Life beyond work feel disconnected? Press pause & listen in. This is a show for entrepreneurs, with nothing about entrepreneurship.
In each episode, a founder takes a break with us to reconnect with personal stuff that matters to them. Instead of talking about work, we talk about their roots & experiences, and how they shaped their thoughts, emotions, and outlook.
Grab a seat and kickback, as we reconnect with parts of our identity that got left in the dark, and rediscover the foundation of who we are.

Compassion, Uncertainty, and Cab Rides
Calgary Brown leads programming and partnerships for one of the nation's pioneering entrepreneur programs, Move The Crowd. But we don't talk about any of that.
Instead, Calgary talks about all of the other parts that make her a complete human: having compassion even with all of the craziness happening in the world, being open to what others are doing, an unexpected cab ride in Nairobi, and more.
Visiting expert Dr. Jacquelyn Johnson also calls in. She works with professionals of color, primarily Black women, to help them get “unstuck” in life and chart a path towards attaining a life of meaning, value, and purpose. We talk about the science behind why unfamiliar situations create fear, and for people who take more risks with unfamiliar situations, what's different about their psychology. -
Friendship, Humanity, and Wormholes
Alli Goldberg is a Creator and the Co-Founder of GoldJam Creative. But we don't talk about any of that.
Instead, Alli talks about all of the other parts that make her a complete human: Summer nights in New York, observing humanity doing weird shit, how the course of life affects friendships, a negativity wormhole, and more.
Visiting expert Vix Jensen, MSc. also calls in. She specializes in advocating for the inclusion of disabled people in feminist conversations and spaces. We talk about the science behind why our emotions feel so hurt when our relationship and efforts for others don’t feel reciprocated or when they feel misaligned. -
Mental Health, Soul, and Thrift Shop Swag
Richie Nuñez is the Creator & Producer of La Segunda. But we don't talk about any of that.
Instead, Richie talks about all of the other parts that make him a complete human: understanding trauma down to your soul & your heart, learning to expand empathy, addressing trauma by bringing it to the forefront of his mind, visiting demons, and more.
Visiting expert, Dr. Margaret Jones, Psy.D. also calls in. She specializes in a strength-based focus and addresses a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and abuse, and anger management. We talk about the science behind why we often bury and ignore feelings of anger, pain, and negative emotion after going through hard times, hoping they would just go away.

Customer Reviews
Remarkable podcast
Jeff is as inquisitive as he is genuine, and thoughtful, kind and sensitive. I really appreciate his passion for exploring deep subjects and showing a side of humans and entrepreneurs that they never get to see. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs and teachers, it was amazing to show the backstory that led to the leader in the room, to see a whole human being. These conversations are so important to families, communities and the world. Thank you, Jeff for your heartfelt passion and generosity in creating this “marketplace” of the human side of entrepreneurship!
A heart-centered podcast
I love this podcast and wish I had thought of the idea first! This is a podcast featuring guests who are leaders in their fields… but the conversations have nothing to do their “accomplishments.” Jeff is an incredible host and asks the best questions that take his guests down a level of introspection that we as the listeners have the honor and privilege of listening in on. We need more of these types of conversations!
The real deal
You want to learn about human things? The kinds of things, feelings, ups and downs that real people doing real projects have? This is your podcast :)
