    What Happens When Life Doesn’t Go According to Plan with Jessica Stanley

    Send us Fan Mail Jessica didn’t set out to build a nonprofit. She was living her life. Raising kids, building her career, doing all the normal things and then everything shifted. A diagnosis. A timeline no one was ready for. And a version of life she never planned to navigate. And somewhere in that, she built something. Brave Men started because of her husband, Demetrius, but what it’s become is bigger than that. It’s pushing men to pay attention to their health, get tested, and have conversations most of them avoid. The kind that could change everything if they had them sooner. This conversation goes a lot of places, grief, responsibility, family, health, but underneath all of it is a real look at what it means to keep going when your life takes a turn you didn’t choose. And what you decide to build from there.

    The Cost Of Your Comfort Zone

    Send us Fan Mail Your comfort zone isn’t harmless. It looks like safety. It feels like routine. It even disguises itself as “being responsible.” But underneath that? It can quietly drain your energy, cap your identity, and delay the future you keep saying you want. In this episode, I’m breaking down the real cost of comfort through the Mental Athleticism lens—and why the goal isn’t to live in constant misery… it’s to learn how to choose intentional discomfort that actually moves your life forward. We walk through four ways comfort gets expensive: The safety illusion → when “stable” turns into stuck The energy drain → why you feel tired even when nothing’s “wrong” The identity ceiling → outgrowing labels like “the reliable one” or “the safe one” The opportunity cost → how comfort doesn’t just protect your present, it postpones your future If you’ve been: avoiding a hard conversation sitting on an idea because you’re afraid of judgment or staying in a role that no longer fits …you’re going to hear yourself in this. Then we get practical. I’ll walk you through how to: locate the friction name it and take one small rep internally (self-command) and one externally (environmental design) No dramatic, life-altering leaps. Just small, intentional experiments that build momentum—and give you real data through your energy, flow, and alignment. 🔥 If this hit you, here’s what to do next: 🎯 Subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss weekly solocasts like this 🎯 Share this with a friend who’s been playing it safe (you know exactly who) 🎯 Drop a comment: Where are you choosing comfort right now?

    From Food Truck to North Market: Rick Harrison Wolfe on Reinvention, Risk, and Building in Columbus

    Send us Fan Mail Rick Harrison is the Executive Director of North Market, but that’s not really the story. The story is how he got there. Fashion career in LA. Job ends.

We talk about what it actually looks like to start over, what people don’t understand about building something, and why the best paths rarely make sense when you’re in them. We get into:  What it actually takes to build something in Columbus  The reality of starting over when your career falls apart  Why the best paths rarely make sense at the time  How North Market has evolved and what’s next  The power of local, independent businesses in shaping a city This is a conversation about reinvention, resilience, and what it really looks like to build something meaningful. 🎧 Listen to The Keri Croft Show every Monday and Thursday on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

    From $40 to a Cult Brand: The Relentless Rise of Pebby Forevee

    Send us Fan Mail What starts with $40… and turns into a cult brand? In this episode of The Keri Croft Show, I sit down with Liz Haislip, founder of Pebby Forevee. A brand that didn’t come from a playbook, investors, or experience, but from pure obsession, grit, and an unwavering belief that she was meant for more. But this conversation goes way deeper than business. We talk about:  • The reality of building something with no plan B  • Body image, confidence, and how Pebby became more than just clothing  • The pressure of becoming the face of your brand  • Burnout, identity shifts, and the moment she almost walked away from everything  • The mindset shift that changed how she leads, hires, and grows  • What it actually takes to build a life, and business, on your own terms This is a story about resilience, reinvention, and what happens when you decide you’re not going to live a “normal” life.

    What is Mental Athleticism™️? Part Three. The art of mastering your internal world.

    Send us Fan Mail Part 3 of the Mental Athleticism series is here—and we’re going inside your head. Because you can meal prep, hydrate, and hit your workouts… but if your thoughts are absolute garbage, none of it sticks. This episode is all about self-command—learning how to filter the noise, challenge the b******t, and stop letting every passing thought run the show. We break it down simply: Thoughts aren’t facts—they’re guesses. Start testing them.Thoughts turn into stories, and stories shape identity—so choose one that actually moves you forward.Feelings are data, not directions—meaning you don’t need to feel ready to act.Mental Athleticism isn’t just about vision and execution—it’s about cleaning up your internal world so your actions actually align.

    Mental Athleticism Part Two. Relentless Execution of the Daily, Boring, Unsexy Sh*t.

    Send us Fan Mail Part one of the Mental Athleticism series was all about anchoring to a big, audacious vision for your life. But vision only becomes powerful when you’re willing to execute on it relentlessly. Because big lives aren’t built in big moments. They’re built in small daily decisions.

We dive into the four pillars of Mental Athleticism—big vision, relentless execution, command of self, and environmental design—and focus on the unsexy middle: the daily reps that actually move your life forward.
