    Blake Mycoskie: What Happened After the $650 Million Success Story

    Blake Mycoskie built one of the most recognizable purpose-driven brands in the world. Before TOMS, he was already a serial entrepreneur, launching businesses ranging from a college laundry service to online driver’s education. Then a trip to Argentina inspired an idea that would change his life: sell one pair of shoes and give another pair to someone who needed them. TOMS started with just $3,000 and grew into a global phenomenon, eventually giving away more than 100 million pairs of shoes. But while the company was exploding, Blake says he was quietly struggling. In this deeply personal conversation with Rachel Uchitel, Blake opens up about the pressure to constantly achieve, the external validation that never made him feel like he was enough, the effect that struggle had on his marriage, and the depression that followed the sale of TOMS. He also shares his experience being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, why he believes that diagnosis was incorrect, what happened after he began taking medication, and how close he came to ending his life before finding a psychiatrist who helped him begin rebuilding. Blake explains how confronting his own core wounds changed the way he approaches business, relationships and fatherhood, including the emotional conversation he eventually had with his children about the pressure he believes he unintentionally passed down to them. Today, Blake is still building companies, but he says success no longer determines his worth. He also talks about the Enough movement, his mental-health work, his podcast No Magic Pill, and a new business created alongside his daughter Charlie. This is the story behind the success story.

    HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: Inside the Wild, Weird World of Gilly the Clown

    Happy Halloween from Miss Understood — and who better to celebrate with than a professional clown? Rachel sits down with Gilly the Clown, aka actor and filmmaker Guilford Adams, for a conversation that is funny, surprisingly thoughtful and occasionally just as bizarre as you’d hope a conversation with a clown would be. Gilly has spent roughly two decades professionally clowning around Los Angeles, performing thousands of parties and events while also building an extensive acting career. He’s appeared in more than 100 film and television projects, with credits including Modern Family, Glee, Lucifer, The Morning Show and more. He’s also the co-director of the documentary American Clown, which explores what happened to one of America’s oldest forms of entertainment as clowns went from beloved pop-culture figures to something millions of people genuinely fear. Rachel gets into all of it. Why did clowns become scary? What actually separates a great clown from someone who just puts on makeup? What happens when a kid at a birthday party is being an absolute nightmare? Are there rules professional clowns are supposed to follow? How much money can you actually make clowning? And what happens when those rules involve drinking, smoking... or apparently the occasional bong rip? Gilly also talks about raising twins, balancing acting with clowning, his years working parties around Los Angeles, the 2016 “clown panic,” medical clowning, his documentary, and why he still believes there’s something genuinely important about making people laugh. Yes, we have plenty of fun with Gilly. But by the end of the conversation, you’ll probably have a very different idea of what it actually means to be a professional clown.

    The Golden Life Episode 2 Recap: Harry Dubin Spills on Sonja, Luann, Ramona & Dorinda

    Harry Dubin is back with Rachel Uchitel to break down Episode 2 of The Golden Life — and this time, the recap gets personal. As Sonja Morgan’s behavior, her history with Luann, and her mysterious new boyfriend take center stage, Harry brings more than just an opinion. He’s known Sonja for more than 30 years, dated women in this circle, attended Luann and Tom D’Agostino’s wedding, and has plenty of off-camera stories of his own. Harry reveals the wild way he first tracked Sonja down after meeting her in Washington, D.C., weighs in on her lack of boundaries, gives his unfiltered take on Ramona Singer, explains why he believes Luann has a history of going after Sonja’s men, and casually reveals that Dorinda Medley once threw a shoe at him. Plus, Rachel shares what Tom recently told her about Sonja’s claims that he was “hers first,” Harry talks about his own marriage to Aviva Drescher, and he has a very specific reaction to Sonja announcing she has a boyfriend. Another episode of The Golden Life. Another 30 years of history for Harry to unpack. --- --- --- Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?

