your game. Bob shares his journey from starting golf at 52 years old to shooting par at 82, how he built and sold three air pollution control companies before turning his engineering brain loose on the putting green, and why putting accounts for up to 50% of your score yet almost nobody practices it that way. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or you've never left Top Golf, this one's packed with insights on distance control, individual power factor, and why one less beer might mean better strokes on the putt.
