    EP124: From Free Gigs To Success: How Jessica Hallahan Built A Thriving Business By Saying Yes

    On this episode of "Into the Unknown" What if one “yes” — to a tiny yoga workshop on a snowy day — could change your entire business? Jessica Hallahan shares how her journey from public health grad to sought-after workshop facilitator began with pure grit, a willingness to serve, and a deep desire to do meaningful work. From launching her business out of a dentist's office to speaking in blue-collar industries by 6:30 a.m., Jessica’s story is proof that momentum comes from motion — especially when you don’t feel fully ready. Together, she and Jeremy unpack the delicate dance between saying yes to opportunities and learning when it’s time to say no to protect your energy, vision, and value. Jessica also opens up about her annual fundraiser, her new book Drink the Coffee While It’s Hot, and why self-trust is the true ROI of putting yourself out there. If you’ve ever doubted where you’re headed, this conversation will remind you: every maybe is a chance to meet your next miracle.

    EP123: The Day She Said “Why Not”: Claudette Rowley On Designing Spaces That Heal, And Lives That Feel Like Home

    On this episode of "Into the Unknown" Claudette Rowley never thought she'd become an interior designer. She had a thriving consulting practice, a strong resume — and a quiet inner voice that kept whispering “what if?” In this soul-stirring conversation with host Jeremy Swick, Claudette shares how a two-day color workshop became the spark that reconnected her to something deeper: a lifelong love of beauty, design, and the unseen impact of our environments. What followed wasn’t just a career shift — it was a homecoming. Together, they explore the intersection of design, trauma recovery, and intuition — from biophilic design and neuroscience to flipping historic homes and creating healing spaces for women navigating divorce. This episode is for anyone standing at the edge of reinvention, wondering if it’s too late to start again. It’s not. Claudette’s story is proof that sometimes the smallest “yes” can lead to the most profound transformation.

    EP122: From Backpacking Africa To CRDLE: How Valerie Bowden Built A 120-Person Outsourcing Company

    On this episode of "Into the Unknown" When Valerie Bowden left her Midwest roots behind and bought a one-way ticket to Africa, she had no idea how profoundly it would reshape her life and career. What started as a solo backpacking trip across 13 countries eventually led to eight years living in Ethiopia, where Valerie discovered both the continent’s extraordinary talent and the structural barriers keeping millions of professionals from global opportunities. Valerie shares how those eye-opening experiences inspired her to launch Cradle, an outsourcing company that now employs 120 African professionals for U.S. clients. She opens up about the challenges of leaving behind stability, the misconceptions surrounding outsourcing, and the lessons she’s learned about resilience, opportunity, and building businesses that create real win-win impact across borders.

    EP120: From Corporate Exec To Franchise Visionary: How Rick Morgin Rebuilt His Career With Purpose

    On this episode of "Into the Unknown" What does it take to leave a decades-long corporate career and dive into the unknown? In this episode, franchise consultant and entrepreneur Rick Morgin opens up about the moment he walked away from a stable career in the beverage industry—and the spark that led him to franchise consulting. From unexpected networking encounters to gut-level decisions, Rick shares how trusting himself (and ignoring the fear of a 100% commission life) reshaped his entire path. His journey is equal parts strategy and serendipity—and proof that reinvention is always possible. We also explore the evolution of his work, from helping others find franchise fits to mentoring his son in a bespoke clothing franchise—and launching a revolutionary new waste management model poised to disrupt the U.S. market. Rick’s honesty about the hard moments, fleeting doubts, and what keeps him moving forward is a masterclass in resilience. Inside, you’ll gain insight into the real myths of franchising, how emotional buy-in impacts business decisions, and why betting on yourself might be your smartest investment yet.

    On this episode of "Into the Unknown" Most people play it safe. Aaron Smalls didn’t. In this episode, you'll hear how one unexpected audition at Nickelodeon flipped Aaron's path from engineering student to sought-after entertainer, keynote speaker, and warm-up host of The Kelly Clarkson Show's live audience at 30 Rock.

From childhood in the Virgin Islands to commanding stages and DJ booths, Aaron opens up about fear, pivoting, and the power of choosing momentum over perfection. What unfolds is a deeply human conversation about trusting your instincts, navigating career reinvention, and building a life around your energy—not your resume.

    On this episode of "Into the Unknown" What drives someone in their mid-50s to leave everything behind—friends, family, and familiarity—for a fresh start across the globe? Meet Sid Banerjee, who did exactly that when he uprooted his life in India to take on a CEO role in New York. In this deeply human episode, Sid opens up to host Jeremy Swick about navigating culture shock, building a business from scratch, and surviving the emotional toll of isolation while leading through industry disruption. His secret weapon? Emotional grit—and a long-awaited family reunion that changed everything. You’ll discover the surprising link between cricket and boardroom leadership, the hard truth about what AI can’t fix, and why every major leap requires a hidden anchor. If you're standing at a crossroads—or just feeling the weight of going it alone—Sid’s story will challenge you to rethink what's possible, and why timing might just be your greatest asset. This isn’t just a conversation about business—it’s a roadmap to personal reinvention.