    Ranin Karim Revisited: The Other Side of Carl Lentz’s Infidelity Story

    Carl and Laura Lentz are speaking publicly about infidelity, forgiveness and rebuilding their marriage again with the release of their new book, Overcoming Infidelity. But there is another person whose life became part of that very public story. In 2023, Rachel sat down with Ranin Karim, the woman whose relationship with former Hillsong NYC pastor Carl Lentz became one of the biggest scandals surrounding the megachurch. Now, with Carl and Laura telling their story again, Ranin has provided a new statement about the conversation happening today. We’re bringing back Rachel’s original interview because her perspective feels just as relevant now as it did then. Ranin takes Rachel inside how she says she met Carl without initially knowing who he was, when she discovered he was married, how their relationship continued, and the private conversations she says they had as everything began to unravel. She also opens up about being labeled “the mistress,” why she ultimately decided to speak publicly, the Hillsong culture surrounding Carl, and why she believes accountability extends far beyond one affair. At one point, Ranin says Carl told her not to worry because her name was being buried. Her response became much bigger than the scandal itself: she wasn’t going to allow someone else to decide how her story would be told. This is an encore presentation of Rachel’s 2023 conversation with Ranin Karim, newly introduced with Ranin’s response to the conversation surrounding Carl and Laura Lentz today. --- --- --- Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?

    NYC Chaos, Dan’s Glow-Up & Why Miss Understood Is Having a Moment

    This week has been a LOT. Rachel and Dan are back in New York, Rachel is recovering from more work with Dr. Ira, and Dan finally did something about the eyelids he says have been bothering him for years. Spoiler: he is now very into looking at himself in the mirror. We also get into Rachel’s SiriusXM appearance, Harry Dubin officially becoming our weekly Golden Life recap co-host, the possibility of Aviva Drescher joining us, and why the timing of the Michelle Wilkins/Kurt Cobain episode could not have been crazier. Plus, Rachel, George and Dan talk about what it actually takes to run Miss Understood independently, being in the Top 10 in Society & Culture without a network behind us, and why learning through the chaos has become part of the formula. And because it wouldn’t be Patreon without some relationship therapy, Rachel and Dan admit they may have become better business partners than romantic partners lately… so George gives them a very questionable alter-ego solution. We also tease what’s coming next, including new developments in the Amy Tripp saga and a bonus revisit of Rachel’s original interview connected to Carl Lentz and Hillsong. Basically: cosmetic procedures, podcast chaos, reality-TV crossover, relationship problems and way too much caffeine. Welcome to Patreon.

    Who Killed Kurt Cobain? Michelle Wilkins Reopens the Questions Behind His Death

    Kurt Cobain’s death was ruled a suicide in 1994. More than three decades later, Michelle Wilkins believes the case deserves another look. Michelle is the creator behind Who Killed Kurt?, a project dedicated to reexamining the circumstances surrounding Cobain’s death through witness accounts, forensic analysis, public records and the original investigation. In this episode, she sits down with Rachel Uchitel to explain why she believes the official story leaves major questions unanswered. Michelle walks Rachel through the account of a man who says he was at Cobain’s Seattle home the night he died, the amount of heroin found in his system, questions surrounding the shotgun and shell casing, the controversial final lines of the note found at the scene, and an outside pathologist’s interpretation of the autopsy. She also explains how her team brought a large body of research to the Seattle Police Department and why their goal is not to have police simply accept a homicide theory, but to reopen the case and examine the evidence again. Rachel goes into the conversation knowing very little about the decades of speculation surrounding Cobain’s death. By the end, she has a lot more questions. Was the original investigation thorough enough? Does the physical evidence support the official narrative? And after all these years, is it time to take another look at what really happened to Kurt Cobain? This episode discusses disputed claims and theories surrounding Kurt Cobain’s death. His death was officially ruled a suicide, and allegations discussed in this conversation are not findings of fact.     WavyTalk: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=105835&awinaffid=2619464&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwavytalk.com%2F --- --- --- Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?
