Somebody sold us the idea that you can do everything at 110%. Liz and Jason aren't buying it, and neither is today's guest.

Today it's Adrianna Cognetti Fiddle: Jason's former account rep at Sergio Rossi, a Scranton native who walked to work in stilettos, ran wholesale for the Americas, and now runs a house of two boys under four on Long Island.

There's straight advice for women getting into fashion (it's not all glamour, and there's a million other girls who will do the job), a New York date who went to the bathroom and never came back, and the moment she realized her husband could be the one. Then the real conversation: who you are before kids, who you are after, and why your own career still matters. Plus Schmoozefest, This or That, chicken nuggets and a caviar bump for Nosh of the Day, and a Mitzvah of the Day.

It's luxury shoes, career pivots and bad dates, with an honest talk about ambition and motherhood in the middle.

Pour a protein coffee and join Liz Cohen and Jason Salstein for Hustle & Schmear Episode 53 with Adrianna Cognetti Fiddle.

Liz and Jason go to Miami for the sunshine. They get monsoon season instead.

Today it's a rain-soaked drive to Books and Books — no umbrella, no real plan, just two yentas trying to make it across town in one piece. Naturally, nothing goes exactly as planned.

It starts on the water at Sunset Harbor, then flashes back to the drive: a pizza debate, a Grindr outage that somehow ends at the RNC and then at Hooters, a coffee pit stop with their friend Gil, and a parking search that turns into its own subplot. They finally make it to Books and Books where instead of finding books, Liz also found love. On the way home: fashion talk, flooding, a couple of near-misses, and a robot nobody expected. A stop at Miami Slice earns its own Nosh of the Day. They close it out back at Sunset Harbor with a Rosh Hashanah sign-off and a Mitzvah of the Day.

It's rain-soaked roads, a pizza debate and a parking odyssey.

Join Liz Cohen and Jason Salstein for the Hustle & Schmear Episode 52 Miami special.

Brad Cummins went from the sales floor at The Webster to building the websites that sell luxury fashion. He's the founder of WMD Agency in Miami Beach, and this week he joins Jason and Liz to talk about getting rejected twice before getting hired, what happens when Chanel tells you to take the photo down, whether AI is coming for your job, and how a summer camp for troubled kids turned him into a fly fisherman.

Plus: the great creamer debate, why Apple won with three clicks, a sushi boat in Miami, and a bagel order that costs more than it should.
