The Diaries of High Achievers is a weekly podcast by Corey Singleton and O’Licia Parker-Smith dedicated to you, the ambitious, non-conforming high-achiever that often feels misunderstood. Too often, high achievers are told they take up too much space, are a threat to others, and are too outspoken leaving them ostracized for their strengths and isolated in their success. Our goal is to elevate the overall well-being of high achievers by documenting the highs, lows, and hilariously cringe-worthy moments of two accomplished twenty-somethings while sharing actionable advice to inspire you to take the next step—even if you are taking it alone! Think of us as your like-minded friends you can learn from and laugh with as you navigate your lane to greatness. We’re not just a podcast, we’re a movement. Join us and our occasional guests, in owning your inner achievers, building brands, growing companies, and making good trouble in this complicated world.

Quick trip into Pareto's Law, Effective vs Efficient
Corey brings down his framework on Pareto's Law, and how it can help you disingenuous what really matters vs what doesn't.
Remember, doing something unimportant well does not make it important. Also, requiring a lot of time on something does not make a task important.

We are not supposed to live like this...
Corey and OPS react to a millennial and Gen Z TikTok about the frustrations of working. Are these generations of complainers, people calling out the flaws in the system, or both? Look at this convo through multiple shades of grey, and let us know what do you think.

Church girls, can you do something for meh?
This one is for the church girls! OPS does a ladies-only interview with fellow Christians Claire Bresil, a math professor, and Celina Wickware, a CPS caseworker, to discuss how faith impacts our desires and ambitions, our journeys with deconstruction and reconstruction, and how our understanding of faith has evolved.
Whether you identify as a Christian or not, we invite you into this authentic, vulnerable, and uplifting episode.
